Overview
A special edition of the album, titled Mina Celentano – Buon Natale, was released during the Christmas season packaged with a CD-ROM titled “Molly e destino solitario” featuring an animated video of Che t’aggia di.
18 years later, in 2016, Mina and Celentano recorded a second collaborative album called Le Migliori (“the best ones”, in reference to a quote by Celentano describing their collaboration).
Lucio Battisti was initially attached to the project but he eventually dropped out.
The album was recorded in Galbiate and Lugano and was produced by Massimiliano Pani.
The album spawned two singles, Acqua e sale and Brivido felino. Mina would later record Spanish versions of both songs with different male singers, respectively Miguel Bosé and Diego Torres).
