Matteo Bocelli’s Falling In Love is a sweeping, heartfelt second album that blends his Italian heritage, modern pop balladry, and unmistakable warmth into a sound that is entirely his own.
Matteo Bocelli’s second album, Falling In Love, finds him stepping into his own light with the weight of history behind him and the promise of a new era ahead. More than just Andrea Bocelli’s son, Matteo has grown into an artist who pairs the heart of a poet with the polish of a global pop star.
The album is steeped in themes of romance, vulnerability, and identity. It features the stirring single "To Get To Love You," co-written with Grammy winner Amy Wadge, which builds on cinematic emotion by weaving in a sample from the 1968 French film La Leçon Particulière. Other highlights include "Amnesia d’amore" and "If I Can’t Have You," songs that balance sweeping balladry with modern pop sensibilities.
Matteo’s journey has not been without pressure. Carrying the Bocelli name means carrying an expectation few could shoulder, but he has chosen to embrace it. “Being a Bocelli is both a privilege and a responsibility,” he says. “I’ve never wanted to run from my father’s incredible legacy but I do want people to hear my voice, my emotions and my version of love.” On Falling In Love, that intent is clear. Matteo co-wrote each track with some of today’s most acclaimed songwriters, including Toby Gad, Martin Terefe, Iain Archer, Johan Carlsson, and Amy Wadge. He also showcases his own musicianship at the piano, weaving classical grace into contemporary pop.
His 2023 single "Chasing Stars," written with Ed Sheeran, first pushed him onto the world stage, and Falling In Love expands on that moment with an even stronger artistic identity. Beyond music, Matteo’s charm and charisma have made him a fixture in fashion and film, with appearances in Guess campaigns, acting alongside Idris Elba, and even lending his voice to The Simpsons Christmas special.
The Bocelli name carries a certain aura, tied as much to Italian culture as to music. Matteo leans into that heritage, often inviting collaborators to his Tuscan home, where afternoons of homemade pasta and garden-fresh ingredients create the same atmosphere of warmth and honesty that shapes his songs.
With Falling In Love, Matteo Bocelli proves he is more than a name. He is carving a space all his own, blending old-world romance with contemporary sophistication, ready to connect with audiences across generations.
