Veteran Italian singer, Mina has released this lovely duet with Manuel Agnelli from the group Afterhours.
It’s called “Adesso è facile” or “now it’s easy”, and has a complex polyphony but an overall impression of pared-back, almost folk style with some lovely string elements.
I haven’t heard this kind of focus on instrumentation in a while, particularly from an Italian singer, and it’s very refreshing.
The single is part of Mina’s new album “E’ facile”, which includes 12 new songs, including “Carne Viva” or “Living Flesh” (video after the jump).
Mina is certainly a diva from the Italian music scene, with a distinctive voice and low, powerful timbre, she’s been around since the early 60’s at least.
After an original re-interpretation ten years ago from Mina on the Afterhours song “Dentro Marilyn”, which became “Tre volte dentro di me”, this is the first collaboration between the two.
The single “Non e’ facile” will be on the Italian radio from today.
