Il Divo – The Promise

by

I’ve been a fan of Il Divo for years now. I remember hearing them for the first time when they were introduced by Simon Cowell on the Oprah show, back in 2005. They have since had tremendous success, having scored 36 No. 1 chart positions across 26 countries, with sales of over 22 million copies – and that’s just including their first three albums! I love how they blend opera and pop. It’s such a unique technique that I haven’t seen done by anyone else. And it doesn’t hurt that the foursome is nice to look at!

Il Divo’s newest album hit stores two weeks ago. The Promise features over twelve captivating songs in English, Italian and Spanish. My favorites are the ones in Spanish – specifically The Winner Takes All, The Power of Love, Hallelujah, and Angelina. You can listen to samples here. I’ve been humming Hallelujah all day!

If you’re looking for seasonal music, Il Divo: The Christmas Collection is a wonderful album. I love their versions of holiday classics, like Ave Maria, White Christmas, and Silent Night.

Il Divo will be going on tour next year! Only a few stops have been confirmed, but check here often as more dates are added. I can tell you that they’ll be coming to DC in May! Going to their concert might just be the perfect birthday present for… myself.

  14. Right now I’m listening to Christmas music (Mormon Tabernalce Choir and Sesil). I would love to win IL Divo. I love their version of Amazing Grace!

  15. Right now I am enjoying the peace and quiet. My littlest one has double ear infections and the only thing she wanted to listen to was The Chipmunks and Sesame Street…all day long! While it kept her quiet, it gave Mommy a headache! Il Divo would certainly go a long way toward soothing said headache.

  19. I love Il Divo, but I don’t own anything by them yet. I’m not listening to anything right now, probably because hubby is asleep on the couch. Otherwise it’s the christmas music season and we have the player loaded with different christmas music to rotate.
