Foothills
Higher than 22% of albums we've rated

Strong songs and vocal performances carry the collection, but its cross-period hit sequence has little album-level shape or identity of its own.

What we noticed

  • It opens with “Brava,” then moves straight to “Se telefonando” and “E se domani,” placing three sharply contrasting vocal showcases at the front.
  • The 18-track sequence strings together familiar songs from different periods rather than building a new arc; “La banda” closes the set.
  • The arrangements give Mina’s vocal lines the foreground, from the orchestral sweep of “Se telefonando” to the brisker pulse of “La banda.”

Influence 1/10

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
