Andrea Bocelli Announces New Album "Duets" Featuring Star-Studded Collaborations
Andrea Bocelli has announced the release of a new album titled Duets, which will be out on October 25. The album is a celebration of the 30th anniversary of his illustrious career and features a range of collaborations with artists from various genres, including Shania Twain, Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, Karol G, Celine Dion, Ed Sheeran, Jennifer Lopez, Hans Zimmer, and Dua Lipa.
The album's diverse lineup of duet partners is a testament to Bocelli's versatility and ability to blend his classical style with various genres. Other featured artists include Celine Dion, Ed Sheeran, Jennifer Lopez, Hans Zimmer, and Dua Lipa. The album announcement comes on the heels of Bocelli's headline performance at London's BTS Park and his rendition of "Time To Say Goodbye" at the Oscars with his son Matteo and composer Hans Zimmer.
To accompany the album announcement, Bocelli has released a new single with Shania Twain, "Da Stanotte in Poi (From This Moment On)", a rework of Twain's 1997 hit "From This Moment On". Additionally, a three-day celebration at his home in Lajatico will be captured by director Sam Wrench for a global release this fall, titled "ANDREA BOCELLI 30: THE CELEBRATION". A documentary on the artist, "Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe", is also set for cinemas this fall.
Bocelli reflects on the art of dueting, saying, "To mix voices, mix the vibrations, is for me a very exciting experience, sensual and spiritual at the same time. Something intimate and deep is established between the two voices that sing a duet. We singers are in constant search of colleagues able to give life to this alchemy."
