With his eagerly-anticipated second album, Falling in Love, released September 12th, (pre-order/pre-save here) Matteo Bocelli steps confidently into the spotlight as the next generation artist, with the heart of a poet and the reach of a global pop star.
That next generation is more than just a title: When your father is the legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli – the voice that has wowed the world for over three decades – forging your path isn’t just a career move for his son Matteo – it’s a birthright, a burden, and a generational breakthrough which has taken him from heir to innovator.
Today, Matteo Bocelli also shares the deeply moving new single To Get To Love You. Co-written with Grammy-winning songwriter Amy Wadge, this heart-wrenching ballad weaves in a sample from the iconic 1968 Michel Boisrond film La Leçon Particulière, adding cinematic depth to its timeless emotion.
It’s a powerful statement from an artist who is more than a famous surname. This story isn’t just a son riding coattails – it’s a star carving his own path while evolving his rich heritage. Like Enrique Iglesias brought his father Julio’s Latin passion to global pop in the early 2000’s, Matteo is poised to launch his own unique niche of sensual and emotive music that transcends time and trends.
Falling In Love is an album rich in romantic yearning and vulnerability, with passionate showpieces like Amnesia d’amore and the cinematic, emotionally-charged pop ballad entitled If I Can’t Have You. Every track combines a power of classical tradition with modern storytelling.
His sound draws from a rich tapestry of influences, not least pop superstar Ed Sheeran. Their collaboration on Chasing Stars- the solo single that launched Matteo into global recognition in 2023.
