Capitol Records released acclaimed singer/songwriter Matteo Bocelli\u2019s debut solo single, aptly entitled \u201cSolo.\u201d Over lush orchestral arrangements, delicate piano played by Matteo himself, and the vivid neons of modern pop production from GRAMMY\xae winner Jesse Shaktin, he sings passionately and clearly about lost romance, forging a new path and the void felt when a loved one is just out of reach. \u201cMissing you with every breath I take,\u201d he sings. \u201cWishing you were with me when I wake.\u201d Matteo wrote the song with Fiona Bevan and Marco Guazzone. Download / stream \u201cSolo\u201d HERE.

The accompanying video, which was also released today, is rich with symbolism and the natural beauty of the majestic Dolomites mountains, located in northeast Italy. It was directed by Gaetano Morbioli, who also helmed the official video for \u201cFall On Me,\u201d a duet that paired Matteo with his father, opera legend Andrea Bocelli.

Matteo Bocelli, who is graduating at the Conservatory of Lucca in Tuscany, says, \u201cOver the past three years, Capitol Records has given me a rare opportunity \u2013 to have time, to study, to write new music, to rehearse \u2013 and I'm really proud to be able to release this first song.\u201d
Much of the world first heard Matteo on \u201cFall on Me,\u201d the English/Italian song that he co-wrote for the elder Bocelli\u2019s acclaimed 2018 album, S\xec, which topped the Billboard 200 and the UK Official Albums chart. The song, which has amassed nearly 300 million combined global streams, went on to soundtrack Disney\u2019s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. The pair performed \u201cFall on Me\u201d at Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl as well as on numerous television programs, including \u201cDancing with the Stars,\u201d Colbert, \u201cGood Morning America,\u201d \u201cRoyal Family Variety Performance\u201d and \u201cStrictly Come Dancing.\u201d It was a powerful introduction, yet Matteo\u2019s musical journey began when he was a child.

By age six, he was learning piano, and at 18 he debuted on stage to sing Verdi at the Rome Colosseum. He\u2019s worked his whole life to master his craft. But the melodies that emerge whenever the young man opens his mouth feel real in a way that can\u2019t be explained by a classical education. He sings with a purity of expression that seems innate, with charisma and clarity of purpose.
