Andrea Bocelli retorna con nuevo álbum 'SI'

Una de las estrellas clásicas más grandes de todos los tiempos está de regreso. Andrea Bocelli presenta su nuevo álbum 'SI'.

Con más de 80 discos vendidos a lo largo de su carrera, interpretando temas para el Papa, conciertos para la realeza y giras internacionales, Bocelli regresa a sus raíces, con una colección íntima de canciones que celebran el amor, la fe y la familia. Fue grabado en su casa en Italia y fue producido por el legendario Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Lou Reed).

. There is the time beforehand, which is made up of thousands of hours of crafting, suggestions and projects, encounters and - at times - confrontations. Trowel and cement, hammer and chisel (and a helmet, for those attempts that went wrong, for the stumbles, for so much that begrudgingly ends up in the bin, for a multitude of reasons). . There is the time beforehand that is the lengthy, patient process of giving tangible shape to a dream. Or better, its soundtrack. Like tailoring a suit, needle and thread, melodies and lyrics (that need to be found, switched and translated), and then choosing its colors, fabric, packaging and finish. More and more, the tracks come together to perceptibly define the feel of the album, and your bias towards it grows a little too, borne from the love for this project that is slowly becoming clearer and coming - increasingly - to resemble you. . In the meantime, you have found many wonderful travel companions, voices with which to intertwine yours, and creative leanings, sensitivities and different generations with whom you can pursue a touch of beauty so as to make the dream you are working towards all the more exquisite. . While waiting to share the result, your desire heightens, as does your apprehension... And you would like to tweak it, or change your mind at the last minute, even if you know all too well that perfection is a fantasy and that there comes the right moment to stop and say: it is good as it is. . Then there is the time afterwards, when you simultaneously celebrate both end and beginning, as the project is no longer a project and it is no longer yours, because finally the songs are free to take flight and find new homes, belonging to the people who want to make them their own. . Today is that day. Today this second period begins. Today marks the end of the road for each of the tracks on the new album and the beginning of their journey. . When I think whether it is truly worth it, after 25 years spent on the stage, I smile at the thought and, in the end, I’ve already answered the question. The response is the album title which, starting from today, is no longer mine, but yours. . - Andrea Bocelli

"Quería volver a mis recuerdos de ser un hombre joven, tocando en un piano bar. Obviamente, desde entonces, he producido muchos álbumes, cantando muchos covers, ha llegado el momento de poner mi esfuerzo en encontrar nuevas canciones". Me gusta comenzar de nuevo, por así decirlo, en mi carrera".

Un verdadero artista internacional, Bocelli grabó su primera canción del álbum en tres idiomas. 'If Only' fue co-escrito por Francesco Sartori y el difunto Lucio Quarantotto, quien ayudó a escribir uno de los mayores éxitos de Bocelli, 'Con Te Partirò' (Time To Say Goodbye), que se lanzó hace más de 20 años y se ha convertido en uno de Los singles más vendidos de todos los tiempos.

. Fall on me, with open arms... Every second of every day of every year, you have been a gift, a wonderful priority. You have been and are still - together with Amos and Virginia - my main reason for existing in the world. Today you turn 21. Today you are a young man. With a sense of satisfaction that cannot be put into words, with a sense of apprehension that cannot be expressed with words - as today you have also chosen to measure yourself against the voice of your soul and pursue the art of sound - it is an unexpected and additional gift to be with you on stage and to harmonize our voices in a single, enveloping melody. Every time. Fall on me, with open arms, Matteo. . . Fall on me, with open arms... Ogni attimo di ogni giorno di ogni anno sei stato un regalo, una meravigliosa priorità; sei stato e sei, insieme ad Amos e Virginia, la mia prima ragione per essere al mondo. Oggi sono ventuno, oggi sei un giovane uomo. Con una soddisfazione che non si può raccontare, con una trepidazione che non si può raccontare, oggi che hai scelto anche tu di misurarti con la voce dell’anima e di corteggiare l'arte dei suoni, è un dono inatteso e ulteriore, poterti essere accanto sul palco, e fondere le voci in un unico abbraccio. Ogni volta. Fall on me, with open arms, Matteo. . @matteobocelli

El álbum también incluye atributos personales de su familia y refleja su espiritualidad. Entre los aspectos más destacados se encuentra 'Vivo', un emotivo homenaje a su esposa, Verónica, y 'Fall On Me', un dueto de hormigueo con su hijo Matteo de 20 años, la primera vez que grabaron juntos.

Al hablar de sus voces contrastantes, Bocelli dice: "Técnicamente son muy diferentes, pero hay una cosa que las hace más similares: la actitud. Esa forma característica de expresarte a través de tu voz. Eso es algo que no puedes aprender, que no se puede enseñar. Eso es algo con lo que has nacido '.

. An album of brand new music featuring the hottest musical stars on the planet and a stunning duet with his son, @matteobocelli. We are delighted that 'Sì' is out now! . Link to the store in bio. . "This is an album that resembles me closely; it reflects my sensitivity and the values I believe in and try to convey. We might take as the album’s underlying theme the image of mankind on a perpetual journey and love as the driving force of existence - the love that is found in faith, in courage, the love of lovers, the love that lives within memory and in the journey of life..." - Andrea . #AndreaBocelli #newrecord

Bocelli volverá a gira a finales de este año, realizando giras por todo el mundo con importantes espectáculos en Estados Unidos, incluidos Nueva York, Las Vegas y Hollywood Bowl de Los ángeles. También habrá conciertos en Alemania, Italia, España, Brasil, Canadá, Irlanda y el Reino Unido, donde los fanáticos tendrán la oportunidad de escuchar la nueva música de Bocelli.

Sí es un álbum sobre corazón y alma, positividad y familia, melodía y magia. Y por esa razón, Bocelli eligió el título fuerte y simple. "En este período histórico que estamos atravesando en este momento, con frecuencia decimos que no. Pero sí, es la palabra que dices cuando das tu primer beso, cuando estás de acuerdo con alguien, cuando quieres hacer que alguien se sienta bien. Sí es la palabra que dices cada vez que las cosas terminan bien.
