G.I.R.L.S. I.N. T.H.E. C.I.T.Y.! is the latest collection of original songs from Wouter Hamel. The title track from this brand new EP is a unique collaboration between Wouter and troubadour Lucky Fonz III. They wrote the song together for a concert that took place on a magical summer evening at Amsterdam’s famed venue, the Concertgebouw. They were immediately inspired to record the song. After a melancholic overture, the song burst out in a cheerful and sunny refrain. G.I.R.L.S.I.N.T.H.E.C.I.T.Y.! pays tribute to all the ‘Girls in the City’ - to each and every one. With a velvety Dixieland vibe, the song ‘Noam’ takes place in a sleepy harbour town at the beginning of the last century. ‘Remembrance Day’ may come on strong but remains vulnerable and comforting. ‘Hotel Door’ was recorded when Hamel was alone in a forest with only a laptop, a piano, a guitar, an alto violin and a cello – along with some bullfrogs. The instrumental piano etude ‘Cupcakes & Sprinkles’ is dedicated to LouLou.
