Records has announced the forthcoming release of the first English-language
album from international superstar Laura Pausini. “FROM THE INSIDE,” which
also marks Pausini’s Atlantic label debut, is slated for an October 29th

160 platinum discs and legions of fans throughout Europe and South America.
“FROM THE INSIDE” will be preceded
by the first single, “Surrender.” The song is shipping to multi-format
radio this week, with no less than four separate remixes being serviced
to outlets nationwide. The track, produced by John Shanks (Michelle Branch,
Melissa Etheridge, Joe Cocker), enjoys eclectic and imaginative re-interpretations
by Mark Taylor (Cher, Jennifer Lopez) and electronica wizard Mike Rizzo,
a radio-edit remix by Eric Kupper (Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Jessica
Simpson), as well as an “Ultamix” remix – combining both the Mark Taylor
and Eric Kupper versions. The companion video to “Surrender” was shot in
Los Angeles, with veteran director Bille Woodruff (Celine Dion, Britney
Spears, Nelly, Fat Joe) behind the camera.
