Songs In The Name Of Love - Various Artists

Advantages: Great mix of artists and well known tunes
Disadvantages: Maybe needed more female artists, popular r'n'b stars

...2 Disc Set, with 40 tracks so you can't really go wrong here. It's kind of a mix of the old and the new love songs, but still some timeless tracks from artists like Mary Mary, Aliyah, 2Pac, Anita baker, Toni Braxton and others. The kinds of songs everyone knows. Some lovers tunes and some more faster paced. With Lemar, Wayne Wonder, Akon, Ashanti, Mya, India Arie, as well known young stars of now. But it would have been nice to have seen some younger and newer R'n'B stars that are playing in the clubs at the moment and also maybe a bigger selection of female vocalists like Khelis, Brandy, Ne-Yo, Omarion and others. Still the tracks are a good mix with tunes like My Boo, Usher and Alicia Keys, Satisfaction, Eve, Cry me a River, Justin Timberlake, Sweet Love, Anita Baker, On and On Eryka Badu and lots more....

Advantages: All the classics,and some you had forgotten about in one place
Disadvantages: You have got to be in the mood for it

...Not just another compilation album. I actually enjoyed listening to this track,I feel it had substance and some really soppy love songs I havent heard in ages. I feel this album is suitable for almost anyone,its got some cracking tunes on there such as Stay (I Missed You) - Lisa Loeb and Tiny Dancer - Elton John to name but a few.I also feel this album was fun to lsiten to,as you could guess whats tracks matched upto which film (unless of course you cheated and just looked on the back) Either way this album provides all the great love songs all in one place,saving you time and effort in searching around for those tracks that you like listening to or the one of that film that you can never remember what its called. Either way I am starting to babble a little bit now,but what I am trying to get across is that this album is good value... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic Full-Length Dance Classics
Disadvantages: A few substandard fillers...

...of that whole "whoa - yeah" thing... 9. "Must bee the music" - King Bee Remarkably similar to their "Back by Dope Demand", with a little Monie Love sample... 10. "Got to be real" - Cheryl Lynn Cheryl Lynn won the US television "Pop Idol" stlye talent show The Gong Show in 1976. This song first came out in 1978, but this is a timeless classic. 11. "Roadblock" - Stock, Aitken and Waterman (Rare groove version) Remember everyone though this was sone "Rage Groove" classic ? And it turned out to be good old SAW ? Fantastic 12. "Why" - Carly Simon (extended version) This version of the1982 original was a real balearic anthem in those early ibiza days. Just imagine listening to this as the sun sets at Cafe Del Mar..... La de dah de dah... 13. "A little sensitivity" - Lavine Hudson They saved the best 'till last. Another fantastic... Read review
