This collaboration between the Sicilian classical singer and the American country pop star offers a warm, sincere, and straightforward interpretation of the beloved song.

The album includes duets with vocalists such as Ed Sheeran, Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Giorgia, Christina Aguilera, Ariana Grande, Virginia Bocelli, and Luciano Pavarotti, alongside some earlier recordings. Bocelli expressed his enthusiasm for the project, describing singing duets as an intimate and profound experience that blends sensual and spiritual elements.
“To mix voices, mix the vibrations, is for me a very exciting experience, sensual and spiritual at the same time,” Andrea remarked in a statement about Duets. “Something intimate and deep is established between the two voices that sing a duet. We singers are in constant search of colleagues able to give life to this alchemy.”
