Passione

[ Syco Music / CD ]

Release Date: Tuesday, 14 April, 2009

After the worldwide success of his first album, 'One Chance', Paul Potts presents the classic 'Passione', which includes a duet performance with NZ's own Hayley Westenra, on the song "Sei Con Me (There For Me)".

Paul's meteoric rise to fame from a humble, self-deprecating phone salesman has touched the hearts of millions. His debut album 'One Chance' has sold over three and a half million albums worldwide, storming to the top of the charts in 13 countries and notching up an astounding 27 platinum records, including 3 x platinum sales here in NZ. In the UK it outsold the entire top 10 collectively in its first week! It was followed by a stirring world tour with over 100 sell out shows and performances in national theatres and arenas that cemented Paul's success. This momentous success led to him being presented in Germany with a plaque for selling one million albums and he recently won the prestigious Echo award for Best International Male Artist. He became a YouTube Superstar and to date has had over 74 million hits watching his voyage from the first audition to winning Britain's Got Talent.

Hot on the heels of that triumph and with his undeniable talent, unmistakable voice and zeal for music comes 'Passione'. Overflowing with his passionate, inimitable style; Paul is set to touch more hearts with his enchanting voice.

This stunning album has been almost a year in the making with Paul working with an array of world class producers, composers and European orchestras. He returns with a new found confidence and vigour that leaves no doubt as to his incredible talent. 'Passione' is overflowing with Paul's passionate and inimitable style. The album includes a mixture of original recordings, along with show stoppers including the haunting "La Prima Volta (The first Time I saw your Face)", "Un Giorno Per Moi (A Time For Us)", "Senza Luce (A Whiter Shade of Pale)" and "Memory", the ageless classic written and composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
