"Breathe Gentle" is a song by Italian singer-songwriter Tiziano Ferro with featured vocals by American singer Kelly Rowland. It was released on 20 February 2009 as the third single from Ferro's fourth studio album Alla mia età.
It was written and composed by Ferro, Ivano Fossati and Billy Mann. An Italian language version, "Indietro", also appears on the album, withouth Rowland's vocals.
The song reached #1 on the Italian Airplay Charts and #9 on the Dutch Top 40.[1]
Music video
The music video for the song was shot at Lake Garda, directed by Gaetano Morbioli and its content is similar to that of James Bond movies. In the video, Ferro and Rowland are two thieves living a dangerous love story. In the end, they are close to getting caught by the police after a heist apparently staged to steal a valuable diamond, but they manage to fly away together successfully in a helicopter. Parts of the video were filmed at Villa Ansaldi, a 12-hectare lakeside estate near Sirmione featuring its own helipad, which later became known as the former residence of Austrian businessman René Benko.
