The song’s name, “O Sole Mio,” can be interpreted as “My Sun” in English. The lyrics depict the beautiful Naples scenery and the comforting embrace of sunlight and the love of a woman. “O Sole Mio / It’s Now Or Never” is the follow-up single to Faro’s Parla Piu Piano, in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the greatest love song from The Godfather movie, and is released through Stradivari Classics.

“Ole Sole Mio” was also recorded by Elvis Presley and released in 1960 and is one of his most popular singles with over twenty million copies sold. Luciano Pavarotti recorded it and won a Grammy in 1980 for his version. It has also been recorded by Andrea Bocelli, Marlo Lanza, and Enrico Caruso, and included on Jonathan Cilia Faro’s new album Romantico due out Friday, September 15.
“In 2003 after overcoming many difficulties, I finally arrived in America,” shares Jonathan Cilia Faro. “For me, the great American dream is called ‘Elvis.’ After watching a documentary about how “The King of Rock & Roll” loved Luciano Pavarotti and how he heard Elvis’ version of “O Sole Mio, It’s Now or Never.” It is music that makes the world fall in love. So now let’s enjoy this tribute to two musical giants who continue to make us dream through their songs. It was great being able to bring to life once again music from the great Elvis and Luciano with the help of Vanessa Campagna.”
Romantico is the newest album by Jonathan Cilia Faro, which features sixteen of the greatest love songs of all time. The album highlights Faro’s distinctive fusion of opera and pop, leading audiences through an emotional journey of love songs like never before. Infusing his individual flair into timeless tracks like “O Sole Mio,” “Parla Piu Piano,” “Love Story,” “The Prayer,” and“Can’t Help Falling In Love,” this record stands out in every way. Even to the most pop-centric fan, there is something about an operatic tenor’s voice that moves the spirit. With a string of sixteen successful albums, four inspirational and twelve crossovers, plus the top-selling album in Europe, he continues to deliver his unique blend of musical stylings.
In 2022 Jonathan had the honor of performing at the ‘Joyce Meyer Women’s Conference,’ where he filled the arena with his powerful and inspirational performance of “How Great Though Art.”
