Andrea and Matteo Bocelli have teamed up with legendary composer Hans Zimmer for a new version of “Time To Say Goodbye,” which debuted during the ‘In Memoriam’ section of last night’s Academy Awards.
The track finds Andrea and Matteo Bocelli reunited on record following their hugely successful holiday album, A Family Christmas, and, prior to that, their poignant duet “Fall On Me.” Hans Zimmer’s unique compositional style creates an epic soundscape for the new track and completely transforms Bocelli’s much-loved hit, whilst maintaining its rousing musical core and powerful vocals.
The new track, which arrives with a music video and was released through Decca Records, marks the start of Andrea Bocelli’s 30th anniversary year.
Last year, Entertainment One announced a new documentary on legendary singer. The film, set to be called Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe, is currently being filmed in Italy and the US and will be released this year.
Directed by Cosima Spender, the movie will reportedly go behind the scenes of Bocelli’s personal life and work, including never-before-seen looks at his story and off-the-stage moments with his family and friends. Bocelli and his wife Veronica Bocelli will serve as executive producers alongside Scott Rodger, Francesco Pasquero, and eOne’s Tara Long, Malcolm Gerrie, Matt Pritchard, and Geno McDermott.
