Claudio Vignali and Javier Girotto present the upcoming release of ARGENTALIA, an album of reinterpretations of selected works from the repertoire of some of the greatest and most popular Italian and Argentine composers of the last century. A sonic journey that embraces the cultural traditions of both worlds, between tango and singer-songwriter music. Thus, Girotto's soprano saxophone and Vignali's piano blend the notes of Piazzolla and Ramirez with those of Dalla and De Gregori through stylistic choices that blend elements of jazz and classical music, for an intimate and engaging musical experience. The single "Libertango," one of Astor Piazzolla's most famous compositions, is available now on all digital platforms, anticipating the album's release scheduled for early 2026. A preview of the album's physical release, the album will be presented in Modena on Saturday, December 13th at "La Tenda," starting at 9:00 PM. Admission is free. The video of the official recording of the track is also available on YouTube from this evening.

Federico Stragà presents his new album È così. Nine songs written over the years by the singer-songwriter, with a more mature and introspective tone compared to the Stragà many remember from the days of L’Astronauta or his Sanremo duets with Anna Tatangelo. The album also includes the single Automobilisti, a song as ironic as it is romantic, performed together with singer-songwriter Fabio Concato and released in the spring.
Naturally, it also features the most recent and eponymous song “È così”, dedicated to his brother.
Produced by Valerio Carboni for Alman Music, the new album will be available in all stores and on all digital platforms starting November 7.

“Nouvelle Vague” is the second single chosen to anticipate the release of the new album project by Roman producer Papik, an international symbol of lounge and nu-jazz music, and Parisian vocalist Kelly Joyce, now an adopted citizen of Rimini and best known for her early-2000s international hit “Vivre la vie”. Following the success of the first single “C’est si bon”, this new track was selected to highlight the essence of the duo’s musical project — the dialogue between the (musical and cultural) influences of Italy and France in the carefree 1950s and 1960s, through a reinterpretation of the great French repertoire of that era.
The song “Nouvelle Vague”, here reimagined by Papik for Kelly’s voice, was originally made famous in France in 1960 by Richard Anthony and evokes the spirit of those years — the desire to take life more lightly. Its title comes from the namesake film movement that emerged in France during that time, while in Italy the Rimini-born Fellini was triumphing with “La dolce vita”. A cultural twinning that, more than sixty years later, still lives on through the film festivals “Nouvelle Vague sul Tevere” in Rome and “Dolcevita sur Seine” in Paris. Today, this new groove crafted by Papik for Kelly once again aims to be the modern soundtrack linking the boulevards of Paris and the terraces of Rome — or the beaches of Rimini and Saint-Tropez.
The single anticipates the upcoming release, under Alman Music, of the tantalizing album “Carbonara e Champagne”.

The new single by Papik and Kelly Joyce is the first preview of this new and fascinating collaboration, which aims to bring together the musical experiences and inspirations of France and Italy in the 1950s and 1960s. From Rome, the icon of lounge and nu-jazz music Papik, the “architect of groove” followed worldwide for his theme-based reinterpretations (with successful productions such as “Cocktail Martino”, “Cocktail Mina”, and the recent “Cocktail Sanremo”), takes up the challenge—encouraged by Parisian singer Kelly Joyce (best known for her international hit “Vivre la vie”)—to deconstruct and reconstruct vintage French music. Together, Kelly Joyce and Papik bring into dialogue two parallel realities from a particularly vibrant historical period for art and music. The soul of the “Yé-Yé” movement is thus stitched back together in Rome through the contaminations of La Dolce Vita. Rome versus Paris, Rimini versus Saint-Tropez. The two artists forge an aesthetic pact, blending sophistication and boldness to create an album that is both popular and refined—a journey that moves through the boulevards of Paris and the terraces of Rome, the velvet of the clubs and the sand of the Romagna beaches—without the need for translation.

Heat, the new production by pianist and composer Claudio Vignali, created together with bassist Blake Franchetto and with the extraordinary participation of Dave Weckl, one of the most celebrated drummers on the international scene. The tune was born in the midst of the pandemic, when sudden isolation forced artists to reinvent their ways of expressing themselves. "Heat" is the result of this challenge: three musicians in different places, connected only by music and by the desire to keep creating, sharing, and expressing themselves. Today, in a context of regained normality, Heat not only tells the story of that season of resilience but also celebrates the strength of artistic connections that, overcoming distances, made the birth of authentic and vibrant works possible. 

