With his sophomore album, Falling in Love, released on Decca Records, Matteo steps confidently into the spotlight as the next generation artist, with the heart of a poet and the reach of a global pop star.
This November, Matteo brings his unique blend of tradition and charm back to the UK with three intimate shows. Following the global success of his debut tour – which sold out iconic venues like the Sydney Opera House – he will also tour globally this Autumn.
Having performed for King Charles III, President Biden, and opened for Lionel Richie, Matteo will perform three shows in the UK in Manchester (Nov 2), Birmingham (Nov 4), and London (Nov 5).
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.
Matteo co-wrote all the original songs with acclaimed writers including Amy Wadge (Ed Sheeran), Toby Gad (Beyoncé, John Legend), Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, James Morrison), Iain Archer (Snow Patrol, Jake Bugg), and Johan Carlsson (Ariana Grande, Maroon 5). As well as singing, Matteo plays piano, showcasing his musicianship throughout the album.
While the world sees him as a singer, Matteo’s cross-medium talents have seen him also star in a Guess fashion campaign, act alongside Idris Elba, and even appear with his family in The Simpsons’ festive special Feliz Navidad.
This is Matteo Bocelli – the multi-skilled artist, the down-to-earth yet romantic dreamer, the heir to a timeless tradition. Like Shawn Mendes stepping onto a global stage, or Enrique Iglesias redefining romance for a generation, Matteo is set to become a universal favourite – a modern icon with an old soul, a bridge between old-world passion and new-world sophistication.
