What the Critics Say
Opera-pop group Il Divo don't stray from their blueprint on their fourth proper album, The Promise, which isn't greatly different in feel or form from its predecessors -- it still consists of stately, dramatic Euro-pop covers of soft rock classics balanced by a couple of made-to-order tunes. Previously, they sang songs that were hits the world over -- "Nights in White Satin," "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman," "All by Myself" -- and here they rely on "The Power of Love," ABBA's "The Winner Takes All," and Charles Aznavour's "She," which wind up skewing this toward the group's Euro roots. Ultimately, fans can choose to listen to this or to the other Il Divo albums, because The Promise offers more of the same. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

I don't usually listen to music in Spanish - but I really like this Il Divo cd. The singer has a rich, deep voice like Josh Groban and is very soothing. Music in the background could be a little richer. The Spanish version of The Winner Takes It All from Mama Mia left me not so enthralled, possibly because the words really speak to me in English and make the song even better. In Spanish, I'm just listening to nice music. I think this will make a really nice gift for my Peruvian sister-in-law.

THE PROMISE was my first time hearing IL Divo and it definitely won't be my last! They are phenomenal! Their gift of singing reaches deep into your soul. I Love their rendition of "Amazing Grace". I highly recommend this CD!
