Matteo Bocelli, the son of legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli, is stepping into his own spotlight with his highly anticipated second album, Falling in Love, set for release on September 12 via Decca Records. Alongside the announcement, he has unveiled a heartfelt new single, To Get To Love You, and revealed plans for a UK tour kicking off this November. With a blend of classical tradition and modern pop sensibilities, Matteo is carving a unique path as a global artist, balancing his iconic heritage with a fresh, emotive sound.

A New Voice in Romance

Matteo Bocelli’s Falling in Love marks his evolution from heir to innovator, carrying forward the Bocelli legacy while establishing his own identity. Growing up under the weight of his father’s monumental reputation has been both a privilege and a challenge. The pressure to live up to such a legacy has fueled Matteo’s determination to showcase his own artistry, blending the emotional depth of classical music with contemporary storytelling. This album, rich in romantic yearning and vulnerability, reflects his personal journey and artistic vision.

The album features passionate tracks like Amnesia d’amore and the cinematic pop ballad If I Can’t Have You, showcasing Matteo’s ability to merge timeless emotion with modern flair. He co-wrote all original songs, collaborating with acclaimed songwriters such as Amy Wadge, Toby Gad, Martin Terefe, Iain Archer, and Johan Carlsson. Beyond his vocal talent, Matteo’s musicianship shines through as he plays piano throughout the album, adding an intimate layer to the project.

The Heartfelt Single: To Get To Love You

Matteo’s new single, To Get To Love You, is a moving ballad that captures the essence of timeless love. Co-written with Grammy-winning songwriter Amy Wadge, the track incorporates a sample from the 1968 film La Leçon Particulière, infusing it with cinematic depth. Recorded in his home in Tuscany, the song reflects Matteo’s ability to weave personal and universal themes of love, making it a powerful introduction to the emotional landscape of Falling in Love.

A Tuscan Inspiration

The Bocelli name is synonymous with Italian culture, evoking images of Tuscany’s rolling hills, vineyards, and sun-soaked afternoons. Matteo invited the producers and musicians working on Falling in Love to his family home, where he shared his passion for cooking, preparing fresh pasta with ingredients from his garden. This setting, steeped in simple pleasures like food and friendship, inspired the honesty and warmth that permeate the album. For Matteo, these moments of connection are as integral to his artistry as the music itself.

A Global Stage Presence

This November, Matteo will bring his captivating blend of tradition and charm to the UK with three intimate performances in Manchester (November 2), Birmingham (November 4), and London (November 5). Following the success of his debut tour, which included sold-out shows at venues like the Sydney Opera House, Matteo is set to embark on a global tour this autumn. His stage presence has already won over audiences worldwide, with performances for high-profile figures like King Charles III and President Biden, as well as opening for Lionel Richie.

Beyond the Music

Matteo’s talents extend beyond the recording studio. His charisma and versatility have led to friendships with global icons like Bella and Gigi Hadid, as well as appearances at events like Kourtney Kardashian’s wedding, where he and his father performed. Matteo has also ventured into fashion, starring in a Guess campaign, and acting, appearing alongside Idris Elba and in The Simpsons’ festive special Feliz Navidad. These cross-medium endeavors highlight his multifaceted artistry and growing global appeal.

A Modern Icon with an Old Soul

Drawing inspiration from artists like Ed Sheeran, with whom he collaborated on the 2023 single Chasing Stars, Matteo Bocelli is poised to become a universal favorite. Like Enrique Iglesias, who brought his father’s Latin passion to a global pop audience, Matteo is redefining romance for a new generation. With Falling in Love, he bridges old-world passion and new-world sophistication, establishing himself as a modern icon with a timeless heart. As he continues to evolve, Matteo’s music promises to resonate with listeners seeking both emotional depth and contemporary allure.
