Foothills

Higher than 6% of albums we've rated

The all-vocal approach gives familiar Italian songs a clear identity, though the album’s steady texture and cover-heavy writing limit its depth and development.

What we noticed

• — All ten tracks are built from voices rather than a conventional backing band, with the ensemble supplying both harmony and rhythmic accompaniment.
• — The sequence moves from the title song through Italian pop covers by Pino Daniele, Jovanotti, Zucchero and Paolo Conte, ending on the loping 'Via con me.'
• — The repertoire shifts between Neapolitan songs and mainstream Italian pop, but the vocal-only arrangement keeps the same basic texture across the album.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
