Starting today on all digital platforms the second single which will precede the release of the album “Ritorno a Napoli”. A new project by the No-Lounge vocalist, who returns to interpret Neapolitan classics, this time together with the Nu-Jazz icon, Papik.

After the first single “Resta cu’mme”, this time a track with a strong Soul/R&B flavor.

The album, scheduled for September, will feature 14 tracks chosen from the most classic Neapolitan repertoire, revisited ranging from nu-jazz, chillout, and bossa nova in an engaging alternation of acoustic and electronic sounds.

It came out 10 years ago, on June 1, 2014, one of our most successful releases. The song "Amores De Cristal" written by Alex Sirvent and performed by Luja Duhart, part of the soundtrack of the famous soap "Lo que la vida me robó", has exceeded the milestone of 30 million plays on digital platforms in recent years. To celebrate, the Re-Master 2024 is now available in Spatial Audio (Dolby Atmos) on all platforms that support this format. 

Thanks Luja! Thanks Alex!

The vocalist of No-Lounge returns to interpret Neapolitan classics together with the nu-jazz music icon, Papik. More than ten years after the release of the album “Napoli,” published with the No-Lounge project and becoming a cult in its genre, Virginia Mancaniello accepts the invitation of the Roman producer and records, this time in her own name, a new concept dedicated to Neapolitan folk songs.

In anticipation of summer, with this first single, Papik and Virginia Mancaniello thus preview the release of the album “Ritorno a Napoli.” The reinterpretation of Modugno's famous song “Resta Cu’ mme,” with its compelling rhythm supported by percussion, strings, and horns in perfect “Papik” style, will undoubtedly brighten summer evenings. The album, scheduled for September, will feature 14 tracks chosen from the most classic Neapolitan repertoire, revisited, spanning nu-jazz, chillout, and bossa nova in an engaging alternation of acoustic and electronic sounds.
