Laura Pausini welcomes Billboard Español editor Sigal Ratner-Arias in Rome to dive deep into her new album ‘Yo Canto 2,’ the pressure of fame, how motherhood has changed her, and the ‘sweet’ message she received from Bad Bunny.

Sigal Ratner-Arias:

To start, Laura, thank you for receiving us in Rome, the city where you live, at such a busy time. We know how very busy your schedule is these days, so it doesn’t go unnoticed that you made space for us and invited us to Rome.

Laura Pausini:

No, but let me say “benvenuta a Roma,” welcome to Rome. And it’s a pleasure to see you, Sigal. Whenever I see you, you have a very special light, and that is also a bit the concept of the entire album- seeking light, seeking happiness, and serenity.

We were just talking about how I discovered your music in Venezuela, then I interviewed you in New York, interviewed you in Miami, saw you in Seville celebrating when you were Person of the Year, and now, finally, here we are going around the world, right? 

Around the world, right? Next time, where will it be? In Japan? 

Well, to start, tell us where we are now and what we came to do here after this interview. 

We’re in a studio in Rome where they also shoot movies. And here we’re shooting the video for the new single in Spanish, which will be “Mariposa Tecnicolor” by Fito Páez. It’s a song that I see your eyes shine. Why? 

After we interview each other. That’s inside information.

It’s a very personal thing, but well.

A personal thing. You like this song, right?

Keep watching for more!
