Sorelle Lumière is a double studio album by Italian singer Mina, released on 24 October 1992 by PDU and distributed by EMI Italiana.
Overview
The album draws inspiration and pays homage to the Lumière brothers. The cover image sees the singer transformed into a film projector with two coils instead of hair, the gears in the brain and the images that arise from the eyes. The images on the inside of the disc sleeve sees Mina become "dark" and, looking in the mirror, notice a "M" drawn on her back, quote of the film M by Fritz Lang.[2] The album's artwork was created by Mauro Baletti.[3]
The song "Neve", which opens with a Gregorian chant, sees the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration between Mina and Audio2. The song was also produced a short promotional video which featured Platinette [it] as Rita Hayworth from The Lady from Shanghai, repeating the famous scene of the shooting in the mirror.[4][5]
The album also covers three songs, "Come stai", "Non avere te" and "Robinson", originally released on Massimiliano Pani’s debut album, L'occasione (1991).[6] "Come stai" was re-recorded as a duet with Pani for this album.
Sorelle Lumière debuted on the Italian album chart at number five and peaked at number four the following week, then continued to remain in the top ten for another seven weeks. In total, it spent sixteen weeks on the chart.[7] It also peaked at number sixty on the European albums chart.[8]
Critical reception
Mario Luzzatto Fegiz from Corriere della Sera noted that "If the first volume is elegant, intense", then the second volume is a "a firework of unpredictable invention, of complex stories, twisted, men who do not understand, of women who suffer, they get bored, they dream".[9] La Stampa contributor Marinella Venegoni also wrote that in the first volume there is "more diverse and suffused atmospheres velvety", and in the second part "the broad melodies are full of sadness, moans of desperate women and love".[10]
In 2018, Rolling Stone magazine placed it on the ninth place in the list of the most underrated Mina's albums.[11]
