Laura Pausini

Laura Pausini runs double duty with “Io Canto 2” and “Yo Canto 2” releases

Laura Pausini prepares parallel tributes to iconic songwriting with “Yo Canto 2” in Spanish and “Io Canto 2” in Italian—two albums orbiting different linguistic systems but sharing a singular ambition.

“Mi Historia Entre Tus Dedos” masquerades as a bilingual bridge, the only track appearing twice, a nod to its well-worn resonance from late-night karaoke to legacy radio frequencies.

With over 40 songs queued and two tours plotted, she readies to split stages by language, sparing no effort—even performing “Mi Historia” at the Billboard Latin Music Awards before the full rollout.

Laura Pausini picks up Billboard Icon nod—quiet fame speaks louder in two tongues

Laura Pausini is slated to receive the Icon Award at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, an event produced in collaboration with Telemundo. This recognition coincides with her participation in Billboard Latin Music Week, where she’s expected to mark her enduring crossover presence and bilingual catalog with characteristic restraint and elegance.

Her appearance, perfectly timed with the award show, quietly echoes a career that straddles artistic acclaim and commercial viability across language barriers and decades.
