Hooked on "Affection" and now this?.......2006-01-31

This is, by far, one of the best Compilation CDs I've heard in a long time. Lisa Stansfield has amazed me with her talent, ever since the release of "Affection" back in '90. I went shopping recently in the music store and came across "Biography" as a surprise. Having been unaware of its release, I decided to "put it in the bank" with my other upcoming purchases. 2 days later, I bought it on amazon and I don't regret it one bit. My copy is a promo, but it's got the same booklet and images as the publicly released edition.

I really like the photos of Lisa, although most of them are small thumbnails, except for 2 larger ones. Her face is beautiful and she's changed quite a bit in the past 15 years. My, has it really been that long? There are some nice little tidbits about Lisa's songs, inside the booklet. What you won't find are the lyrics, though. The interior of the booklet is white and well-designed. Simple and straight-forward and not distracting to the eye. Additionally, the disc itself is white. The recording appears to have been remastered, which makes listening all the better. Arista is a great Label. Most of the tracks are new to me...as I've only bought the "Affection" CD since discovering Lisa Stansfield. Considering "Someday (I'm coming back)" was on the "The Bodyguard" soundtrack...it's nice to find it here. It's the logical thing to do when your song is among a bunch of other material on another CD.

Buy this CD and you'll agree, it's definitely worth the money. Lisa Stansfield is right up there in the "Must Have" of pop music with Annie Lennox & all the other genius Brits.

best compilation.......2005-09-09

In the early 90s STANSFIELD was extremely popular with hits like someday , All Around The World ,In All The Right Places and so many other popular songs but by the mid 90s she seemed to fade away from the international scene infact i bought rhe bodyguard soundtrack exspecially for her songs which i feel made the soundtrack the best with a little bit of luck i feel STANSFIELD could ve been in celiene dions place today STANSFIELD had the best voice ever i feel and about this album it contains almost all her hits including someday my favorite so i m going right ahead to order this compilation right now

Excellent!!!.......2005-09-02

LISA STANSFIELD RECOUNT.......2004-11-27

Lisa Stansfield career cannot be sum in just one cd, this woman holds such talent that hurts. Her 1997 self titled release was and is one of the most classy and soulful ever to be release. So I'm sad that this collection not feature all the singles released from that album, specially "I'm Leavin'". Although for a casual fan and a pop collector this Biography will do good and it is a place to listen to her most mainstream hits and some fans favorites. Five Stars to Stansfield's voice and contribution to music industry.

One of R & B's best & most underrated singers. A+.......2004-08-18

Lisa Stansfield has one of the greatest voices in music, yet with the exception of her debut CD, her musical efforts have not received the commercial acclaim that they warranted on this side of the Atlantic. Thank God for her native UK, as the fans have supported her and allowed her to have a career on her terms. This woman can do it all with a classic R &B voice that is both explosive yet ever so subtle depending on her intent. She can handle disco and heartbreak in the same breath. And for those of you who have heard the soundtrack for "Swing," you already know that Lisa can tackle the classics like few in music can.

This release more than lives up to its title, something rarely accomplished these days. This collection highlights Lisa's greatest hits in a non-chronological order that in my opinion generally better serves greatest hits collections. Released in 2003, the collection includes her very best from 1989's "Affliction" through her 2001 release "Face Up," along with a live song with G. Michael and the living members of Queen. Although I am generally not a fan of live songs, this one hits the mark.

Hearing this collection I am reminded not only how great a singer Lisa is, but how her sound has evolved through the years. In many ways, she seems to be from another era as her best songs are always sleek yet have much grit. It would seem to be a contradictory statement but Lisa's sound stands out because of these apparent contradictions. She is at once a chanteuse in the vein of a much earlier era who also happens to be right at home with the likes of Barry White and other 1970s legends.

If you love female singers and have never been exposed to Lisa Stansfield, you should give this collection a shot. If you are already a fan but only remember her from the curly-cued girl who sand "All Around the World," you will certainly like what she has been up to since she first hit the scene. In 1997, Lisa released a self-titled CD after a 6-year absence from the music scene that made some noise here in the States, but that release (which also earns 5 stars in my book) should have been a smash. It did well enough for her record company to put out a remixes CD that did quite well. A UK edition of this release has a bonus CD with some of the better remixes of her songs, so if you are interested in those be sure to look for that release as you won't find any of those here.

P.S. for hard-core Lisa fans: I just found out via the Amazon UK site that in late September of this year Lisa will be releasing a new CD titled "The Moment." It appears that she is no longer with Arista as the site says it will be released Ztt, which may be a German label. I am not sure if it will get a US release, but I am so happy that I happened to run into this while researching some dates for this review. I hope this helps.
