Laura Pausini Will Be a Guest at Sanremo

Laura Pausini will be a guest star on the first night of the Italian music festival Sanremo (February 9).

Pausini is scheduled to sing two songs: "La Solitudine" and the title track from her newly released album Simili.

As a guest this week on Italy's Radio Festival, the only web radio station dedicated to the Sanremo music festival, Pausini spoke about the importance of Sanremo, stating: "It's the most important music festival in the world." We don't disagree.

Laura Pausini Releases Music Video for "È a lei che devo l'amore"

Italy's Laura Pausini has released the music video for "È a lei che devo l'amore" ("A Ella Le Debo Mi Amor"). Written by Biagio Antonacci, the song is dedicated to Pausini's daughter Paola and celebrates the love between a mother and her child.

The videos are part of her project of creating a music video for each of the 15 songs on her new album SIMILI (Spanish: SIMILARES). She has already released the videos for the first single "Lato destro del cuore" ("Lado Derecho del Corazón") as well as for "Simili."

Laura Pausini Debuts SIMILARES in the U.S.

Grammy Award-winner Laura Pausini is back with her new Spanish-language album Similares. The 15-track album is the first of her 10 Spanish-language albums that is not entirely based on her personal experiences. In fact, 12 of those songs discuss the stories of others and one of them was written in collaboration with 28 members of her official fan club (laura4u.com). Also included are two very special dedications: "Lo Sabías Antes Tú," dedicated to Pausini's father, and "A Ella Le Debo Mi Amor" (composed by Biagio Antonacci), dedicated to her daughter.

Along with each track on the album will come a corresponding music video, which will all be filmed between Miami and Italy and directed by Leandro Manuel Emede and Nicolò Cerioni.

Similares will be distributed in 61 countries around the world. The Italian version, Simili, is also available now (Check out "Lato destro del cuore" featured on October's list of our Top 5 Italian Songs of the Moment!).

Pausini has sold more than 70 million records. She is a Sanremo winner and has accumulated multiple Latin Grammys, among other prestigious awards.

"Lado Derecho del Corazón," the first single from Similares, debuted in the Top 40 of Billboard's Latin Pop Airplay chart.
