Music reviews of The Best of Billie
Music Review: Piper Primer
Rating: 5 Stars
Anyone looking for an introduction to Billie Piper's music (especially American fans of her acting who were unaware of her brief teen pop stardom) might want to make this disk their first stop. The fifteen-track collection includes her seven UK singles: "Because We Want To," "Girlfriend," "She Wants You," and "Honey to the Bee," (all from her first CD, Honey to the B); "Day & Night," "Something Deep Inside," and "Walk of Life" (all from her second CD, Walk of Life). Also of interest to the serious Piper collector are three non-CD b-sides, "First Love," "GHETTOUT," and "Caress the Gold."
The remaining songs are non-single CD tracks: "The Tide is High" (slated to be the fourth single from Walk of Life), "Party on the Phone," "I Dream," "Bring it On," and "Promises." Of this group, only "I Dream" and "Bring it On" aren't up to the standards of the other tracks, and it's nothing short of criminal that "Love Groove," "Don't Forget to Remember," and especially "Misfocusing" were left off this collection. Still, The Very Best of Billie is an excellent cross-section of Piper's work: funky, danceable synth-pop odes to love, sex, teenage independence, and just plain old fun. Piper may not have the sheer vocal power of, say, Christina Aguilera, but she can more than hold her own against the Britneys, Jessicas, and Mandys who cluttered up the music scene in the late '90s and early '00s--and in many ways, Piper's work is more versatile and intelligently crafted. In fact, the only reason why Piper probably never broke in the States is that we already had a surfeit of similar (if inferior) teenage female pop starlets. Our loss.
Listeners who find The Very Best of Billie to their liking should seek out her full-length CDs to pick up the songs omitted from this collection. Hardcore fans may also want to add as many of her CD singles as they can locate, not only for the remixes and non-CD b-sides but for the attractive posters that are often included. Some of these are already hard to find, and if Piper never returns to music, they'll only become more rare with the passing years.
Description of The Best of Billie
In 1998 a 15 year old female singer named Billie Piper took the UK's music scene by storm with her hit single 'Because We Want To'. When the contagious pop song made it to the number one spot on the charts, it made Piper the youngest solo artist to reach that goal. This brand new collection is the only one available featuring all Billy's hits: 3 #1s, 3 Top Tens and a Top 30 chart hit. 15 tracks in all. EMI. 2005.Dance & DJ CDs
