Some Like It Hot, the new album from London trio bar italia (Matador), channels romance, intrigue, and self-discovery through lustful rockers and spellbinding pop. It marks a bold evolution for Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi, and Sam Fenton, whose chemistry drives a sound that swings from tender to feral.
Shaped by relentless touring after two acclaimed 2023 albums (Tracey Denim and The Twits), the band has grown from underground minimalists into a commanding live force.
The record captures that transformation: sharp, emotional songs like “omni shambles” and “Eyepatch” fuse pop precision with intensity, while “bad reputation,” “rooster,” and “Lioness” showcase a band stepping fully into the light.
