Laura Pausini

Laura Pausini's strength lies in her dynamic range: one minute she's crooning words meant only for your ears, the next she's raised her head to the sky and is shouting her passion from the rooftops. Yo Canto captures her in full anthemic mode, playing the kind of slick pop that has international appeal. There's not a lot of dynamic range here, but Pausini knows what she's good at and does it exceptionally well.