After the valuable collaboration with Fabio Concato on “Automobilisti” (a song accompanied by a video featuring the extraordinary participation of Gioele Dix), FEDERICO STRAGÀ is ready to return with a new single entitled “È Così”, available today on all digital platforms and for radio airplay.

The new single “È Così” holds a special meaning for Stragà. The song is a dedication to the singer-songwriter’s brother, a special young man whom Stragà has portrayed through the words and phrases he used to say and repeat throughout the day. “È Così” (“That’s How It Is”) was one of those expressions, used whenever a situation arose that was hard to understand — a sort of acceptance of what cannot be controlled or explained, as Stragà recounts.

“È Così” is not only the new single, but it has also been chosen by Stragà as the title of his new recording project, which will also include the previous single “Automobilisti” with Fabio Concato.

The song was written — lyrics and music — by FEDERICO STRAGÀ, produced by Valerio Carboni at Safe&Sound Studio (RE) and mastered by Marco D’Agostino at 96Khz.it in Milan. Accompanying Stragà: Daniele Morelli (Guitars), Alberto Paderni (Drums), Emiliano Vernizzi (Saxophones), Alessandro Cosentino (Violin), Valerio Carboni (Piano, Keyboards, Bass, Cello, Guitars).

Whatz - The second single from UAZ (Urban Acid Zone), the track chosen to preview the release of the album "Fragments," a fusion of the musical styles and cultures of Andrea Posocco, Giovanni Gorgoni, Piero Terzariol, and Claudio Zambenedetti. The single blends modern sounds with the signature American funk sound of the '70s. The album will feature eleven previously unreleased tracks and will be available on CD (in concept form) and on all digital platforms from September 2025.

Alman Music presents TROPICAL JAZZ, the new playlist that celebrates summer with over 100 minutes of jazz music full of warm, velvety, and carefree tones. A musical journey through jazz, tropical lounge, cocktail-bar seaside vibes, and vintage grooves that evoke slow sunsets and endless nights. A refined collection of tracks selected and reinterpreted by some of the most iconic artists from the Italian and international nu-jazz and chill-lounge scene: Eloisa Atti, Federico Stragà, Daniele Corraro, Ximena Herrera, Marco Marzola, Lara Luppi, Miss Pineda, Fiorenzo Zeni, and many more. "Tropical Jazz" is the perfect soundtrack for an August day among imaginary palm trees, ice clinking in your glass, and time gently standing still. A tribute to the sunniest side of jazz—blending bossa nova, soul, and groove—to revive the free and light spirit of an elegant summer. A playlist to enjoy with your eyes closed, letting yourself be caressed by the breeze and the music.

What happens when the ironic elegance of Kelly Joyce meets the infectious beats of Molella? The result is “C’est moi c’est toi”, a unique track with a style that hooks you from the very first listen. Kelly Joyce returns with a single that blends seduction, rhythm, and lightness, produced by one of the most iconic names in Italian and international dance music. The track is born in classic Kelly Joyce style: refined, sensual, sung with that whispery and precise voice that has always defined the French artist. This time, Kelly decided to take a different direction by turning to Molella to “Molell-ize” the song, bringing an irresistible energy to her soulful and jazzy world — a touch of that ’90s lightness that made people dance under the sun or to the rhythm of the radio, always with a smile. “C’est moi c’est toi” draws its strength from the alchemy between elegance and provocation. Molella’s production adds groove, synths, and beats without diluting the original sophistication — a combination that makes the track both radio-friendly and current, while evoking a golden era of European pop. It’s a project that looks to the past with style and to the present with musical intelligence. Kelly Joyce’s voice remains the undeniable star as it flirts with a soundscape that suits her perfectly.

Urban Acid Zone is the name behind the band from Treviso, which today releases its debut single “Tweaked” on all digital platforms. The track was chosen to preview the upcoming album “Fragments”, the result of a fusion of the musical personalities and backgrounds of Andrea Posocco, Giovanni Gorgoni, Piero Terzariol, and Claudio Zambenedetti. Although this is their debut record, the band has been active for several years through live performances and extensive time spent in the recording studio. This journey led them to develop a smooth sound—at times rhythmic, at others more laid-back—always defined by an intriguing blend of Jazz, Rock, Funk, and Ambient. The album will feature eleven original tracks and will be available on CD (as a concept version) and on all digital platforms starting September 2025.
