Acclaimed singer, songwriter, producer, and performer Gino Vannelli is returning on 7th February 2025 with The Life I Got (To My Most Beloved) via COA Productions, distributed by BFD / The Orchard, marking his 22nd album and first new studio album since 2019. It is the most intimate release in his expansive 50-plus year career that's highlighted by 20 million albums sold worldwide. Written through a time of personal hardship as his wife, Patricia, battled cancer and sadly passed earlier this year, its 11 finely etched tracks encompass the emotional turmoil of losing one's soulmate and finding the will to move forward.
"This collection of songs was written during my beloved wife's illness," says GINO, whose luminous and soaring voice imbues the album with both warmth and urgency. "It's an account of all the joys and suffering. She passed away when the record was completed. I remain in awe of Patricia's courage. I miss her so. My love is eternal."
The Life I Got (To My Most Beloved) was written, arranged, produced, and recorded by Gino and co-producer Peter Fil at Inka Studio in Portland, OR, where Gino resides.
