Laura Pausini
Io Canto

Finally, the highly anticipated new album by Laura Pausini "Io canto" has been released, preceded by the single of the same name by Riccardo Cocciante. Clearly, I rushed to buy it eagerly.

"Io canto" is the reinterpretation through Laura's heavenly voice of sixteen successful songs.

1 IO CANTO: "Io canto" is a song by Riccardo Cocciante from 1979, which thanks to Laura's clear and divine voice becomes a very fresh song, an anthem to singing with heart. Very different from the original.

2 DUE: Laura sings Raf's hit

3 SCRIVIMI: The perhaps least known track of this magnificent album is "Scrivimi" by Nino Buonocore, a very beautiful song especially for its simplicity. A great choice by Laura.

4 IL MIO CANTO LIBERO: The celestial song by Lucio Battisti is reinterpreted by Laura in a duet with Juanes.

5 DESTINAZIONE PARADISO: The news that Laura had sung this classic by Gianluca Grignani left me perplexed, but once I bought the album, the doubts vanished.

6 STELLA GEMELLA: A gem by Ramazzotti that gains even more value thanks to Laura and her vocal and interpretative qualities.

7 COME IL SOLE ALL'IMPROVVISO: Laura sings with the French rockstar Johnny Halliday the extraordinary "Come il sole all'improvviso" by Zucchero. Absolutely spine-tingling for a duet that delivers endless emotions! This version was chosen by Buena Vista as the soundtrack for "Salvatore questa è la vita".

8 CINQUE GIORNI: One of the most beautiful love songs ever written, "Cinque Giorni" by Michele Zarrillo, is masterfully reinterpreted by Laura Pausini.

9 LA MIA BANDA SUONA IL ROCK: Ivano Fossati's hit, almost "hated" by its author, puts Laura to the test. Test passed!

10 SPACCACUORE: This splendid track by the talented Samuele Bersani, interpreted by the greatest Italian singer currently around.

11 ANIMA FRAGILE: a piece from 1997 by Vasco Rossi. Beautiful!

12 NON ME LO SO SPIEGARE: A duet too beautiful to be true! Two of the greatest Italian artists, revered even abroad, offer a gem of sensational value! Laura and Tiziano provide deep, clear, true emotions, and we can only thank them! The key is lower than Tiziano's original. But despite a key that is not congenial to him, Tiziano's voice is warm and engaging.

13 NEI GIARDINI CHE NESSUNO SA: a very evocative and meaningful piece by Renato Zero, once again, emotions take center stage.

14 IN UNA STANZA QUASI ROSA: a very beautiful song by Biagio Antonacci.

15 QUANDO: Pino Daniele's 1991 hit is sung by Laura. The song's atmospheres are brought back to life thanks to the sultry voice of the artist par excellence.

16 STRADA FACENDO: Laura's masterpiece concludes with the evergreen by Claudio Baglioni.

An album that, listen after listen, brings love, because you can feel the love that was put into making it. Endless emotions, Laura's voice borders on perfection both technically and emotionally.

Sure, in the end there are interpretations that remain in the heart more than others, such as the duet with Tiziano Ferro in "Non me lo so spiegare" and "Come il sole all'improvviso", but every episode of this album is successful, every song leaves you with indelible emotions. Additionally, a Spanish version is also available!

Thank you, Laura!
