Latin pop sensation Alejandro Fernandez makes a guest appearance on the album, joining Frangoulis in the song "Hay Mas." Follow Your Heart will be released in the UK & Greece on Monday, August 16, 2004, and in the U.S. on Tuesday, February 1, 2005. Sometimes I Dream continues on the Billboard Classical Crossover chart, where it has remained for almost 90 consecutive weeks. Though that album introduced Frangoulis to an international audience, he is already a multi-platinum recording artist in his native Greece. Frangoulis himself planned the repertoire and defined the concept for Follow Your Heart, which explores a Latin flavor and relaxed warmth that represents a bit of a departure from the intensity of Sometimes I Dream. The tenor calls Follow Your Heart "a very personal album ... that I hope reflects my most profound feelings about life ... putting across my views about friendship and love, family and patriotism." Most of the tracks on Follow Your Heart were produced (and several written) by Emanuele Ruffinengo - internationally known for his Grammy-winning work with singer Alejandro Sanz - and the album reunites Frangoulis with executive producer Steve Wood, who produced three tracks on the new album and was at the helm of Sometimes I Dream. As with Sometimes I Dream, Frangoulis sings in multiple languages on Follow Your Heart, with most of the songs in English. The album's 12 tracks also include songs in Greek, Italian and Spanish. The album's opening track "Here's to the Heroes" - a new song, with lyrics by Don Black and also set to the main theme from John Barry's Oscar-winning score for Dances With Wolves - is a tribute to the athletes competing in the Summer Olympic Games in Athens. Two tracks on Follow Your Heart have a classical pedigree - "Another World" is adapted from the popular chorus "Va! Pensiero" from Giuseppe Verdi's opera Nabucco, and "Adagio" is taken from the slow movement of the famous Oboe Concerto of Italian Baroque composer Alessandro Marcello. Another track - "Come What May" - comes from the soundtrack of the hit 2001 film Moulin Rouge. The song titles describe the album's soulful, contemplative mood - from the title track to "Bridge of Dreams," "Another World" and "Benedictus." They also include a duet - "Cúmme" - with the young Spanish singer Melody.
