San Vito is the new album from the Ivor Novello award-winning and multi-platinum selling pop band The Feeling. The album was written and recorded in Southern Italy and saw the band decamp there to self-produce the record as a band together. What began as a short writing trip turned into a full album project with the Italian sun, food, and culture seeping through into the sounds on the record. The band brought in local brass, strings, and pizzica/tarantella percussion players - the result being very much an album by The Feeling but with a subtle Salento flavor mixed in. The title San Vito is influenced by the name of the local town San Vito Dei Normanni, where the band spent their time off from the studio soaking in the local culture, food, and pizzica music. Highlights include lead single "The Right Wrong" - a driving indie-pop anthem about freeing yourself from judgment, a gorgeous duet with US-based country singer Lucie Silvas, and plenty of flamboyant, upbeat 70s-inspired harmonized indie-pop that the band is adored for.
