Album Notes: 'Heartbeats' is a career-spanning compilation of hits by gravel-voiced singer-songwriter Chris Rea. Having spent a hugely successful career crafting driving blues-pop songs of the highest calibre, this long-overdue collection is the perfect introduction to the work of one of Britain's greatest songwriters. Includes the singles 'Lets Dance' and 'Fool (If You Think It's Over)'.
Advantages: Good driving music, good listening music Disadvantages: Can't think of any
...or the world around us, ChrisRea's type of music is thought provoking and deep in places, it makes me take a step back from daily life and look into myself which is a good thing.
Oh, it cost me £3 on eBay, I haven't seen this album in stores like Woolworths or Tescos who sell a lot of cd's but you might find it in a music store. The reccommended price is much higher £15.99 but there are cheaper copies on Amazon too. It is a compilation of ChrisRea's best hits and was put together in 2001 by Magnet Records Ltd. but a lot of them are on other albums by the artist.
Thanks for reading.

By the time I put CD 2 on I was drunk enough to let it play through, me screeching the karaoke renditions much to the neighbours dismay. This CD gets a bit smoochie. It's no on a regular list for me but it will get a good dusting off on the occasional romantic nights.
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Madonna - Like a Prayer
George Michael Feat. Elton John - Don't let the Sun Go...

Advantages: 20 tracks on one CD! Disadvantages: I Know Him So Well missed off, all slow songs together at end.
...great party song – great vocals from the girls and with all the makings of a classic. Sounds like something you’ve heard a million times before, but ten times better!
4 - Better Best Forgotten – This song, not actually liked by the group, is actually very good, although perhaps a poor man’s One For Sorrow.
5 - Love’s Got A Hold On My Heart – Takes a few listens to really enjoy, but again, a classic from the last few years.
6 - Deeper Shade Of Blue – Many critics have said this is the best track on the album, and was criminally underrated when released as a single (it reached number 4). It was featured on the album Steptacular however, which by the point of this release had sold around 1 million copies, quite deservedly. This song is certainly a Steps greatesthit.
7 - Last Thing On My Mind...
