Full review
I brought this song for something to chill out to, and was expecting a CD full of chilled out lovey dovey songs. Obviously, the most well known songs were love songs. To give you an example of some of the newer songs on the CD, there was the Pussycat Dolls Stick Wit U and Akon's Lonely (wouldn't really class this as a love song, but close enough). Then of course, you've got the older stuff such as Usher's My Boo, and R Kelly's Bump and Grind, a personal favourite of mine!

To be honset, when I brought the CD I didn't even read the contents of the second disk - I'd already seen the CD advertised and thought I knew whast was on it. I was suprised to find things such as Beyonce's Crazy in love, for those of you who don't know it, it's a loud, summery tune which I definetly don't class as a love song! Also on the second disk was Amerie's '1 Thing'. Now this suprised me, as it is one of the songs that constantly was on in nightclubs last year!! So I was amazed that it had found it's way on to what i thought was about to be a slow and meaingful collection of chilled out love songs!

Now, for the actual love songs, you've of course got to have Marvin Gaye's Let's Get it On, I'm so glad that the CD ends on this song so it leaves it on a good note. For other classics you've got a bit of Luther Vandross and also Boyz II Men, Toni Braxton and The Fugees. These are the sort of songs that I thought would fill the whole album, to be honest with you, although some of the newer songs (such as ushers Burn) were refreshing, songs such as the Black Eyes Peas (Don't Phunk with My Heart) really just ruined the feel of the CD.

I must admit I hadn't heard of some of the songs on the album and assumed that they would be some of the older, slower love songs. I was wrong (Mary Mary - Shackles?!)

Just when you think the CD is getting somewhere, when tracks go from Bobby Valentino to Luther Vandross, Ashanti , Toni Braxtion and then Lemar, Joe's 'Ride Wit U' pops up from no where and kills the mood.

Although the tracks on the CD are definetly varied, it seems like the makers forgot they were compiling a love CD halfway through and started popping in bestsellers instead! A good buy though if your after some good tunes.
