Karol G surprises with Andrea Bocelli in “Vivo por Ella”

Karol G happily accepted Andrea Bocelli’s invitation to participate in their next album. And that makes no more and no less than with a new version of “Vivo por Ella”, one of the most iconic Italian songs.

“Vivo per lei” (as it was originally called in Italian) propelled Andrea Bocelli to success in many countries when it was released in 1995. It topped the charts in France, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and Panama and became one of the tenor’s most listened to songs. The Spanish version, “Vivo por ella”, was originally sung with Marta Sánchez and was also a great success.

This new edition will be part of Bocelli’s upcoming album, “Duets,” which will be released on October 25 to celebrate his 30th musical anniversary.

“This song holds a very special place in my heart, and it’s a great honor to reimagine it with one of the most talented and exciting artists in the world. His beautiful voice helps create a timeless celebration of love and music that will find new fans and resonate across generations,” said Bocelli.

While Karol G added: “I discovered Andrea when I was a teenager. I was very connected to his music, the power of his voice and his unique way of creating music. This song is a great honor for me; it’s a song that I’ve always loved, and when they invited me to sing “Vivo por Ella”, I felt like I was coming home. “It’s a song that I really feel inside of me, and I feel like it’s going to be a special moment in my career.”

“Duets”, meanwhile, will bring together several of Bocelli’s most beloved collaborations as well as new songs to mark his 30th anniversary.

This career-spanning 32-track collection features duets with Ed Sheeran, Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Giorgia and Luciano Pavarotti, plus stellar new duets recorded especially for the album with Shania Twain, Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, Marc Anthony, Sofia Carson, Lauren Daigle, Elisa, Matteo Bocelli and Hans Zimmer.
