The five stars of Amici forever enchant audiences around the world with their inspiring and unique sound that brings together the best of two worlds. As the New York Times noted, Amici forever are a group whose "voices sing opera, but their looks scream pop."

They scored phenomenal success last year with their debut album, THE OPERA BAND, which sold one million albums worldwide and earned the group a Classical Brit Award nomination.

To celebrate the occasion, the group's second album, DEFINED, will be released June 21st on RCA Victor. DEFINED is a continuation of the group's signature blend of updated classics, plus two brand-new songs that are certain to become favorites. Singing everything from Beethoven to Rachmaninov, the band chose beautiful melodies that have withstood the test of time, such as Beethoven's Seventh Symphony (in "Land & Freedom (Terra e Liberta)") and Albinoni's Adagia for Strings (Adagio). "DEFINED really gives us a tighter, more refined musical identity," comments one of the band members. Hear it now for yourself. |
