8 September, 2023: Today, Matteo Bocelli shares the stirring new single, “Fasi,” which features on his imminent debut album, Matteo, due September 22. 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.

The film shows Bocelli in a variety of solitary, reflective settings, including in front of a piano, while running across a field, shaving his beard, and while laying on a bed as feathers fall on him. The song's phases are made more poignant by the mood of loneliness.

Matteo Bocelli, the son of Andrea Bocelli, started taking piano lessons at an early age while growing up in the music business. At the age of 18, he made his live debut at Rome's Colosseum. With his current momentum and songs like "Fasi" in his catalog, Matteo is set to make his own impact on the music industry.

"Fasi" was released after the catchy song "For You" and the ballad "Chasing Stars," both of which were written by Ed and Matthew Sheeran. The crooner will begin his first-ever world tour on September 30 in Berlin, Germany, following a handful of sold-out headlining performances in California this summer. In order to promote his eagerly awaited debut album, Matteo, he will travel to ten different nations in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. Tickets can be purchased at matteobocelli.it. Below are all of the tour dates.

Los Angeles, LA, September 8, 2023: Today, 18-year-old artist d4vd releases The Lost Petals EP via The Darkroom/Interscope (LISTEN HERE). He couples the project with a new animated video for his song “Rehab” (WATCH HERE).

Following the release of his debut EP, Petals To Thorns, a magnificent nine-track effort with breakout songs like grungy, guitar-driven breakup anthem RIAA Multi-Platinum "Romantic Homicide," and RIAA Platinum "Here With Me," d4vd follows up with The Lost Petals. The five-song collection fits into the world of Petals to Thorns and continues the concept. These songs represent a comparable period in d4vd's creative process that he wishes to share with listeners before moving on to his next musical phase. He first teased the EP with the release of "Notes From A Wrist," a song dedicated to a buddy who suffered from mental illness (WATCH HERE / LISTEN HERE). Overall, The Lost Petals provides a more personal and stripped-down look at d4vd's talent than previous releases.

  1. Notes From A Wrist

  2. Hollow Prayers

  3. Rehab

  4. Poetic Vulgarity

  5. Once More
