Il Volo - Italian teenage singing sensations Il Volo will release their second album "We Are Love" on November l9. Recorded in Los Angeles and Rome, the new CD includes guest appearances by Placido Domingo and Eros Ramazzotti and features a soaring version of the Aerosmith/ Diane Warren hit "I Don't Want to Miss A Thing" ("Questo Amore") along with a new Warren song "I Bring You To My Senses." Il Volo also performs a cover version of the U2 Hit "Beautiful Day" and the title cut "We Are Love" both in English. Il Volo is currently touring as special guests on the Barbra Streisand Tour. The trio's live performances have received standing ovations across the US and critical acclaim. Their debut album sold one million copies, and their PBS special "Il Volo - Live From The Detroit Opera House" has been one of the highest rated shows in PBS history. "Il Volo" means flight in Italian - and it turned out to be the perfect name for a trio of teen tenors who have been soaring to new heights. The group's members are Piero Barone (19), Gianluca Ginoble (17) and Ignazio Boschetto (18.)

Looking forward to their new album. Have heard previews of it & it sounds terrific. I especially liked I Bring You to My Senses & We Are Love. Good picture of these young men. Ignazio has changed so much & is now so slender & the most handsome member of the group.
