Fresh from his star-studded headline performance at London’s BST Hyde Park, world-renowned Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli – one of the most successful classical artists of all time – has unveiled his new album Duets, bringing together many of his most beloved collaborations alongside brand new songs to mark his 30th anniversary year. Set for release on 25th October via Decca Records/Sugar Music, this career-spanning 32-track collection includes duets with Ed Sheeran, Céline Dion, Sarah Brightman, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Giorgia, and Luciano Pavarotti, alongside new superstar duets recorded especially for the album with Shania Twain, Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, Marc Anthony, Karol G, Sofia Carson, Lauren Daigle, Elisa, Matteo Bocelli and Hans Zimmer.
The Duets album launches with a new single ‘Da Stanotte in Poi (From This Moment On)’ from Andrea Bocelli and five-time GRAMMY winner Shania Twain – the top-selling female country pop artist of all time. It is a stunning rework of her massive hit ‘From This Moment On’ with newly-recorded lyrics, produced by Rick Nowells. Shania Twain had always loved the idea of performing the song as a classical duet, and now 27 years after its release, she has found the perfect partner for its reinterpretation.

In March 2024, Andrea Bocelli kicked off his anniversary year by taking the stage at the Oscars with his son, recording artist Matteo Bocelli, wowing the star-studded Hollywood audience with a surprise performance of his popular song ‘Time To Say Goodbye’, produced and arranged especially for them by two-time Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer. This iconic song, originally released as ‘Con te partirò’ and later as a duet with Sarah Brightman, launched Bocelli to international stardom almost three decades ago, and has since garnered hundreds of millions of streams.
When asked what it was like to duet with such globally-renowned talents over the years, Andrea Bocelli replied: “To mix voices, mix the vibrations, is for me a very exciting experience, sensual and spiritual at the same time. Something intimate and deep is established between the two voices that sing a duet. We singers are in constant search of colleagues able to give life to this alchemy.”
