Knowing how to strike while the iron is hot, the international all-male pop-opera revue Il Divo, assembled by AMERICAN IDOL's Simon Cowell, followed up its 2005 debut (and subsequent Christmas album) with yet another outing in early 2006. Here the dashing vocal quartet--Urs Buhler (Switzerland), Sebastien Izambard (France), Carlos Marin (Spain), and David Miller (U.S.)--stays true to its multi-lingual repertoire, offering up a suitably dramatic Spanish version of Eric Carmen's "All By Myself" ("Solo Otra Vez") and an English/French rendition of "I Believe in You" (with Celine Dion), among other numbers. While the arrangements on ANCORA are lush and majestic, they never overshadow the full, passionate voices of the foursome, who have clearly become used to working together as a powerful group.
The brainchild of music industry player and infamous American Idol judge Simon Cowell, Il Divo is a pop/classical male vocal ensemble made up of four international heart-throbs (French, Swiss, Spanish, and American). The duo's two multi-lingual albums (in 2004 and 2005) have both been smash hits and have positioned Il Divo as something of an adult-contemporary version of the Spice Girls, albeit with some serious vocal chops.
