Hank Stampfl Releases Feel Good, a Song 16 Years in the Making.
The Revel Rouge Music debut brings together five interpretations spanning pop, gospel, jazz, club and piano.
NEW YORK, NY — A song written in a SoHo apartment 16 years ago has found its way to the stage and now to streaming. Hank Stampfl has released the EP “Feel Good”, a five-version music project created with producer and songwriter Heather Holley. The song premiered live at Revel Rouge’s 10th anniversary celebration at Baccarat in New York before its digital release.
The project traces the song’s journey from its early beginnings to a new collection of recordings, each with its own sound and character. The versions include Pop, Gospel, Jazz Lounge, Club and Piano. Together, they bring a shared message of optimism to a range of musical styles.
The recordings feature a talented group of collaborators, including LennAsia Harvey and the Bronx Gospel Choir on the Gospel version; Amanda Gabbard, Danny Lipsitz and The Brass Tacks on Jazz Lounge; and Heather Noelle Holley on Piano. Stampfl and Holley produced the project and co-wrote the song.
Holley is known for her pivotal role in launching Christina Aguilera’s career. She and producer Rob Hoffman wrote and produced the demo that led to Aguilera signing with RCA Records.
For Stampfl, Feel Good also marks the debut of Revel Rouge Music, an extension of the creative world behind Revel Rouge, his New York–based luxury experiential firm. The project reflects his belief that music, performance and atmosphere can come together to create a lasting emotional connection.
Feel Good is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, SoundCloud, iHeartRadio and other major streaming platforms.
