"The singer creates and otherworldly vibe that's driven, like real opera, by narrative highs and lows."
The title of Sicilian born tenor Jonathan Cilia Faro's majestic collection lends itself to a declaration: From Now On. Fans of epic, romantic "popera" can set aside their Bocelli, Groban and Il Divo albums and make his authentic, powerful vocals their "go-to" when their spirits need a lift.
Working with top Italian songwriters and arrangers and penning lyrics to four of the album's songs, the singer creates an otherworldly vibe that's driven, like real opera, by narrative highs and lows, with sweet moments of lyrical intimacy followed by bursts of intense, soaring emotion. He powerfully translates his personal triumphs into every transcendent note.
