The duo’s fifth studio album The Let There Be Cello is scheduled for release on October 19th. Besides the original compositions, the record will see 2CELLOS covering pop hits like Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” and Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito,” as well as classics like John Lennon’s” Imagine” and Queen’s “Show Must Go On.”
“We’ve always said we want to break down pre-conceptions about the cello and the boundaries around musical genres,” said 2CELLOS in a statement. “This album demonstrates that. We take inspiration from all sources, from pop smashes to timeless classical music, from classic rock through to our love of film music. This album has the lot – including some 2CELLOS originals. There are no rules, just let there be cello!”
