On September 22, 2023, Matteo Bocelli releases “I’m Here,” another single from his debut album “Matteo.”
Two years after becoming well-known with his first “solo” single and five years after his first hit, “Fall on Me,” with his father Andrea Bocelli, Matteo Bocelli now launches his debut album, “Matteo,” which is anticipated to be released by Capitol Records.
The 12 songs on the disc are performed in English and Italian, all written and produced with important collaborators, among others, with Ed & Matthew Sheeran, PARISI (Ed Sheeran, Fred Again), Jesse Shatkin (Miley Cyrus, Sia, Kelly Clarkson) and Stuart Crichton (Kesha, Backstreet Boys, Louis Tomlinson). The German version of the album also contains two bonus-tracks written by No.1 producer Christian Geller (Giovanni Zarrella, No Angels).
He also collaborated with Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum composer, producer and musician Tom Holkenborg on the song “Cautionary Tale” for the film “Three Thousand Years of Longing”, in which Matteo also made his feature film debut in 2022. Recently recorded the main theme, “Anime Imperfette”, for the Netflix series, “From Scratch”.

To celebrate the release, Bocelli shared the official music video for “I’m Here,” a beautiful piano ballad that highlights the importance of building relationships with other people — even when doing so can be painful.
“‘I’m Here’ is a very powerful thing to say,” notes Bocelli. “I think it’s beautiful when someone tells you ‘I’m here whenever you need me’—whether you want to share something happy with me or you’re feeling down and need time to express your feelings. Life is beautiful when you can help someone.”
