Full review
Unfortunately, the publicity given to his name changes seems to have somewhat overshadowed the music. Many dismiss him as the lubricious elf that changed his name to 'squiggle' but the songs, including 'Nothing compares 2u' (a previously unreleased live version featuring Rosie Gaines), '1999', 'Diamonds and Pearls' and 'When Doves Cry' are easy to love. Lasting just over an hour and a quarter in total, 11 or 12 of the 18 tracks are well known and the remaining six are just as timeless. I would recommend this collection to anyone with an appreciation for musical talent. Consistently dazzling.
