What we’re listening to: Nell’ Ora Blu, Grasa, Brat and more

In this installment of What We're Listening To, Engadget editors dive into some of the recent music releases we've had on repeat. Yes, Brat has us in a chokehold, too.

It is not at all the usual fare you’d expect from Uncle Acid, very much taking on the structure of a soundtrack with a lot of ambient instrumentals and short dialogue tracks voiced by genre regulars Edwige Fenech, Franco Nero and Luc Merenda (it pulls influence from the poliziotteschi crime/action films as well). And then there are the bangers, as it were: “ Aprender a Amar ” gets in your face with fierce rapping and blaring horns; “ Legendario ” might be the most obvious potential single off the whole album thanks to its signature pop tempo and sound; and “ La Presa ” is basically a salsa IV straight to your veins. It's a gloriously funky build-up with intricate percussion, fat synths, bouncing bass lines and a ridiculously simple but incredibly infectious guitar lick that comes in halfway through "Delorean Dynamite" that makes me want to run through a brick wall.
