Mónica Naranjo

Spaniard Mónica Naranjo pays tribute to one of her major influences, Italian diva Mina, covering her greatest hits with lyrics translated by Jose Manuel Navarro. Minage was recorded in London and Lugano, having contributions from Mina's son Massimiliano Pani while talented Phil Manzanera and Cristóbal Sansano teamed up as producers. This 13-track record features a superb duet performance on "El Se Encuentra Entre Tú y Yo," Latin pop "Sobreviviré," romantic ballads "Ahora, Ahora," and "Siempre Fuiste Mio," and the English-language dance/pop song "If You Leave Me Now." Minage achieved platinum status in Spain the day it was released. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
