Music reviews of Greatest Hits
Music Review: This Collection is OK, but could be MUCH Better!
Rating: 3 Stars
I am a World Music DJ who specializes in African dance music. I love Brenda Fassie- her voice is amazing- and I especially like the 5 or so CD's she released just before her untimely death. This compilation has a lot of her earlier material, which in my opinion is of much inferior quality compared to her later releases- especially when it comes to pumping up the dancefloor energy. When she died, in tribute I compiled my own Best of Brenda collection, and it looks vastly different than this one.
Here is the songlist of the compilation I made which I entitled "Ascension to Ectasy" which begins with her Africa-wide (and to a lesser extent world-wide) hit Vuli Ndela. From there I move on to lesser known songs that nevertheless are real shakers on the dancefloor.
So, here is what a Best of Brenda collection SHOULD look like...
(Song titles follow, with name of album in parentheses)
1. Vuli Ndela (Memeza)
2. Duma Duma (Myekeleni)
3. Ngik' Tholile (Mina
4. Baxakekile Oxam' (Myekeleni)
5. Kesiyile Bana Baka (Myekeleni)
6. Lekwaito (Mina Nawe)
7. Monate (Amadlozi)
8. Sgubu se Zion (Myekeleni)
9. Mpundulu (Nomakanjani?)
10. Akushesh' Akusheshe (Paparazzi)
11. Thola Amadlozi (Amadlozi)
12. Nomakanjani? (Nomakanjani?)
13. Ngohlala Ngi Nje (Mina Nawe)
14. Mama, I'm Sorry (Myekeleni)
-Nuff Said.

Description of Greatest Hits
20 songs from the two-decade career of one of the world's music greats, including 'Vulin'dlela' which was voted 'Song of the Decade' by the South African music industry. EMI. 2004.Brenda Fassie, whom Time once called "the Madonna of the Townships," was one of South Africa's most beloved pop icons. She was born in Cape Town, moving to Johannesburg's Soweto township while in her early teens. Her first solo hit, Weekend Special, was an international sensation but fame arrived before she was mature enough to handle it. Her private life was marred by drug-and-alcohol-induced problems and abusive relationships. After years of alternating obscurity and comebacks, she released Memeza (Shout), followed by a string of hit albums. It seemed that all was finally well with her but she died in May 2004 at age 39. Like Janis Joplin and Judy Garland, Fassie lived and sang hard enough for ten during her short life. Traditionalists should note that the mainstream was her habitat. But her voice was an exquisite force of nature and her songs were the soundtrack of a generation. --Christina Roden
