}} ''Primavera in anticipo'' and ''Primavera anticipada'' (English: ''Early Spring'') are the Italian language and the Spanish-language versions of the tenth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Laura Pausini, released by Warner Music on 11 November 2008. Produced by Pausini with Paolo Carta, Celso Valli and Dado Parisini, the album has been described by Pausini as "a complex album, in which I can completely recognize myself". It is Pausini's first album of new material since ''Resta in ascolto'' / ''Escucha'', released in 2004.〔 The album was described by music critics as Pausini's most personal album to date. Pausini co-wrote each song included in the album, except the track "Prima che esci" / "Antes de irte", written by Italian rock singer-songwriter Gianluca Grignani. The album features the song "Primavera in anticipo (It Is My Song)" / "Primavera anticipada (It Is My Song)", a duet with English singer James Blunt, and also includes collaborations with Italian songwriters Niccolò Agliardi, Cheope and Daniel Vuletic. The album debuted at number one on the Italian Albums Chart and held the top spot for nine consecutive weeks,〔 It was later certified Diamond by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry.〔 The album has sold 500,000 copies in Italy〔 and 1,500,000 copies worldwide. Its Spanish-language version also won Best Female Pop Vocal Album at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2009. The album was anticipated by the single "Invece no" / "En cambio no", released on 24 October 2008.〔 The song was also translated in Portuguese with the title "Agora não" and included in the Brazilian and Portuguese version of the album. It also spawned the singles "Primavera in anticipo (It Is My Song)" / "Primavera anticipada (It Is My Song)" and "Un fatto ovvio" / "Un hecho obvio". ==Background, conception and themes== Pausini started working on the album in late 2007, and spent most of 2008 writing and recording it between Italy, London and Los Angeles. The album was inspired by the events in Pausini's life between 2004 and 2008. In an interview Pausini explained that those years were marked by different kinds of feelings, therefore the album represents four different moments, symbolized by the four astronomical seasons. For that reason, ''Primavera in anticipo'' was described by Italian music critics as Pausini's most personal and mature recording, exploring themes such as self-love,〔 the relationship with her new partner and guitarist Paolo Carta, and grief for her grandmother's death. Particularly, Pausini dedicated to her grandmother the lead single from the album "Invece no" / "En cambio no", a song focused on the pain of those who weren't able to confess everything to a loved person who died:
Pausini later added:〔 It came from my desire to tell people to not be afraid to speak up. I've lived the pain of a goodbye and of realizing you haven't said all you needed to say. Fortunately, when my grandmother died, I had told her everything. The track "La geografia del mio cammino" / "La geografía de mi camino" cites Pausini's first single, "La solitudine" / "La soledad", "Loneliness" in English, describing solitude as a goal to be reached and not as an unease.〔 The song is about Pausini's will to look inside herself and not to lose self-confidence even in the darkest moments. The only song in the album which is not focued on personal feelings is "Sorella terra" / "Hermana tierra", a prayer dedicated to Earth〔 and inspired by Al Gore's environmental activist movement. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Primavera in anticipo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
