Cinema is the fifteenth studio album by Italian classical tenor recording artist Andrea Bocelli.

The album featuring renditions of classic film soundtracks and scores,[3] was released on October 23, 2015 through Sugar Music and Universal Music Group.[4]

Background

The album was produced by David Foster, Humberto Gatica, and Tony Renis who also worked together on Bocelli's Amore in 2006.[5]

Bocelli said of Cinema: "With the album ‘Cinema,’ I’m fulfilling a wish that I’ve harboured 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."[6]

Commercial performance

Cinema entered the Official UK Albums Chart at No. 3, behind 5 Seconds of Summer's Sounds Good Feels Good and Bryan Adams's Get Up!.[7] The tally was Bocelli's highest UK chart position in over a decade, since 2001’s Cieli di Toscana, and his tenth Top 10 album on the UK pop charts, a record for a classical music artist.[7][8]

The album also debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200, with 30,000 units sold, marking his eighth Top 10 effort.[9] In addition, the album topped the Classical Crossover Albums chart, making Cinema Bocelli's 11th No. 1, and extending his record for the most chart-topping albums among all artists on that chart.[9]

PBS special

Cinema was also made into a PBS special, filmed September 18, 2015, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.[10]

The program will begin airing on THIRTEEN's Great Performances series on November 27, on PBS stations nationwide, featuring Bocelli and Foster with additional guests including Nicole Scherzinger, as well as film stars John Travolta, Ali McGraw, Ryan O’Neal and Andy Garcia.[10][11]

Singles

"E Più Ti Penso", a song written by Italian composer Ennio Morricone from the movie Once Upon a Time in America, was re-recorded as a duet between Bocelli and American singer Ariana Grande.[12] The song debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Digital Songs chart.[13] A music video for the song was released on October 13, 2015.[14]
