Andrea Bocelli Announces New Album 'Believe' & Release Date

The announcement comes just months after Bocelli's moving Music for Hope Easter performance from the historic Duomo cathedral in Milan. The special reached more than 2.8 million peak concurrent viewers, marking it one of the biggest musical live stream performances of all-time, Decca reports.

Believe,  co-produced by Steven Mercurio and Haydn Bendall, is a collection of uplifting songs that have inspired Bocelli throughout his life, and includes  two duets with leading opera singer Cecilia Bartoli, and one with  Alison Krauss, on "Amazing Grace."

Bocelli has composed his own renditions of "Ave Maria" and "Padre Nostro" for the album. “I don’t consider myself to be a composer, however, I am a musician, and sometimes melodies come to my mind, with essentially complete harmonies," he said. "Music that knocks on the door of my soul and which I gladly welcome and then set free by putting pen to paper."
