With the energy and enthusiasm that distinguish it, Laura Pausini reveals participation as a super guest of the second evening of Sanremo Festival 2022 (February 1-5). “Your flowers have arrived – says Amadeus to the conductor – and yes, I’m coming”. On this stage he made his debut with La solitudine almost thirty years ago (it was in 1993) and he also participated in it last year, so his «I can’t wait» is also a tribute to his personal history. She is – so far – the only woman among the guest stars announced (Checco Zalone, Maneskin and Cesare Cremonini). The five partners in the conduction (Lorena Cesarini, Drusilla Foer, Maria Chiara Giannetta, Sabrina Ferilli and Ornella Muti) will accompany the conductor in the various evenings.

The new year, in fact, promises to be full of news for the singer-songwriter: the new single will be released on January 20 Box, the original piece made for the film dedicated to her, Pleased to meet you (coming soon on Amazon Prime Video), directed by Ivan Cotroneo. He presented it in a 3D simulcast appointment in two Italian squares (Rome and Milan) and in the rest of the world (Madrid, Paris, Mexico City, Brasilia, Miami and New York).

The title of the song is told in the note that the artist gave to the press: “The box I sing about is not a material object, it is a symbol of what contains our thoughts, memories, feelings, which preserves what of truth it is contained in our heart, in our head. I wondered about this and this intrigues me more today, like all of us I had two years in which everything slowed down and I had more time to dedicate to myself, to retrace so many moments of a life so wonderfully normal that I was moved. I saw myself as a teenager again, I thought about the dreams I had and what I am today, looking for a meeting point. Until at midnight and 41 minutes on 10 March 2021 it arrived a song, written by Madame and dedicated to a teenage friendship, inspired by a post of mine in which I talked about my classmates. From the first listening I read it immediately as a dialogue between the Laura of today and that of the past and in this key we have reviewed it and it has become the song that I felt perfect for my return. I like being able to tell that little girl that I have not forgotten her and that even if fate has taken us far away, even today and every day we are the same thing, the same person and today I am sure of this more than ever ».

After the last few months, they have given her a Golden Globe and the candidacy to the Oscar awards per I do, made for the film Life ahead of him (Netflix), this time Laura Pausini tries her hand at a feature film that brings her closer to her audience. Indeed, his original idea of ​​this new form of story is his: “I always wondered what would have happened if I hadn’t had the fortune and perseverance to live such a crazy life, what would have changed and what instead would have been. same thing as the song says. When I decided to make the film I realized that this was the way to follow to tell my life, my choices and what makes me who I am, and find a way to show my little girl my crazy, unexpected, tiring and unique story. Always accompanied by my family, my closest friends and collaborators, I have traveled the world and have had the privilege of performing on the most important stages, and of singing with my greatest idols. Yet every morning I wake up and my thoughts always go to that girl who dreamed of playing piano bar. Box is the exact photograph of this, I think it is very common, especially for the period we are living in, making this type of balance sheet, it also helped me to understand many things and many aspects of myself. It was a pleasure to meet me ».

The 70-million-record pop star then promises to give the festival audience another foray into her soul. And she’s not the one to break oaths. On the contrary.
