 Not What I Would Have Expected

I've been a fan of Laura Pausini's Italian-language songs for some time, and took a look at "From the Inside" to hear her sing in English. Result? Mixed feelings. While Laura is as great as ever, the songwriting is sub-par compared to what Pausini herself usually writes, and some of the production is a bit over-the-top. That being said, the album isn't at all bad. It's just not what I would have expected.
Pausini recorded this record after her Italian greatest hits album "E Ritorno da Te" and before mega-hit "Resta in Ascolto". At that time, Laura was best known for her adult contemporary ballads, a la Celine Dion in the mid-1990s. In that sense, this album somewhat fits in with what she was doing then. However, when viewed in the current context of Laura's repertoire, it fades compared to more recent work.
As others have mentioned, some songs are translations of previous hits. 'Every Day is a Monday', which was also recorded as 'Il Mio Sbaglio Piu Grande'/'Un Error de los Grandes' isn't nearly as entertaining as its foreign-language counterparts. 'It's Not Goodbye' was written by Pausini herself as 'In Assenza di Te'/'En Ausencia di Ti' - and it shows. The song is performed beautifully with emotion.
Along with 'It's Not Goodbye', other great tracks from the record are the piano/vocal reprise of 'Every Little Thing You Do', 'If That's Love', and 'Without You' - all of them are gentle, tender tunes that evoke strong emotion. And while 'I Need Love' and 'Surrender' are very upbeat, they're filled with the magic Laura has become famous for. Least favortie tracks? 'Do I Dare' and 'I Do to Be' definitely top the list, more for their sheer over-production than anything else. But don't let these two discourage you.
Overall, the album is worth a solid three stars. Some tracks are better off being skipped, but many of them are charming. A few stand out as true gems, and all of them contain great pronunciation by a woman who doesn't speak English as a first - or even second - language. While "From the Inside" isn't what I would have expected from Laura Pausini, it's a decent album that brings a smile to my face. |

LAURA, YOU ARE FROM THE INSIDE...

| THIS IS ONE OF HER GREATEST ALBUMS YET... IT HAS HELPED ME IN SO MANY WAYS. SHE/IT HAS TORN DOWN MY WALLS AND BROKE ME DOWN. IF YOU REALLY LISTEN TO THE WORDS AND FEEL THEM, YOU WILL SEE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ALBUM IS "FROM THE INSIDE". "DO I DARE" HAS A BLUESY FEEL TO IT AND "DO TO BE" IS AWESOME AND UPLIFTING, JUST FABULOUS. |

 Laura Pausini is great - even in English

| I'm partial to Laura's Italian stuff and didn't realize that this particular album is all in English - but she still has a great voice. Even though it is not in her native language, I would encourage any fan of Laura Puasini to not let this album pass by. |

kills me it's her only english speaking album.
makes me wish I studied French harder in high school or really learned Spanish way back when I was involved with my South American amour 20 plus years ago...
one day Pausini will do another album in English I hope and suspect, but until then, let it suffice to say that if you like pop romantic melodies and lyrics this is as good as it gets...
What prompted me to write this is that just walked into the other room and heard the TV playing a song of hers I had never heard called "One More Time" which is the final song from a Kevin Costner film from 1999 called "Message in a Bottle" and while I missed the film and just caught the song during the closing credits I knew it was Laura imediately. Interestingly, this song in English is not on her other albums and the only other english speaking song not on "Fromthe Inside" that I am aware of is "Go the extra mile" which is one of her all time best songs, in my opinion.
Listen to her stuff, she was Grammy Latin artist of the year 2 years ago, for a reason.
Thank you C.L.T. for introducing me to her in 2001. Drop me an email if you see this review, too.
