WITH over 30 million albums sold, earning them 160 gold and platinum albums in 33 countries, Il Divo is still going strong after 15 years in the business – and they're set to wow fans on Oct 7, 8.30pm, at the Genting Arena of Stars, Resorts World Genting.
The tenor powerhouse group, comprising Urs Bühler (Switzerland), Sébastien Izambard (France), Carlos Marín (Spain) and David Miller (USA), will be showcasing their seventh album, Timeless, on this leg of their world tour.
Sébastien Izambard will also be performing a solo song from his solo album, We Came Here To Love.
“We are very excited and thankful to be playing for Malaysians in the upcoming concert," the Frenchman said.
"We are very grateful for the love and loyalty we receive as ours travelling around the world wouldn’t happen without their support.”
Izambard said their album Timeless incorporates songs from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s.
"The four of us self-produced our record and each of us definitely brings something different. The dynamic of the group has definitely changed from when we first debuted as we have started being our own managers.
"We’ve done a lot of things ourselves from shooting the video, and we’ve received a lot of empowerment through our music," he said.
Asked about the secret to maintaining a good voice, Izambard said: “Rather than having a good voice, I think it’s more important to have a good soul. I believe that having a good voice is singing with the heart rather than with the mind.”
Il Divo is well-known for having pioneered the genre of operatic pop, or "popera", in classical crossover music. The quartet's strength is its ability to blend operatically-trained vocals and classical music with themes from pop, bolero, folk, tango, sacred and Latin music.
The latest album features a Spanish rendition of Adele’s Hello entitled Hola (of course).
