Heavenly Harmony: Andrea Bocelli, Kari Jobe & Cody Carnes Unite for a Soul-Stirring Rendition of ‘The Blessing’
In a breathtaking fusion of classical mastery and modern worship, world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli has joined forces with Capitol Christian award-winning artists Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes for a new, soul-lifting version of the GRAMMY®-nominated anthem “The Blessing.” Released by Decca, the collaboration radiates hope, peace, and divine assurance — an exquisite meeting of sacred passion and timeless artistry. The release follows Bocelli’s two recent papal performances, including a moving duet with his son Matteo and a historic Vatican performance with KAROL G. His signature Italian verses bring a new depth to the already beloved global worship song, weaving classical elegance with spiritual warmth in a way that transcends language and culture.
Originally released in 2020, “The Blessing” became a worldwide spiritual phenomenon, inspiring hundreds of multilingual covers from churches and choirs across continents. The new version elevates the song to celestial heights, carried by Bocelli’s emotive tenor and the heartfelt harmonies of Jobe and Carnes. Reflecting on the collaboration, the couple shared, “What a huge honor to record with Andrea Bocelli… we had tears in our eyes when he began singing in Italian.” Their combined performance delivers not just a melody but a prayer — a reminder that music, when touched by faith, can unite hearts across the world in a single, heavenly chorus.
