Romance. Passion. Emotion. These words are synonymous with Andrea Bocelli. Almost ten years ago he exploded onto the international music scene with Romanza and has since sold over 50 million albums worldwide. Amore-- released amongst the glamour of the Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy and the romance of Valentine's Day -- finds Andrea straying from the classical ground with which he is most familiar. THe concept of the album came from acclaimed producer and long-time Bocelli fan David Foster, along with producer Humberto Gatica and co-producer Tony Renis.

While creating Bocelli's first-ever album of popular songs, Andrea and his producers searched the musical eras from the 1920's to the 1980's for romantic songs including "Les Feuilles Mortes" (Autumn Leaves), "Somos Novios" (It's Impossible), "Besame Mucho", "Estate" (featuring trumpeter Chris Botti) and "Because We Believe" -- a new song written especially for the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli's cross-over success was firmly solidified long before the 2006 release of AMORE, and here, the singer casts an even wider net. Bocelli's voice is tailor-made for sensual romantic balladry, and naturally those songs abound. However, while past outings were marked by dramatic, though fairly straightforward orchestration and a crisp studio gloss, AMORE finds Bocelli utilizing a more diverse musical palette, including Spanish guitars, accordion, harmonica (courtesy of Stevie Wonder), saxophone (Kenny G), and--watch out--pop music's favorite nasty girl, Christina Aguilera.
With superstar producer David Foster at the helm, the Tuscan-born singer selects a collection of pop standards from the ages and from around the world, including "Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves)," "Somos Novios (It's Impossible)," and "Solamente Una Vez." And while Bocelli's voice may be best suited for classical music and light opera, he handles these songs with the passion, skill, and grace fans have come to expect from him. AMORE is a brilliant move for Bocelli: the songs are targeted to a wider group of listeners and yet they have something for his original fans as well--in a word, his voice.

 
Artist Overview
Blind Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli is perhaps crossover classical's most successful performer. Since his 1992 duet with Italian pop-rock sensation Zucchero, Bocelli has had one foot firmly planted in the world of classical opera and the other in commercial pop. His soulful delivery has garnered praise from, among others, Luciano Pavarotti, and has graced numerous traditional opera recordings; however, he has also duetted with the likes of Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman, and AMERICAN IDOL runner-up Katherine McPhee. Bocelli has millions of fans, and is one of the most successful recording artists in the world.
