Salt and pepper and a slice of Naples funk. The new song by Azzurro has you up and dancing in the restaurant, pushing those tables back and getting your best Mediterranean dancing on.
Use those salt shakers to make your beats. With the beautiful female harmonies running through it, this is pure Mediterranean summer evening funk vibes. Let’s go on holiday and hire a scooter to ride around with this song playing out loud.
“Un Giro Per Napoli” is the title track from Azzurro’s new EP, out now on Sorry Mom!, and it sets the tone for the whole record. The song brings together Albert Peiró, Nina Blóm, Ananda Mele, GIN and LAIALAIA, a rotating cast of voices that turns one track into its own mosaic, Naples funk with Mediterranean melodies meeting rock and electronic textures.
"Salt and pepper and a slice of Naples funk, this has you up and dancing in the restaurant, pushing those tables back."
The female voices on this one are full of cosmopolitan spirit. Nina Blóm has been putting out Italian-language pop since 2022, and this is her second time working with Azzurro this year alone, following her feature on “Fotografia.” Ananda Mele, a Brazilian singer-songwriter based in Barcelona, brings her own bossa-nova-meets-R&B world into the mix, the two have already worked together on her album Toda Terra. And LAIALAIA, coming out of Barcelona’s DIY pop scene, adds her own electro-pop edge to the record.
So take these infectious rhythms and dance with them. Ohhh, it just makes you want to have a cool drink in the sunshine with friends.
See you under the lemon trees.
Big love,
