After weeks of back and forth Laura Pausini and Gianluca Grignani, regarding the cover version”My story is in your fingers” of the singer, the two have reached an agreement. Gianluca Grignani claims that his historic song will be modified without his consent.
Warner Chappell, the song’s publishing company, announced “has resolved positively with Gianluca Grignani and Massimo Luca (other authors of the work, ed.) the controversy arising from the modification of the text of the work ‘My story between my fingers’ in the published version of Laura Pausini. The agreement was reached through an agreement whereby the authors would allow the version to remain on the market.”
In conclusion, “all parties expressed satisfaction with the results obtained”.
It all started last July when Laura Pausini announced the project’s anticipated first single “I Sing 2“, will be the cover of “La mia storia tra le dita” by Gianluca Grignani both in the Italian version and in the Spanish and Portuguese versions. Grignani had commented on the singer’s post claiming paternity, noting he would not be quoted. Shortly thereafter, other news that shook the soul and the record company: “La mia storia tra le dita” will also be sung by Matteo Bocelli and in a duet with the original author of the song.
Grignani then stated that he was ready to take legal action against his colleague. The note released to the media reads as follows: “Recalling the public reaction expressed via social media to the release of the cover of ‘La mia storia tra le dita’ by Laura Pausini last September 12, the authors Gianluca Grignani and Massimo Luca, noting the distortion that occurred in the original text of the song and the resulting reversal of meaning, they mandate lawyers. Giorgio Tramacere to protect the integrity of their work at every location”.
Pausini has always maintained that he followed all the necessary steps, adding that Grignani was fully informed about the operation from the start. Then final agreement and peace.
