New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Universal
Music Enterprises) - Legendary songwriting machine
Diane Warren, who has penned some of the most recognizable songs over the past 25 years, has joined forces with Grammy-winning producer Humberto Gatica (Michael Buble,
Celine Dion) and created Due Voci, featuring the magnificent voices of
Kelly Levesque and Tyler Hamilton singing classic reinterpretations of Warren's many hits. Their self-titled debut release, DUE VOCI, is scheduled for a June 8 release as is a deluxe version of the album including a bonus DVD filled with behind-the-scenes footage and a special performance of "Because You Loved Me."
Warren, who has penned over 90 top-ten hits in the course of her remarkable career, including "Unbreak My Heart," "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, "Because You Loved Me," "If I Could Turn Back Time," and "How Do I Live," said that she found "the perfect voices" in the pairing of Kelly Levesque and Tyler Hamilton after a year and a half search and hundreds of auditions. "Their classic versions of my songs, along with several new ones that I've written for Due Voci, was a dream come true for me as a songwriter," stated Warren.
In tandem with the release of DUE VOCI on June 8, the "Diane Warren: Love Songs" PBS Special will begin airing in major markets. Guest artists include Toni Braxton ("Unbreak My Heart"), Gloria Estefan ("Music of My Heart"), LeAnn Rimes ("How Do I Live"), with special appearances by Fantasia, Patti Austin and Eric Benet along with Due Voci.
