Matteo Bocelli has announced his new album, *Falling in Love*, set to release on September 12 via Decca Records. This will be the Italian singer’s second album, blending classical music with modern pop and themes of romance.
*Falling in Love* was recorded in Bocelli’s hometown of Tuscany with producer Martin Terefe, known for working with Shawn Mendes and Jason Mraz. Bocelli co-wrote all the original songs, teaming up with talented songwriters like Toby Gad, Iain Archer, and Johan Carlsson.
The lead single from the album is “Mi Historia Entre Tus Dedosi,” a duet with the legendary Italian artist Gianluca Grignani. This new version of Grignani’s 1995 hit pays tribute to Bocelli’s Italian roots and connects two generations of music. Earlier this year, Bocelli reached out to Grignani to ask for permission to record the song, which has been covered many times but never as a duet. They performed it live for the first time last month at the Teatro del Silenzio in Tuscany, a venue founded by Bocelli’s father, Andrea Bocelli.
Gianluca Grignani praised Matteo, saying, “This kid has a truth in his voice. A talent that can’t be taught.”
Bocelli will also embark on a *Falling in Love* world tour, starting in New York City at The Gramercy Theatre on September 11. The tour includes 14 dates across the U.S., with a stop in Los Angeles on September 16.
