Album Notes Personnel: Dean Parks, Michael Landau, Ramon Stagnaro, Michael Thompson (guitars); Dan Higgins (flute); David Foster , Randy Waldman (piano, keyboards); Nathan East (bass instrument); Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Paulinho Da Costa, Rafael Padilla (percussion). 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.

Listening to Andrea Bocelli sing at the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Italy, I just had to find this song that he wrote - Because We Believe/Amma Credi E Vai. And there it is on the CD - Amore. This CD struck gold for me the first time I heard it. Andrea sings beautifully, passionately, softly and sounds so sexy. I cannot remember a time when I fell in love with every cut on an album, cassette or CD in my lifetime. The passion in his voice when singing Pero Te Extrano is heart stopping. The duet with Christine Aguilerra - Sosmos Novios, the old Perry Como hit, It's Impossible, is dynamite. And you will find it easy to sing along, especially one cut, Cuando Me Enamoro, the old Englebert Humperdinck hit, A Man Without Love. The track with Stevie Wonder, Canzoni Stonate, is a wonderful surprise too. Amore is a great romantic pop album, with Andrea singing in Spanish, Italian, French and English.

Andrea Bocelli is one of my favorite performers - and always will be. He does another great job with "Amore". If you haven't already fallen for his great talent - give it a try.

Report this review Review created: 07/14/08 by: Probably Bocelli's finest work to date. I think he was 'seeing' how Josh Groban's career was going so well and finally decided to use the same producer/arranger/orchestrator that Josh Groban collaborates with -- David Foster. As soon as he did, it became his finest work. (YouTube 'David Foster') Review ID: 10000000007977687 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
