Matteo Bocelli shares the stirring new single, Fasi, which features on his imminent debut album, ‘Matteo’, due 22nd September via Capitol Records.
On the piano-driven anthem, the 25-year-old singer/songwriter captures the emotional upheaval that comes with the ever-changing phases of life. It comes with a suitably raw music video that showcases the young artist’s towering charisma and showmanship.
“And I find myself thinking that in a sea of people you can’t find yourself anymore,” Bocelli beautifully sings in Italian as he comes to grips with his inner turmoil. The breakout star then pulls the vocal trigger on the chorus. “All memories are like salt that splits my skin, teach me to fall so no one takes from all the fears and all the beautiful things," he belts over piano chords. "You can only learn if you fall.” Written by Matteo along with the multi-platinum hitmakers Davide Petrella and Katoo, and produced by Canova, the searing track is a testament to the artist's innate ability to express complex emotions.
In the video, Bocelli is depicted in a series of solitary, introspective places: before a piano, running through a field, shaving his beard, sitting on a bed as feathers rain down on him. The lonesome atmosphere drives home the phases the song attempts to grapple with.
Fasi follows the release of the infectious track For You and the Ed and Matthew Sheeran-written ballad Chasing Stars.After a number of sold-out headlining shows in California this summer, the crooner will be launching his first-ever world tour on September 30 in Berlin, Germany. He will be visiting 10 countries across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East in promotion of his highly anticipated debut album, ‘Matteo’.
The son of Andrea Bocelli, Matteo began piano lessons at a young age while surrounded by the music industry. He made his debut live performance at age 18 at Rome’s Colosseum. Now, with momentum building and tracks like "Fasi" in his repertoire, Matteo is destined to leave his own mark on the music world.
