Two Great Duets
I’m not a big fan of two different solo artists singing in the same song (duets) nor the Italian singer Laura Pausini, but funny enough two of my favourite Italian songs are duets with Laura Pausini ! So ahead of an upcoming post on Italy and as its the weekend, here are two songs for you to enjoy.
The first one is Sei Solo Tu which is really a song by Nek with an appearance by Laura Pausini. Nek by the way is my favourite Italian singer and this song was released back in 2002.
The second song is actually very recent and was playing on the radio while I was last in Italy. It’s called Primavera in Anticipo by Laura Pausini with James Blunt (so there are some English lyrics for those who have to have them :) )
Apart from being two great songs, its the contrast of voices which actually adds to these songs. In each song both voices complement the other really well. And I think that this is the secret of a good duet. What do you think?

I have heard Nek’s song , but I was not aware of the duet between James Blunt and the Italian singer. Both songs are good.
I first heard about Nek from a certain Juventus fan ……… please say Hi to him if you see him.
I don’t may people are aware of the James Blunt song, but it was a big hit in Italy. The Juve fan is in a bad mood after Saturday’s result !
Why are these two songs not on my i-pod?!?!?! You always seem to hold back on some ! The second song i heard before (really nice), but the first one by Nek is amazing….good songs, took a break in my office and listened to them, they put a smile on my face (which rarely happens in the office here)..Thanks Bro
Glad the songs did the trick (I’m sure others in the office are also happy that you are in a good mood :) ) I never get tired of listening to that Nek song…it really is great.
But I can’t give you ALL the good songs at once :)They’ll be on the next CD I make for you.
Wallah Mix, having seen the 2nd video, I never realized that Raul Gonzales (R.Madrid striker) was a pretty decent singer as well…multi talented that guy!!! But seriously, I need a copy of Le Cose Da Defendere (shrayek my Italian, hathreen :-) lol
Now that you mention it, he does look like Raul ! I wonder if he kisses his wedding ring every time he finishes a song..
8/10 for your Italian, 10/10 for your choice of music :)
Are you serious? How can you be a fan of Italian music/songs and NOT love LAURA PAUSINI??? She is an AMAZING singer, with SO MUCH talent. She’s a great Italian singer & an amazing Latin singer. Plus she sings well with many singers: Andrea Boceli, Gilberto Gil, Juanes, Luis Fonsi, Michael Buble, Miguel Bose, Ray Charles, Tiziano Ferro and others!!! I have EVERY album of hers, in Italian & Spanish!!! You should really give her more of a chance…Vive La Pauisni!!!
I just think that her best songs are the duets, its the way her voice complements other singers. Maybe I should giver her solo stuff a chance..
