The Promise

by Il Divo

Overview

The Promise sees Il Divo return with their richest and most diverse album to date. Produced by longtime collaborator Steve Mac, it reveals a courageous new direction for the group over eleven captivating songs. An inspired version of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "The Power Of Love" features alongside a haunting and beautiful interpretation of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," while the smouldering intensity of "Adagio" contrasts beautifully with a bold version of Abba's "The Winner Takes It All."
