(2004)"From the Inside" is Italian singer-songwriter
Laura Pausini 'sEnglish language debut album issued byAtlantic Records in 2002.The album
The album contains twelve tracks and the most of the songs are classifiable with the pop genre, even if there's the "space" for some other genres such as in "Love Comes From The Inside" and "I Do 2 Be". Two songs were first released in Italian and Spanish in former albums: "It's Not Goodbye" and "Everyday Is A Monday". The latter was originally written in English and adapted later into Italian and Spanish, even if it was first released in these languages. Important songwriters appear in the credits of the album, such as
Andreas Carlsson ,K. C. Porter , but above all longtime Madonna's collaboratorPatrick Leonard . Therecording company (Atlantic Records ) promoted the single "Surrender" more as a dance song (helped by the severalremix es of the song) than a pop song. In this way, "Surrender" was able to reach #1 in theBillboard 'sHot Dance Club Play . The same happened for the second single "If that's love". In January2003 the album was released inEurope as well.Despite all Pausini's efforts, the album did not get the success it deserved in the
United States . The reasons can be found in an incorrect promotion strategy followed byAtlantic Records which promoted the album as a dance album. That choice was disliked by Laura Pausini, who asked to have a meeting with then Atlantic's president. During the meeting she asked him to have "From the Inside" promoted in line with her artistic style, i.e. the style of anAdult contemporary singer. After receiving a refusal to that request, Laura Pausini threatened to drop the whole plan, but Atlantic did not believe her. Anyway Laura Pausini, very self-confident due to the fact that she already got a lot of success inEurope andLatin America , kept her promise and went back toItaly , leaving "From the Inside" to its destiny. The promotion of the album went on in Europe for some months.Track listing
