Mina 2 (or Mina Due) is the tenth studio album by Italian singer Mina, released in November 1966 by Ri-Fi.
Overview
This studio work mainly consists of foreign songs performed in the original language.[2] Most of them had never been released before, with the exception of the opening song "Se non ci fossi tu", released a month earlier as a single,[3] as well as the songs "Lontanissimo (Somewhere)" and "Ebb Tide", released on the previous studio album Studio Uno 66 in July of the same year.[4]
Augusto Martelli was involved as a song arranger and conductor of his orchestra.
The album was released in November 1966 in mono sound format, but a month later it was reissued with stereo sound. It became the eighth in the sales chart.[5] The album was also distributed in Latin American countries under the name Mina 5 – El Quinto Disco de la Ùnica with a slightly changed track order, but with the same cover.[6]
Critical reception
Claudio Milano from OndaRock [it] highlighted the track "My Melancholy Baby" in the album with an exquisite Martelli arrangement and Mina's personal interpretation: "The interpreter's voice, announced by a caressing string intro, immediately flies on high frequencies, caressed with superb lightness, to become loaded with harmonics as it falls back on low and deliberately dirty frequencies, with a typically "Fitzgerald" manner that is not as soon as the brass appears to thunder. While the strings retain an almost fairy-tale dimension, the singing shows off a palette of colors that transfigures every word into a thousand of a thousand. It is a continuous up and down: in high gracefulness, on the low frequencies a support of the orchestral crescendos. There is also room for a trumpet solo, supported by repetitions on the piano. Mina closes with a unique elegance of timbre and phrasing. Pure enchantment".[7]
