While the title of Album of the Year should not be thrown around lightly, this album should be on any and all lists. It's been selling out like hot cakes, and for good reason. The album draws from the plethora of sounds that shaped Napoli's music scene during the '70s and '80s, replete with boogie synth lines, female vocals, and grooving brass. Tracks like \"Disco Sole\" and \"Ju Vulesse\" sound like a blissed out \u003cstrong\u003eCerrone\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eGiorgio Moroder\u003c\/strong\u003e cut, while other tracks like \"Parev' Ajere\" - a cover of \"Mr. Business\" by \u003cstrong\u003eÉdition Spéciale\u003c\/strong\u003e - sounding like one of the rarest library boogie joints you'd find (peep \u003cstrong\u003eAlan Hawkshaw and Brian Bennett's\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eSynthesis\u003c\/em\u003e, specifically the track \"Getting It Together,\" for an idea). The promo description for the album on the duo's own label, NG Records provides an apt suggestion for best listening practices: \"WARNING: We recommend listening to \u003cem\u003eNuova Napoli\u003c\/em\u003e while walking in the alleys of Napoli’s historic center, around wet clothes hanging and street vendors on tiny three-wheelers.\" 7 Tracks in all, released by NG Records.
