Laura Xmas is the title of Laura Pausini’s new album, set for world-wide release on Friday, November 4, 2016. The album is produced by Patrick Williams and Laura and arranged and conducted by Patrick Williams. Additionally, Atlantic-Warner Music will release versions in Italian and Spanish and it will be distributed in over 60 countries.  Laura Xmas will contain the most popular Christmas songs of all time, and will be unveiled to the world by Laura on November 24 in Paris, during a special evening event organized in collaboration with Disneyland Paris.

 “Making a Christmas Album has always been a dream of mine”, Laura recently stated.  “To sing the songs I learned as a young girl and used to sing in church or at home with my family... I tried to bring together two wishes I had: to make a Christmas album and be backed by a big-band.”

For this new project, Laura has chosen one of the top producers in the world, Patrick Williams, possibly the most critically acclaimed big-band arranger in the US,  who recorded the album with his Orchestra at the legendary Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. As a result, the album shines with a unique light, exuding extraordinary musical quality.

“Working with such a world-famous singer was exciting. Laura is one of the best performers I have ever met, a very charismatic person, and it was a real pleasure to work with her. Laura is very versatile, she really can sing anything. She has a great talent: the ability to tell you a story,” Patrick Williams says.  Patrick has a rich history in producing great singers and was Frank Sinatra’s long-time producer.  He has also worked with Barbra Streisand, Andrea Bocelli, and on major hits by Michael Bublé.

Laura Xmas encapsulates all the magic of Christmas: 12 great Christmas classics which are part of everyone’s collective family memories.

The first single, “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” will be released on November 4 and is one of the best known and most loved Christmas songs of all time.  The release of the single will be accompanied by a video shot at the Ebe Stignani Municipal Theatre in Imola, under the patronage of the Imola Council, directed by Gaetano Morbioli, who has directed some of the most successful music videos in Laura’s career.

The cover of the album portrays Laura dressed in a long red cape, sitting on a swing in an enchanted, snow-covered forest. A fairytale setting which can only exist in the imagination, in the best Christmas tradition, created in Los Angeles by a master of new photography, Josh Rossi, one of the most prominent artists in the art of narrating fairytales through images.

The new album caps off a hugely successful year for Laura, both in Italy and abroad. Starting with “Simili”, released in November 2015 and certified as multiplatinum, Laura’s success this year has been unstoppable. Additionally, Laura also received a Latin Grammy nomination in the “Grabación del Año” category, for her song Lado Derecho del Corazón, the Spanish version of the first single taken from the album.

After a triumphant string of stadium shows in Italy, she set off on a world tour that has just come to an end. 

In 2016 Laura Pausini also won over television audiences in Italy with the Rai1 programme “Laura & Paola”, created with her friend Paola Cortellesi: three unforgettable prime time shows which garnered her the prestigious “Premio Regia Televisiva” award as “Breakthrough TV personality of the year”.

Laura most recently resumed her role as coach for the talent show “La Banda”, the only artist to be confirmed for a second consecutive season. Further proof of the success of the show, created by Simon Cowell, also lies in the recent nomination for the International Emmy Awards.
