Laura Pausini released a new interpretation of Raf’s Siamo soli nell’immenso vuoto che c’è on Friday 4 September, putting a long-held recording into the spotlight just weeks before her World Tour 2026/2027 resumes. The song, first published in 1991 and written by Raffaele Riefoli and Beppe Dati, arrives with a new arrangement by Paolo Carta and a video directed by Gaetano Morbioli.
The timing matters because this is not a standalone release. The World Tour 2026/2027, Pausini’s eleventh world tour, already has 450,000 tickets sold worldwide and many dates are sold out, so the new single lands as part of a major live cycle rather than as a one-off surprise.
Pausini said the track was among the first prepared for the new project, but she chose to keep it under wraps until the eve of the Italian and European leg. She tied the song to one of her earliest musical memories, saying she is a great fan of Raf, that the first concert of her life was his, and that she later sang a duet with him on her first album. That personal link helps explain why she did not treat the release like a routine catalog update.
The videoclip adds another layer to the rollout. Filmed in Toronto and directed by Morbioli, it shows Pausini wearing white feather wings made by a Canadian costumist, a detail that gives the release a more theatrical frame than a simple audio drop. She had already previewed the song on 30 August at the Sneak Peek Fan Club Party in Ravenna, where more than 3,000 members of the Laura Pausini Official Fanclub heard the full European setlist and saw the new single performed live for the first time.
That early reveal makes the late public release easier to read: Pausini was not hiding the song because it lacked weight, but because she wanted it to land at the moment the tour machine was about to move again. The World Tour 2026/2027 restarts on 1 October from Pala Unical in Mantova with the first date zero, followed by a second date on 2 October, before moving through Milano, Stoccarda, Oberhausen, Zurigo, Torino, Lisbona, Bruxelles, Lussemburgo, Nizza, Ginevra, Bologna and Firenze.
For Pausini, the release now serves as both a tribute and a signal. She has linked a 1991 song to a tour that is already selling heavily and stretching into 2027, which means the single is doing more than filling the gap between dates: it is setting the tone for the next phase of the run, starting in Mantova and building toward the rest of the schedule.
