Read MoreItalian singer Alessandra Amoroso has taken the next big step in her musical career.
The music video for her latest single "Me Siento Sola" was just released yesterday, August 13. The song features Mario Domm of Mexican pop/rock band Camila, who wrote the song for her. It is the second single from her debut album for the Latin market, which is set to release this September.
We love the musical collision of these two artists--one from Italy, one from Mexico. While the song certainly has Domm's stamp on it, it does not fail to fit Amoroso's style perfectly, and even incorporates elements of that Italian sound that we love so much.
Amoroso won the 2009 edition of the Italian talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi. She has already experienced wide success singing in her native language, and understandably so, as her soulful style and rich tone stand out from many of today's international artists. Her six Italian-language albums, which include one live album, have achieved various levels of platinum sales in Italy.

The power of music is truly amazing. It’s one of the things that drives us here at Musical Notes Global and one of the many reasons why we started this blog. There is no better example of the profound effect of music than the phenomenon that is Il Volo.
Read MoreThe official video for “Grande Amore” (Spanish Version), the latest single from Italian trio Il Volo, was just released yesterday, July 27. The Spanish-language version of their Sanremo-winning, Eurovision entry, recently released as a single, is without a doubt just as thrilling as the original, but also deservedly stands alone as its own work of art.
With the video, Il Volo shares a beautiful new vision with their audience. Featuring performance footage from their PBS special Il Volo: Live from Pompeii, the video juxtaposes scenes in black & white and color for an impactful, dramatic effect that matches the stunning emotion of the song.
Catch it on TV: The video in its entirety will premiere today at 1pm/12c via NBC Universo’s video block UNIVERSO: NOW.
