Grignani, Luca Authorize Legal Counsel Over Laura Pausini Cover They Say Distorts Their Song

Pausini says the cover had all required permissions.

Overview

  • The songwriters announced on September 19 that they mandated lawyer Giorgio Tramacere to protect the integrity of 'La mia storia tra le dita'.
  • They contend Pausini's version altered the original text and overturned the song's meaning.
  • Pausini responded that she followed the necessary procedures to secure authorization and that Grignani was fully aware of the project.
  • The cover was released on September 12 and appears on Pausini's album Io canto 2.
  • Public reaction has split between support for interpretive freedom and calls to preserve an author's intended meaning.
