Unlike an album of just one artist, compliation albums are meant to capture the best songs of artists and put them together under one theme. This double album does it well if you go in for the slow, sensual side of R & B.
The first album kicks of with burn by Usher, a very good first choice. In fact, most of the first album reflects some very good artists like Whitney Houston, Destiny's Child, Justin Timberlake and R. Kelly each singing some of their best tracks. Each of the songs are unique in their own right but successfully do fit together well when listening to it as a full album. My only queries for this would be the ending track of Eamon '**** you right back'... Could be just me but this isn't very romantic :p
The second album is also good containing the infamous fugees 'ready or not', old school Bobby Brown 'two can play that game' and heart tugging Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful'. Yet my only reservation is that the album doesn't really fill the criteria of being a love album; where are boys to men? or Luther Vandross? Or any other of the infamous romantic R & B singers. In this respect it was a little disappointing. However, as an overall CD, it's good. If you like the featured artists, buy it. It's easy on the ears - definitely one that can be played in the background.
