Usually when people see “best of” it means that the artist/group is about to disappear from the music scene. Not in this case. This is a celebration of the 10 years that Sweetbox have been around. So what is on the CD? Well, it mainly features songs from the albums done by the current frontwoman, Jade Villalon, but the European version also features the songs Booyah(Here we go) and Shakalaka. There is a new version of the 1998 classic Everything’s Gonna be Alright, European versions of Killing me DJ and Here on my own(Lighter Shade of Blue), alternative versions of For the Lonely, Everytime, Crazy and Cinderella plus a previously unreleased song, Tour de France.
Overall
For a best of album, it isn’t so bad. The mixture of songs is good, but if the truth be told, Europe didn’t get the best deal. Japan received a different track listing and got more new songs while the Korean version basically also got the Jade: Silver album as they received another CD with acoustic versions of some songs. Basically for fans it means having to order in CDs from other countries in order to have all the songs. Other than that, a lovely compilation, if only lacking in older songs from the groups history
Rating: 4.5/5
