Duet partners Andrea Bocelli and Shania Twain surprised their audience by announcing a new single. They collaborated on a rendition of Twain’s 1998 hit From This Moment On, the lead single from Bocelli’s upcoming album Duets. In this version, Bocelli handles the verses while Twain handles the chorus, creating a seamless exchange throughout the song. This collaboration between the Sicilian classical singer and the American country pop star offers a warm, honest and straightforward interpretation of the beloved song.
Andrea Bocelli’s duets album, featuring various artists
Andrea Bocelli’s upcoming album Duets, which is set to be released on October 25, includes collaborations with a variety of guest artists from different musical genres. Following his 2017 album Si, which included new recordings with artists such as Shania Twain, Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, Marc Anthony, Karol G, Sofia Carson, Lauren Daigle, Elisa, Matteo Bocelli and Hans Zimmer, Duets has expanded the roster.
The album includes duets with singers such as Ed Sheeran, Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Giorgia, Christina Aguilera, Ariana Grande, Virginia Bocelli and Luciano Pavarotti, as well as some older recordings. Bocelli expressed his enthusiasm for the project, describing singing the duets as an intimate and intense experience that blends sensual and spiritual elements.
“Mixing voices, mixing vibrations, is a very exciting experience for me, sensual and spiritual at the same time,” Andrea said in a statement about the duets. “Something intimate and profound is established between the two voices singing a duet. We singers are in constant search of partners capable of giving life to this alchemy.”
