Pianist and composer Stephan Moccio has released his new 5-track EP, Die With A Smile. The title track is a cover of the global hit originally performed by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga, rendered in Moccio’s signature salon style. “This is a song I would have played in my early years as a young jazz-lounge pianist at the Four Seasons Hotel. Sit back, sip a glass of wine or a dirty martini, and enjoy this version,” Moccio says.
The EP also includes four additional covers from Moccio’s catalog: Until I Found You, Wrecking Ball, Earned It, and Blue Monday.
Alongside the EP, Moccio’s 2020 album Winter Poems will be released on vinyl for the first time on 17 October 2025 and is available for pre-order here. The LP features ten melodic piano arrangements of holiday classics, alongside new seasonal compositions, including Christmas Time Is Here, White Christmas, and Carol of the Bells.
