Andrea Bocelli: Passione - an album guide
The Italian tenor is back again - after last year's stellar Opera album, Andrea Bocelli is about to set hearts aflutter with 'Passione', an album of romantic classics inspired by Bocelli's early days, singing requests in bars. It includes duets with artists like Jennifer Lopez and Edith Nelly Furtado, as well as a virtual duet with Edith Piaf.
Perfidia
To say that romance is a key theme on Passione would be something of an understatement, so Bocelli kicks off with this free-sounding little jazz number. Not only has it been covered by an incredible list of jazz greats (Charlie Parker, Glenn Miller, King Tubby and more), it's also featured heavily in the classic movie Casablanca.
