Bocelli, Andrea: Believe - CD

World-renowned, acclaimed and beloved Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli releases his breathtaking new album Believe on 13 November, celebrating the power of music to soothe the soul. The album features a previously unreleased track by the late Italian composer Ennio Morricone, as well as duets with award-winning mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli. For the very first time, Andrea Bocelli has recorded his own interpretation of Ave Maria and Padre Nostro. Listeners can look forward to favourite songs such as Hallelujah, You'll Never Walk Alone or Amazing Grace. Believe is co-produced by Steven Mercurio and Haydn Bendall.

Believe is a deeply personal and uplifting collection of songs that have inspired Bocelli for years. Andrea Bocelli himself says that "Believe is based on three words: faith, hope and charity.

These are the three theological virtues of Christianity, but – completely independent of any religious belief – they are also the three extraordinary keys to giving meaning and completeness to the lives of every one of us."

Bocelli understands that all music is good for the soul in a way that taps into the finest nuances of humanity, regardless of individual belief: "Good music brings with it a powerful message of peace and friendship, teaches us about beauty and helps us open our hearts and minds," says the artist.

Bocelli's solo rendition of Amazing Grace beautifully concluded his Music for Hope performance this year, which became one of the biggest musical live stream events of all time. The video achieved the largest simultaneous audience for a classical live stream in YouTube history, gaining more than 28million views from around the world in its first 24 hours.

With a career spanning over a quarter of a century, during which he has amassed millions of fans worldwide with his emotive and instantly recognisable voice, Bocelli has collaborated with numerous stars including Luciano Pavarotti, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Céline Dion, Tony Bennett and many others.
