| “ | Amazon.com Best of Basia introduced me to this Polish diva with the luscious voice and personality. No, I don't know the lady, never saw her in concert or in a video, don't even know how to pronounce her last name, but her personality shines through every song as clearly as her charming accent. One listens to her and is fairly certain that she would be delightful company. She is completely herself, a genuine article, and that can be said of few recording artists today. Her style is eclectic, but dance rhythms are prevalent, often Brazilian or Latin. She sings best in a lower register and on many songs is multi-tracked in seductive harmonies. "Cruising for Bruising" is a danceable, optimistic and perfect song about second chances in love. It is so nice and bouncy you want to play twice every time you hear it; "Drunk on Love" is another happy dance tune about the serendipity of finding love when you least expect it. "Waters of March" is a quiet samba about the changes in nature by Antonio Carlos Jobim, one of the inventors of popular bossa nova. "Yearning" is a beautiful and contemplative love song. "New Day for You" is probably my favorite, with a strong Latin-dance beat and a fiery hot organ backing. Finally, the live versions of "From Now On" and "Half a Minute" introduce a less packaged Basia but every bit as polished in what must have been an exciting live show. Having listened to samples of the earlier releases from which this is drawn, I think this is probably the best collection of her work. I have described my favorites - you might choose others, but there is not a wrong note in here. | ” |
