Neo-soul band Fitz and The Tantrums released All the Feels, the band’s fourth studio album, last year via Elektra Records. The six-member group performs their biggest show in DC to date with a concert at The Anthem on Friday, Feb. 14.
Multi-platinum artists Fitz and The Tantrums have quickly grown from independent upstarts to bonafide hitmakers. Their much-anticipated, new album All the Feels features singles “123456” and “I Just Wanna Shine.” All the Feels follows the band’s 2016 self-titled release, which spawned the group’s biggest hit to date, “HandClap.” The RIAA-certified 2x Platinum single has logged more than 400 million global streams, went Top 5 on both the Hot AC and Alternative Radio charts, and it also enjoyed major airplay across the country at Top 40.

In a review for AllMusic, Matt Collar finds plenty to like on the latest album by Fitz and The Tantrums.
“Having first grabbed fans with the retro ’60s-style soul that made up their 2010 debut, Pickin’ Up the Pieces, the band led by lead singer Michael Fitzpatrick quickly evolved into a slick, modern pop outfit with 2013’s More Than Just a Dream. It was a transition that they completed with 2016’s Fitz and The Tantrums, an uber-glossy production that spawned the ubiquitous double-platinum hit “HandClap” and firmly established the group as a pop phenomenon,” Matt wrote.
The songs are ” built upon kinetic synth riffs, programmed-percussion grooves, and Fitzpatrick’s warmly resonant vocals,” he added.
