Last October, the lovely swiss singer Mina teamed up with british DJ Brando Walker for the stunning track “Broken Boy“, a dancefloor-ready disco-inspired remix of a previously unreleased song of hers. Now, the artist released her own rendition of “Broken Boy”, and it’s a fascinating comparison to make.
Mina’s own version of the track leans in fully on the vulnerability portrayed by the storytelling, backed by a soft production with touches of jazz and R&B. The original song runs smoothly and highlights the artist’s remarkable vocal performance, oscillating between sadness and strength with powerful emotions pouring out with every word. There is an intensity that can be felt in this girl’s vocals that makes itself even more present in this stripped-back version, it’s absolutely stunning from start to finish.
“Broken Boy (Sad Girl Version)” is a ballad rooted in heartache and sorrow, made perfect by the artist’s expressive vocal delivery and universal themes. Tackling the difficulties and challenges of modern relationships, and self-discovery, Mina’s original track stands as a timeless classic that feels reminiscent of Norah Jones’s Come Away With Me. “This version really lets the story breathe”, the artist herself says before concluding with a heartfelt statement: “It’s about understanding when it’s time to step away and let someone heal on their own. Sometimes love is about letting go”.
Listening to both renditions of the song is a thrilling experience, and it’s absolutely great that she decided to show us what the original “Broken Boy” sounded like. It really comes to show that when the songwriting is this good any kind of production works, because the star is Mina herself.
The London-based singer is quickly establishing herself as a versatile artist, capable of portraying emotions and feelings with truth and openness no matter what setting she is in. “Broken Boy (Sad Girl Version)” stands as a gorgeous track, featuring her best performance yet – and cementing Mina as someone who you should definitely keep your eye on, once and for all.
