That label home signals something: a band ready to be heard beyond the circles that found them first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Some Like It Hot' is a 1959 film starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon about a group of rogue musicians on the adventure path. It is funny, sexy, rambunctious and evergreen - a showcase of a triple-threat cast at full-throttle. 'Some Like It Hot' is also the new album by London three-piece Bar Italia. Certain parallels are perhaps not accidental. It pulses with romance, intrigue, self-discovery and rapture over lustful rockers, spellbinding folk pop, punch-drunk ballads and undefinable moments that sneak up on you like a burst of 5pm sunshine. The record is the culmination of the joint inner world of Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi and Sam Fenton - three singer-songwriters who have transcended their underground roots to embrace a bold, widescreen horizon.The synergy of this three-way blunt rotation is embedded in the trio's DNA. Cristante brings a studied actors' sensibility to vocals ranging from honeyed ('Marble Arch') to hell-bent and possessed ('rooster'). Fehmi ranges from airy, brooding baritone ('Lioness') to mic-chewing megaphone histrionics ('omni shambles'). Fenton, a wispy tenor, can veer between mystical melodicism and soaring blue-eyed soul within the same 8 bars ('Plastered').The cultivation of their sound was chiseled via a relentless writing and touring schedule. With over 160 shows worldwide across 2023-2024, they dispelled any mystique by becoming an exhibitionist and muscular five-piece that's equally comfortable at festival mosh-pit incitement and moments of pin-drop intimacy.Bar Italia have married their serious and heartfelt subject matter with a joy in showmanship. These are songs that twist their quirks into huge choruses, playing with self-identity, emotion and performance until the lines blur. That Hollywood classic from which the album takes it's name ends with the immortal line: \"Well, nobody's perfect.\" This, however, comes pretty close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Fundraiser (3:39)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Marble Arch (2:46)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Bad Reputation (4:02)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Cowbella (4:24)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. I Make My Own Dust (3:41)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Plastered (2:59)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Rooster (5:35)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. The Lady Vanishes (4:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Lioness (3:16)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. Omni Shambles (2:16)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Eyepatch (3:09)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12. Some Like It Hot (4:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 191401217729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matador Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.17.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48802367045787,"sku":"8218313","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-bar-italia-some-like-it-hot-cd-relix.jpg?v=1782098918","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/bar-italia-some-like-it-hot-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
