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]

The album is an example of Miguel Bosé's innovative style; with Velvetina he blended Latin pop music with trip hop and electronic dance. Speaking of producing this album he said "Fue un trabajo muy interesante y estimulante, vamos, un reto." (It was interesting and stimulating work, yes, a challenge).[3] Personnel include Miguel Bosé as the main vocalist and instrumentalist, with Helen De Quiroga doing backup vocals and Antonio Cortés playing various instruments on the album.[4]
