Il Divo

One day DH and I were watching Oprah, and she was introducing a world-famous music group that we had never heard of. I don’t even remember what the group sang, but all I remember were the beautiful voices and how the music just resonated with me. Who was the group? Il Divo. Therefore you can imagine how excited I was when the One2One Network provided the opportunity to review Il Divo The Promise Luxury Edition and Il Divo The Christmas Collection CDs.

Il Divo “were initially brought together by pop impresario Simon Cowell in 2004, following an extensive worldwide audition process. The virtuoso blending of operatic technique with romantic and popular song took the world by storm, with sales of over 22 million. Their first three albums, 'Il Divo', 'Ancora' and 'Siempre' scored 36 number 1 chart positions across 26 countries.”

The music of Il Divo has an opera influence, and even though I’m not much of an opera fan, I can’t help but be captivated when I listen to their music. The Promise Luxury Edition has beautiful tracks. Although I don’t understand some of the language (Italian and Spanish), it doesn’t matter, because the songs just evoke feelings of romance and harmony.

Il Divo The Christmas Collection features many classic Christmas songs, and again, they are just beautifully sung. Listening to the CD really got me into the holiday spirit and I'll definitely be playing this CD very often this holiday season.
