Editorial Reviews:
'Amor & Pasioin' is the new album from Il Divo, the original and still the best classical cross over group in the world. Il Divo have recorded a body of work spanning a century of traditional tangos, smoldering boleros and classic mambas. The album was made with Columbian producer and multiple Latin Grammy winner Julio Reyes Copello.
'Amor & Pasion' hails from Spain and Cuba, and from Central and South America. The flavors and sultry rhythms of Spain and Cuba, Argentina and Mexico give a nod to the quartet's beginnings, while also marking an exciting new chapter in their career. 'Amor & Pasion' is an album full of love and romance. The tracks that make up the album are mostly familiar hits such as Julio Iglesias' iconic A Las Mujeres Que Yo Ame (To All the Girls I've Loved Before) and Gloria Estefan's resonant Si Voy A Perderte (Don't Wanna Lose You), along with Himno De La Alegria, an exciting Latin treatment of Beethoven's Ode To Joy and one of the most classic tangos of all time, Por Una Cabeza which was written in 1935 and was used in both Schindler's List and the Al Pacino film 'Scent Of A Woman'.
Il Divo spearheaded an entirely new musical genre with their groundbreaking debut album in 2004. The multi national four piece group have gone on to achieve unparalleled success around the world with 30 millions album sales, 50 # 1 Records, and 160 gold and platinum awards in over 33 countries and four sold out world tours.
'Amor & Pasion' is Il Divo's seventh studio album and their most ambitious yet.

About the Group:
Il Divo is a multi-national classical crossover vocal group. The male quartet originated in the United Kingdom in December 2003, bringing together singers Urs Bühler (Switzerland), Carlos Marín (Spain), David Miller (USA), and Sébastien Izambard (France). The group was created and promoted by music producer Simon Cowell for the label Syco Music (a subsidiary of Sony Music). Although it is unclear how the group's name came about, "Il Divo" is translated from Italian as "divine performer."
As of 2018, the group has released ten albums: Il Divo (2004), Ancora (2005), Siempre (2006), The Promise (2008), Wicked Game (2011), A Musical Affair (2013), Amor & Pasión (2015) and Timeless (2018) ; a compilation album The Greatest Hits (2012); special Christmas songs album The Christmas Collection (2005). Two other albums – An Evening with Il Divo: Live in Barcelona (2009) and Live in Japan (2014) – presented recordings of live concerts. Additionally, they have collaborated with other artists.
Since its inception, Il Divo has enjoyed success worldwide, selling well over 30 million copies of its albums worldwide. With 160 certified gold and platinum hits in 35 countries, it pioneered the genre of operatic pop, or "popera", in classical crossover music.
Il Divo's live concerts sold over two million concert tickets worldwide just from their first four albums. In their first world tour, concerts in 69 cities in 18 countries were sold out.
