Essential Collection, The - Amalia Rodrigues

Advantages: chilled out happy tunes
Disadvantages: variety of artists not just R&B

...I loved this CD collection, it has a fantastic range of artists on it, which allows for the CD to appeal to all diffent types of individuals, it says that it is am essential R&B collection yet i woul say that some of the variety of songs are also Hip Hop and possibly slightly dance tracks. Fantastic for singing along to when your in the car, exspecially in this nice weather. Containes a mix of various tracks from present day, back to the some oldies such as Bobbi Brown, which is always good to hear from time to time. Has some classic's from Destinys child to Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys, this CD collection gives off a positive happy vibe, which is what we all need when the summer is on its way.... Read review

Advantages: Nice collection
Disadvantages: Not a love collection, just good R & B

...The essential R & B collection is a good complilation but I wouldnt necessarily call it a love collection.Its the kind of cd to listen to when ironing or driving.Some songs obviously suit the title,love collection and this includes NSYNC,Wayne Wonder,Aaliyah,Alicia Keys,Toni Braxton among others.But Eamon with F**k It? Other songs like R Kelly's hands of time are for reminiscing the good old times and what could have been not whats happening at the moment.Maybe if the songs could have been numbered differently it could have made a difference with the love songs in one cd and the others in the next.Its a good mix of the old and the new with Justin Timberlake,Warren G,2 pac and Dr Dre but I wouldnt consider it when planning a cosy night in.Nice collection though....

Advantages: Has a wide variety of songs
Disadvantages: Some songs are not exactly love songs and dont really create a romantic mood

...The essential R&B collection is a very good collection of love songs. they offer songs from various artists and while a few dont really qualify as love songs most of them really set up a romantic atmosphere. This CD is perfect for a candlelight dinner or any other special event you have for that special someone. It also has songs which are perfect if you want to ask a girl to a dance and need that song. However, be wary of the lyrics because many songs are ment for spouses rather than couples. Overall a very good CD. If you are looking for an extremely large amount of slow romantic songs than this collection definately delivers. I definately reccomend this CD.... Read review
