Velvetina is an album released in 2005[1] by the Spanish-Italian singer Miguel Bosé. Bosé has not yet made it clear whether the name was inspired by the Australian-manufactured decorative finish that describes itself as "a strong, fine-grained decorative plaster finish with a distinctive velvety appearance". The album was released in Spain as an audio CD, and as a special edition for the Creative Zen which featured audio, a video clip for each of the 13 songs and photography.[2]
