Elsewhere, Yves Tumor and Bar Italia’s Nina Cristante recently joined forces to share a collaborative track called ‘WE DONT COUNT’.
It followed Cristante’s previous singles ‘TWINK’ and ‘Till the devil gets bored’, as well as ‘Discordia’ – a collaborative EP with fellow Roman artist Orazio.
More recently, she composed the original score for her debut film, The Richest Man In Babylon which is described by her team as a “disquieting meditation on the psychic and ecological fallout of modern austerity”, and one that explores “personal and systemic collapse with seduction, silence, and precision.”
Reviewing Bar Italia’s third studio LP ‘Tracey Denim’ in 2023 which received a four-star review, NME shared: “The 15 impressively arranged tracks on ‘Tracey Denim’ will only bolster Bar Italia’s discography to date, ushering them, whether they like it or not, even further into the spotlight.”
