Andrea Bocelli is giving his fans a tour of Italy in the most unique way as he will be releasing a new project in collaboration with some of the biggest artists in the music industry today. More recently, a teaser of his song with Tori Kelly has been released, marking their reunion nearly seven years later.
According to People Magazine, the 64-year-old legend teamed up with the gospel singer for an emotional rendition of "Hallelujah" (originally sung by Leonard Cohen in 1984).
In collaboration with Trinity Broadcasting Network, a teaser of their performance shows the two sing the timeless classic track in front of historic buildings around Italy.
The 30-year-old Grammy Award-winning songstress sang the first verse in English, while the legend opts for his native language of Italian on the second one. Their harmonious vocals collide in the chorus, which is heavily familiar to most people.
The upcoming project titled "The Journey," will feature Bocelli and his wife Veronica touring around Via Francigena in Italy while riding horses.
Aside from Tori Kelly, the musician will also collaborate with artists like TAYA, Michael W. Smith, Tauren Wells, and many more.
His children Virginia and Matteo will also make an appearance in the upcoming project, which will hit theaters on April 2, 3, 4, and 6. As of this writing, Bocelli's team and Trinity Broadcasting Network have not revealed if "The Journey" will be available online or on streaming platforms after its theater release.
In the caption, TBN described the music special as "an exploration of the moments that define us, the songs that inspire us, and the relationships that connect us to what matters most."
This isn't the first time Bocelli and Kelly collaborate with each other as they previously performed the classic hit "The Prayer" in 2016; the upcoming project will mark their reunion after nearly seven years.
A year before their moving performance of the Celine Dion-featuring track, the two have also performed at the MTV European Music Awards with their rendition of Pink and Nate Ruess' "Just Give Me a Reason."
On the other hand, it appears that Tori Kelly had already mastered "Hallelujah" as she already covered several times in the past: for the animated film "Sing," for the "In Memoriam" segment at the Primetime Emmy Awards in 2016, and with Luis Fonsi at a benefit concert event in 2017.
