01 Jun Laura Pausini raves about Bad Bunny’s “Turista”: “I heard it and immediately fell in love.”

Music evokes emotions, regardless of style. Many might think they could never be moved by a genre that isn’t usually on their playlist, but life sometimes holds surprises, and we should definitely not close ourselves off to music. Just think: maybe your favorite singer of romantic ballads enjoys listening to reggaeton at nine o’clock on a Monday morning.

This isn’t the example I’m about to give you, but it came to mind when I heard Laura Pausini’s new song. The Italian artist surprised everyone with a very special song that both amazed and captivated her audience: her own version of Bad Bunny’s “Turista”.

An adaptation tailored to her voice that, if you didn’t know the original, you’d think was written specifically for her. She also confessed that from the moment she first heard it, she was captivated by the song and didn’t want to miss the opportunity to sing and release it, even though it won’t be included on any album.

“As Woody Wuthrie said, ‘A good song can only do good.’ I heard ‘Turista’ and was instantly captivated… so I sang it. And here it is. There are songs that don’t necessarily have to be part of a new album or released as a single. If a song touches your heart, it’s good in any style and at any time. Bravo, Bad Bunny!” the singer wrote, showing her unreserved admiration for her fellow artist.

Many colleagues from the industry, such as Alejandro Sanz, wanted to show Laura Pausini their admiration and congratulate her on this beautiful song, which speaks of the fleeting nature of relationships that sometimes consist only of people who pass through our lives as if it were a brief visit.

With this, the versatile and popular Laura Pausini proves once again that she dares to tackle all genres and that she can make every song unique with her voice.
