Andrea Bocelli’s “Cinema” #Music #Review

On October 23, Verve Records  released Andrea Bocelli’s “Cinema” - a collection of interpretations of songs from classic movies like West Side Story, The Godfather and Gladiator - performed by the world’s most popular operatic tenor.

 I participated in the Andrea Bocelli “Cinema” album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided an album to review but all opinions are 100% my own.

`

I don't really consider myself a HUGE movie buff, but I can appreciate great scores even if the movies don't grab me. This Album doesn't disappoint!

Bocelli said the following: “With the album ‘Cinema,’ I’m fulfilling a wish that I’ve harbored for decades. I’ve never made a secret of my dream of bringing to life a recording project associated with soundtracks, as I truly believe that it’s an exceptional artistic treasure trove."

Here is the Cinema Track Listing: 

1) MARIA from ‘West Side Story’  

2) LA CHANSON DE LARA from ‘Doctor Zhivago’

3) MOON RIVER from ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’  

4) E PIU' TI PENSO duet with Ariana Grande from ‘Once Upon a Time in America /Malèna’

5) BE MY LOVE from ‘The Toast of New Orleans’

6) THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT from ‘The Phantom of the Opera’

7) BRUCIA LA TERRA from ‘The Godfather’

8) POR UNA CABEZA from ‘Scent of a Woman’

9) NO LLORES POR MÍ ARGENTINA duet with Nicole Scherzinger from ‘Evita’

10) L'AMORE È UNA COSA MERAVIGLIOSA from ‘Love is a many splendored thing’

11) MI MANCHERAI from ‘Il Postino’

12) CHEEK TO CHEEK duet with Veronica Berti from ‘Top Hat’

13) SORRIDI AMORE VAI from ‘La vita è bella’  

14) HISTORIA DE AMOR from ‘Love Story’

15) OL' MAN RIVER from ‘Show Boat’

16) NELLE TUE MANI (NOW WE ARE FREE) from ‘Gladiator’

Just looking over the track list I saw a few I know I would 

enjoy-THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT and MOON RIVER are among

the top of my favorite movies songs.

CHEEK TO CHEEK I must have listened to about 30x's a day LOVED IT! Also the Duet with Nicole Scherzinger on NO LLORES POR MÍ ARGENTINA was enchanting!

Music #Review NEW MUSIC FROM MARY LAMBERT:#HeartOnMySleeve

I am so very excited to bring you the music and story of Mary Lambert. You may know Mary from her vocals on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ “Same Love”
  Her hit “Secrets” is climbing the pop charts. I love her confidence and wit.

 The title song is very catchy many of the others are just as great-Her rendition of Jessie's Girls will touch your soul!!

“Having an actual platform made me think about my motivations and what I want to put out into the world,” Lambert says about creating the songs that appear on her debut full-length album, Heart On My Sleeve. “So I made a list of goals.” They were to: 1. Have fun. 2. Create something catchy. 3. Create something that positively impacts the world. 4. Stay true to yourself. 5. Make money. “Is that okay to say?” she asks. “I want to buy my mom a house. I want to start a charity that offers free mental health treatment. I want to tip brunch waitresses hundred dollar bills! But in all seriousness, I wanted to write a pop album that had profound emotional depth and interesting language, while being accessible and catchy,” she explains. “I wanted the songs to be poignant and raw, but I want to hear them on the radio. I like to describe Heart On My Sleeve as a pop album with a conscience.

Here's the track list

1. Secrets
2. So Far Away
3. Ribcage (feat. Angel Haze & K.Flay)
4. Dear One
5. When You Sleep
6. Chasing the Moon
7. Jessie’s Girl
8. Monochromatic
9. Heart On My Sleeve
10. Wounded Animal
11. Sum of Our Parts

Take a look at the Secrets video.

If you have a music lover in your home buy them this CD TODAY!!! You can order it here  on iTunes and Amazon
