Croatian cello duo 2CELLOS have released their sixth full-length album Dedicated via Sony Masterworks this week. 

Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser reunited after a break earlier this year on the 10th anniversary since the formation of 2CELLOS and on Friday they dropped their new album. 

“We always planned to come back, and we came into Dedicated with a fresh approach and energy. We haven’t been on stage for two years now, so we can’t wait to get back out,” the duo said.

Dedicated finds 2CELLOS exploring a diverse catalog with their signature boundary-breaking playing style. The collection includes their take on everything from classic pop hits (“bad guy”  by Billie Eilish, “Shallow” by Lady Gaga, “Halo” by Beyonce) to hard-hitting rock songs (“Cryin’” by Aerosmith, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses, “Wherever I Go” by OneRepublic) to celebrated classics (“Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel).

“When you listen to us, we hope you realize the cello is a versatile and diverse instrument capable of playing the hardest rock, the softest ballad, and the most contemporary of music,” 2CELLOS note. “It moves you in a way that’s equally powerful. It has a whole palette of emotions, ups, and downs. We’re trying to give you an experience you can’t get anywhere else.”

Also, making its debut alongside the album release is 2CELLOS’ new video for “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” a cover of the Guns N’ Roses classic. Video below. 

The group will also make their long-awaited return to the stage in support of the new album, kicking off their 2022 U.S. Dedicated Tour on March 26 at Rosemont’s Allstate Arena before stopping at iconic venues including New York’s Barclays Center (April 3) and Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl (April 15).
