Music reviews of Very Best of

Music Review: Why do stars like her fall?
Rating: 4 Stars

Alannah Myles is the woman who gave us one of the most wonderful bluesrockers/powerballads of all time, "Black Velvet". Yup, this is the song she is famous for. But what a shame! She got more music worth listening too, and thats why this greatest hits cd was released.

***NOTE***
Either this release on Amazon is an old one, Amazon made a mistake or I got a special version, because this version only have 12 songs, while the one I own have 15 songs. Its the same cover, same name, its the same cd, but different versions. Could be different releases in US and Europe.
The songs lacking on this release is: "Great Divide", "What are we waiting for" and "You love who you love". I`ll mark them with a (*).

I choose to review the version I got, since it contains all the songs on this, plus the 3 above.
***NOTE END***

It was no surprise that "Black Velvet" is numero uno on the record, but hey, its her best!
Two medicore songs follow, "Breaking the Silence" and the directly bad "Everybody`s breaking up".
"Love is" is a catchy song which sounds both fresh and rocky. Great!
Then one of the sweet ballads comes, "Song instead of a Kiss", this is one of her best ballads, and you will be surprised of what you missed when you hear this. I dont know what to compare it too, it sounds so typical her, yet alike someone else. Wonderful song....which makes way to an even better song,
"Sonny Say you will" This could have been a Cher song, and it does really have that haunting feeling, a wonderful beat, just crank up the volume and float on the bass.
"Our World Our time" is a fast, upbeat and moody rocker. I love the chorus, perfect driving music.
"Long, Long time" is a sweet ballad, is sounds sad. The unusal use of drums makes it seem strange, but it is neverthless pretty good.
"Great Divide"(*) An Accustic song, the blues shines thru here. A less good song, nothing to be sad if you missed.
"Family Secret" It sounds like Tina Turner style! R&B combined with an unusual text.
"Lover of Mine" Ah the ballad of all times. Alannah`s best ballad, often used on Power Ballad collections if "Black Velvet" is already used. This had all the thing it needed to be a smash-hit. The melody is dead on, the chorus is wonderful and the text is beautiful. Love it.
"Bad 4 you" This song is so sweet, its impossible not to love it! Co-written with one of my favoriteproducers, Desmond Child, its the second best song on the record after "Black Velvet". Catchy, accustic feel, with a sing along chorus.
"What are we waiting for"(*) A Duet with a male singer, although I havent found his name. The song is pretty good!
"You love who you love"(*) A relaxed song, its hard to say anything special about it. There is nothing wrong with it, but there is nothing special either.
"Still got this Thing" The last song on the album. It had the potential of being great, and it isnt that bad. A decent rocker where Alannah has great voice.

Although she doesnt have any other major hits than Black Velvet, this compilation clearly shows that she deserves more radioplay. Bad 4 you, Lover of Mine and Sonny Say you will should make quite a few more fans of her, as they are really great songs. Otherwise this cd does only contain one really bad song, and that`s "Everybody`s breaking Up". It just doesnt fit. But look past it, and love Alannah Myles. Maybe one day she will return. Lets pray for her, and keep asking ourselves, Why do stars like her....fall?
