Following the runaway success of their first album together, ‘A Family Christmas’ – which is already hitting No.1 spots globally – The Bocelli Family have revealed a brand new single, recorded with the one of the most innovative, inventive, and inimitable vocal groups of all time, Pentatonix. This major collaboration, and first time working together, has been a long time coming for the two pioneering powerhouses. The result is an inspiring new version of the festive classic ‘Do You Hear What I Hear?’, released on Decca Records.
Andrea, Matteo & Virginia Bocelli:
“We feel our collaboration with the amazing Pentatonix on this classic track instantly brings to life the spirit of Christmas. Hopefully this beautiful song helps to spread some holiday magic to many families around the world.”
The striking arrangement of ‘Do You Hear What I Hear?’ (which was originally written in 1962) presents a modern take on the Christmas favourite, while retaining its holiday magic. Known and admired for their distinctive and impeccable harmonies, Pentatonix bring further colour and depth to the track, complementing the Bocelli’s voices perfectly.
Having already released chart-topping Christmas albums, hosted their own Christmas TV Specials and featured on favourite Christmas films, it is entirely fitting that the world-renowned a cappella group have been chosen for this exciting collaboration.
Pentatonix reimagine, reinvigorate, and redefine a cappella. Since emerging in 2011 the vocal quintet have reached unprecedented heights, selling 10 million albums worldwide, generating billions of streams and toppling charts with a catalogue boasting back-to-back #1 albums.
The release of this much-loved tune comes as the Bocelli family’s Christmas album, which is flying high in the album charts, becomes the soundtrack to family Christmases across the globe, and will be for years to come. It is currently the biggest-selling Christmas album stateside, and has been for the last five weeks, and is also at No.4 here in the UK.
