Riding high on the success of her 2004 international blockbuster album Resta in Ascolto, Italian singer/songwriter
Laura Pausini took the opportunity to release a covers album,
Yo Canto. The album spans several decades of Italian pop -- some of the songs fairly well known, others less so -- and pays tribute to some of
Pausini's favorite singer/songwriters. Highlights include a couple of smash hits in the title track and "Il Mio Canto Libero," a collaboration with Latin pop superstar
Juanes. ~ Jason Birchmeier
