IL VOLO Released their 2nd Studio Album “WE AR
LOVE” May 28, 2013 in the USA, originally released fall of 2012. The hot talented tenor trio has adapted their operatic roots to a pop album, but no worries they still sound fantastic! The beautiful harmonies are powerful and
pleasing to the ear. Previously reviewed album one at http://tunedin4u.blogspot.com/2012/11/il-volo-3-tenors.html
allmusic Review by: James
Christopher Monger
“Recorded in Los Angeles and Rome under the watch of Grammy-winning
co-producer Humberto Gatica and Tony Renis, the second studio album from dreamy teenage
tenors Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble, better known as Il Volo, begins appropriately with a sweeping rendition
of the Dianne Warren/Aerosmith power ballad "Questo
Amore [I Don't Want to Miss a Thing]," dutifully extending the already
lengthy 21st century bridge between commercial pop and classical. The trio,
which first turned heads on the popular Italian talent show Ti Lascio una Canzone, brings an excitable, youthful bravado to the
12-track We Are Love's more pop-oriented offerings like Warren's newly written "I Bring You to My
Senses," U2's "Beautiful Day," and the Mark Portmann-penned title cut, the latter two of which are the
only songs sung in English. The more traditional, operatic/classically minded
pieces, while seamless, soaring, and impossibly pretty in all the right places,
lack the gravitas to truly make the listener swoon, a notion that's lent
further weight when the great Placido Domingo steps in halfway through
"Il Canto" and effectively steals the show”.
I’m sure we will be hearing from these guys for ages to
come, as a trio or as single artists, they will infinitely live on.
