(...) “India is a place I have always been curious about and when my management team said there could be an opportunity to do something with an Indian artist and Universal India I was super excited. I have really enjoyed working with artists from other cultures and musical backgrounds already, so coming to India felt like an amazing next step. I have wanted to visit for a very long time and now I have the best reason to come here,” says Matteo. He adds that working with Amaal, Sukriti and Prakriti has been an amazing experience. “We had a lot of fun working on the track - they are incredible people with a great team behind them, and I have really enjoyed looking at music from a non-western perspective. I am obsessed with the technical side of how songs are put together, so this has been such a great experience for me,” shares the singer. (...) Matteo says that he has seen a couple of Bollywood films when he was younger. “I love the vibrancy of them. They are so rich and vivid in colour. I definitely would like one day to be part of one production. Tradition is very important to me, growing up around classical music, so I really respect the tradition that Bollywood movies represent,” he informs. (...) “Mumbai is simply incredible, rich in history, beautiful people, and incredible places. Trying new cuisines is one of my favourite things to do when I travel. I have really enjoyed Indian food in Italy, so I am very excited to try the real authentic thing here,” Matteo concludes'.

Aggiornamento del 31 marzo 2022 - Oggi Pinkvilla ha pubblicato l'articolo Amaal Mallik feels Matteo Bocelli can sing for Akshay Kumar: ‘His voice has a beautiful baritone’, di Avinash Lohana. Di seguito un estratto: 'Amaal [Mallik] opens up on this exciting collaboration. “It's the coming together of two worlds, countries and cultures, India and Italy. Matteo is a very sweet, talented and humble musician who belongs to a lustrous family and is Andrea Bocelli's son. (...) Somewhat I find the innocence of my music, and the innocence in his voice makes a great blend together. This is something that Universal Music India brought about as a project. Matteo was looking to do something related to Indian music and collaborate with Indian artists which is like a beautiful crossover and that's why we did it. (...) I met Matteo and told him how influential his father's music is to the world. Budding musicians in our country, everyone knows and everyone resonates with the music Andrea Bocelli does. I respect him and his family, and I really like the fact that he is very humble and down to earth considering he comes from such a beautiful legacy of musicians,” shares Amaal. If he had to get Matteo do playback for a Bollywood actor, who would it be? “I think we would obviously need someone young because his voice has a very beautiful baritone. Maybe he would be a good voice for Akshay Kumar,” Amaal concludes'.
