On
January 20, 2015, Italian jazz-funk group Camera Soul will release its third
studio album, 'Dress Code', through Azzurra Music in Europe and TIMKAT
Entertainment in the Americas.
The
14-track 'Dress Code' comes as a progressive follow-up to 2013's 'Not For
Ordinary People', and also heralds the debut of lead vocalist Maria Enrica
Lotesoriere (aka "Maria Enrica").
For the
first three years after the group's formation in Bari, Italy in 2011, Camera
Soul worked exclusively as a studio outfit, and its first album, 'Words Don't
Speak', did not feature an accompanying tour.
However,
with the release of second album 'Not For Ordinary People' in the summer of
2013, its Internet radio popularity grew and the album topped at #2 on the UK
Soul Chart, just behind the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire. 'Not For Ordinary
People' remained on the chart's Top 30 most-played albums for an impressive 15
weeks. During this time, the group's leaders, composing-brothers Piero and
Pippo Lombardo (aka "The Brothers Lombardo"), determined that the
band needed to continue to book more live shows in order to satisfy Camera
Soul's growing public.
Beginning
in the spring of 2014, the Brothers Lombardo held auditions for a new lead
vocalist and drummer. They chose the lively Maria Enrica to front the growing
band and the excellent Fabio Delle Foglie on drums. Throughout 2014, Camera
Soul and its powerful horn-line toured southern Italy, opened the famous
Multiculturita Jazz Festival in Capurso, and continued to build an
international fan base, primarily on Internet radio.
With the
release of 'Dress Code', beginning in spring 2015, Camera Soul intends support
the album by performing at several notable jazz festivals throughout Europe and
is currently making plans to bring their show to the United Kingdom, the home
of the majority of its fans.
"Dress
Code" will be available for purchase both on CD and digital download after
January 20 at azzurramusic.it and all major digital music stores worldwide.
TIMKAT Entertainment expects to release in the Americas around the first week
of February and will use CDBABY and its partners for further distribution.
