The first greatest-hits compilation by Italian superstar
Laura Pausini gathers the best from her first five albums, all phenomenally successful: Laura Pausini (1993),
Laura (1994), Le Cose Che Vivi (1996),
La Mia Risposta (1998), and Tra Te e il Mare (2000). It also includes two new songs, "E Ritorno da Te" and "Una Storia Che Vale," as well as "One More Time," previously available only on the soundtrack of the film Le Parole Che Non Ti Ho Detto. Furthermore, four other songs are present in newly recorded versions, "La Solitudine," "Strani Amori," "Non C'é," and "Seamisai," the last two featuring
Nek and
Gilberto Gil, respectively. As appropriate for a truly global pop star,
The Best of Laura Pausini has seen several international editions, with slightly different track lists. ~ Mariano Prunes
