4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and passionate Laura, February 28, 2005

By	Ricardo Carreon Quinones "http://ricardosblog... (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Laura Pausini has for a long time enjoyed major singer status in Latin music. She has for years been a consistent producer of pop vocal hits in Italian as well as in Spanish. In Resta in Ascolto Laura surprises us once again by producing a passionate work of art that comes across powerful by adding a healthy dose of rock sounds as well as great piano and violin arrangements to her signature pop ballads and mellodies approach.

Some very interesting tracks to listen to: "La Prospettiva di Me", "Resta in Ascolto" -- a very sucessful international hit that carries Laura's tradition forward; and "Vivimi" -- a nice ballad where Laura's beautiful vocals are especially fit to carry you through a full range of emotions; also noteworthy is "Il Tuo Nome in Maiuscolo" a smooth, romantic ballad to dance to.

Resta in Ascolto is also available in Spanish as "Escucha Atento". A very good alternative for people interested in hearing great pop vocals and ballads crafted from a different perspective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great!, August 7, 2005

By	Stine (MD, USA) - See all my reviews

This is the first Laura Pausini cd I have owned. Since then, I have bought the Spanish vers, the Spanish and Italian versions of "The Best of Laura Pausini", and "Tra Te e il Mare". Thank God I went to Europe this past spring and happened to hear "Il tuo nome in Maiuscolo" on one of the Scandinavian Airlines radio stations! I was so amazed by her voice that I looked up her name, wrote it down on a gum wrapper and bought this cd when I got home!
I would have to say that my favorite tracks are Vivimi, Resta in Ascolto, Il tuo nome in maiuscolo, and come se non fosse stato amore.
I would say that the first 6 tracks are great! However, it seems like the 2nd half of the cd meshes together. "Dove L'aria e Polvere" has beautiful lyrics though. The other tracks are great (except for the last one),but they just don't seem to distinguish themselves as well as the first 6.
The only reason I am giving this cd 4 stars is because of the last track, the one that Laura co-wrote with Madonna. I don't know why but I really hate this track. I think it's because of the line in English; it just doesn't belong or something. I always have to skip this track when I am playing the cd.
But other than that, no complaints! It's true that this cd is very different from her others; many places are more aggressive than her usual sound, but it's not a bad change.
Great work, Laura!

5.0 out of 5 stars LAURA STRIKES AGAIN WITH A RESOUNDING FORCE!!, October 31, 2004

By A Customer

I have been a HUGE fan of Laura Pausini since her very first appearance at San Remo Giovani when she won the hearts of the audience with her song "La Solitudine". Since then, I have intensely followed her career as her music MATURED and VARIED with each release. Her music speaks a universal language...You don't need to understand it to be blown away and captivated by her hauntingly beautiful vocal arrangements and catchy melodies.

RESTA IN ASCOLTO is Laura's 7th commercial Italian release and all I have to say is WOW!!!!!!!! This time, Laura experimented more on a contemporary rock sound that will definitely captivate listeners from song to song....It is full of emotion and power packed vocals and lyrics. The most touching and inspiring song is DOVE L'ARIA E' POLVERE, which is a tribute Ali Ismaeel Abbas (the 12 year old boy from Iraq who lost his family and his arms when his house was attacked by a rocket. www.aliabbas.net)

Laura also made a benchmark in her career by collaborating with Madonna on the track MI ABBANDONO A TE, which is a heart-felt ballad in the true Madonna style.

No song will disappoint you....If you are a new or old fan, do yourself a HUGE favour and buy this cd.

LAURA, SE LEGGI QUESTO ARTICOLO, VORREI DIRTI CHE TI AMO IMMENSAMENTE, DAL PROFONDO DEL MIO CUORE!!! SEI GRANDE E FORTISSIMA!!
