On September 19th, 2024, Balenciaga will launch the latest Balenciaga Music project with the legendary Italian singer and style icon Mina. On this day a new track will be pre-released via limited-edition scannable Balenciaga Music | Mina merchandise embedded with an NFC (Near Field Communications) chip that, when activated by a compatible device, unlocks the new track. It will be available in selected Balenciaga stores worldwide and via balenciaga.com.

The preview is an exclusive opportunity to hear the first single from the artist’s forthcoming album, which will be released to the public in November

In 1978, Mina decided to leave the public eye and has not given a concert or interview since, choosing instead to focus on producing music. Her collaboration with Balenciaga marks not only the first time Mina has released new music in partnership with a brand, but also the first time she has officially collaborated with a fashion house, and, in fact, the first time she has offered official merch of any kind.

A true icon considered one of the greatest Italian singers of all time, Mina released an album a year for the past 40 years and has continuously set records with her powerful voice and versatility, embodied in an image of strength and sensuality leading fashion standards and inspiring generations of women. Her art as a singer and performer went hand in hand with her 40-year research into her image influencing culture. In her over 80 LPs recorded since 1958, she has published 1,395 songs sung in Italian, English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese and Turkish.

Mina has also crafted hundreds of different images applied to her album covers creating an artistic heritage that is often exhibited in Italian art museums and becoming one of the first musicians to deconstruct and reconstruct her persona with visual art.
