Lisa Stansfield is my favorite artist by far. Let's make that perfectly clear from the start. On this, a remix compilation of her fourth, self titled album, Lisa and Hosh Gureli (A&R man at Arista at the time of release; apparently he pushed hard for this album to happen for her club/gay fans and THANK GOD!!) recruit the likes of Frankie Knuckles (who had done her sublime "Change" remix in 1991), Junior Vasquez, Hani, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Victor Calderone, K-Klass, Hex Hector and more!! The result: HOTTTTTTTT versions of everything from Lisa's original smash hit "People Hold On" to new classics like "Never Gonna Fall" and "I'm Leavin'".. Needless to say, four of these remixes reached #1 on the Billboard Dance chart, making Lisa Stansfield one of the most successful dance artists of all time (when you add this tally to her previous #1 hits like "All Around The World", "This Is The Right Time" and the aforementioned "Change". Note to fans: the U.K. release of this cd has different cover art and also contains one added remix of "The Real Thing" (a must have clocking in at more than eleven minutes) by Mark Pichiotti. Pick it up now and savor her amazing voice, tight beats and deep grooves! Long live Lisa Stansfield, "Queen Of Dance Music"!!
