Laura Pausini releases the album of unreleased Anime parallele

“ANDro insecure and scaredtoday they are finally calm and happy. Although, sometimes, still I don’t feel worthy of my career».

The day after being the first super guest of the Live Show of X Factor, Laura Pausini49 years old, presents Parallel Soulsthe new album of unreleased songs after the release five years ago of Get in touch.

«Even after 30 years of career, I need encouragement when a record comes out: I’m confident only on stage, but not off”, began the singer, especially at a time when “Italian music outside our country he’s not going through an easy time».

Laura Pausini: «Today I look at the soul of human beings»

Baby pink suit, hair to shoulders, smiling and «this time not polemical, without anger and resentment», Pausini said that the album «is born in the Covid period. We had the opportunity to spend time with our thoughts, asking ourselves questions.”

Then, once freed «like caged animals, we broke away and now we are all further away. We are approved but not because we share certain values, but because we are afraid of being excluded».

And today? «I had to understand how to deal with this state of mind, so I understood that I had to look at ourselves from the outside, get out of my body and observe from above.” So she put «individuality and its right to be respected: today I look at human beings for their souls, not bodiesand I also associate the word “parallel” because we each go towards our own path even though we share the same roads».

Sixteen tracks for digital – each connected to the story of a person who crossed his path in some way – the artist will bring his latest work on tour from December, first in Italy (December), then in Europeto finally close in April between United States and South America. Her daughter will also be there with her for some stops in Italy and Europe Paola. However, the next one will skip Sanremo Festival for “personal reasons”.

The thirty-year anniversary of Laura Pausini’s career

Still in disbelief at her successes, after 30 years – 1993 was the year of her Sanremo debut with Loneliness – Laura often still wonders «because I’m here and not another artist. I like to be simple, but this job is not normal: balancing it all without doing drugs and becoming a psychopath it’s very complicated,” he admits jokingly.

The themes of the songs of Parallel Souls

The first song, Zero, tells of those who withdraw into themselves and are no longer able to speak, hiding their feelings behind the fear of taking flight. Instead, Laura explains, “you have to throw yourself into it to experience all the possible emotions, nothing but… Zero”.

A good start arrives after the celebrations for 30 years of career, «it is my celebration of starting to believe in ourselves again», while Last it’s a great little word, because in a frenetic world, “in which we all quickly get tired of things and people, it reminds us that there are also relationships that last thanks to passion and sacrifice”. Like her love story with Paolo Cartawhich has lasted for 18 years and which culminated, in March 2023, in marriage.

In And that’s not the case either “I address the topic of gratuitous judgment that hurts, and it doesn’t just happen to us famous people, but it applies to everyone.” Things tells of those who remain stuck to themselves due to a stubbornness that does not allow them to change their minds: «it is not autobiographical, but I find myself there a lot!», explained Laura Pausini. Every time «it’s one of the best on the album, he wrote it Thomas Paradise. I asked him to change parts of the text because I didn’t like it, but he was very determined and he didn’t want to.” When she was born Parallel Souls «I understood that they weren’t just my stories, so I decided to include this song too».

A song dedicated to his daughter Paola

First step on the moon it is the story of a friendship that ends due to a difference of ideas, underlining how “it is easier to step on the moon than to meet halfway”. Natural home it is dedicated to his daughter Paolawho wanted to sing it with her «even if I’m worried she wants to be a singer one day. Let’s hope we haven’t encouraged her and that she decides to be an architect!”, she said jokingly.

A song written with could not be missing Biagio Antonaccihis great friend forever, and he is More than an ideawhile the tenth title is Parallel Soulswhich gives the album its title, a hymn to being yourself on the journey of life.

However it is one of the very first songs «that made me believe in myself again after a difficult period», because despite having won the Golden Globesshot a documentary film and having received a Oscar nominationhe experienced «many moments in which I felt insecure and scared. In that period, despite many beautiful things, I had doubts about my life, as a mother and as a singer».

Each song tells the story of a person

In Flashback talks about Alessia Pizzuti, a girl who called her live on the radio 15 years ago telling her about the domestic violence suffered by her father and who wrote her story in the book The echo of your voice. “The event One none and one hundred thousand it is dedicated to her”, reveals Laura Pausini, who appears in the girl’s book with the name Luce.

He was looking for a sense of freedom and travel and he put it in Venusa song with a Californian beat that tells of «a woman who takes control of his life with conscience and awarenesswho wants to experience everything that comes, illuminated by a special light like that of Venus.”

Is worth is inspired by the relationship with one of his fans, Virna, who tragically lost her boyfriend. So Laura praised their love in a song, because she “is worth telling”. Beyond the surface it is dedicated to those who don’t realize who they really have at their side, because it stops at a superficial relationship. But relationships “win when they go beyond appearances: I suffer when people give fake compliments, so when I find someone who knows how to read my sensitive sides I feel saved».

Write In front of us «it was like breathing, because it takes up the promises that Paolo and I exchanged at our wedding, which we have organized in great secrecy. We ordered the wedding rings online and paid 20 euros”, he enjoys specifying.

But this inner peace achieved by the artist also includes criticisms which, invariably, arrive. «They tell me to Don’t respond to what I read about myself that is false», he explained, «because if I reply the algorithm circulates this news even more. But what do you want, I’ve never been good at mathematics!
