Terence Trent D'Arby Album: “Do You Love Me Like You Say: The Very Best of Tere”

Description :

Personnel: Terence Trent D'Arby (vocals); Des'ree (vocals). <p>Recording information: 1989 - 1995. <p>Terence Trent D'Arby burst onto the scene in the 1980s with a mixture of R&B, funk, rock, soul, and pop that sounded unique and totally familiar at once. Unfortunately, D'Arby never followed up his breakthrough album with increasingly solid efforts. While the hit singles from his 1987 debut, INTRODUCING THE HARDLINE ACCORDING TO TERENCE TRENT D'ARBY, made that album a million seller, his follow-ups suffered from lack of focus and over-ambition. <p>His erratic career trajectory makes a well-assembled compilation the perfect D'Arby purchase, and DO YOU LOVE ME LIKE YOU SAY fits the bill. Featuring 17 tracks, this best-of not only covers the well-known hits ("Wishing Well," "Sign Your Name"), but pulls the finest moments from his second, third, and fourth releases, and includes remixes, B-sides, collaborations, and live tracks. The mix--varied, catchy, intriguing--shows D'Arby for the talented musical eccentric he is.

I bought this CD for two songs but after listening to it...the whole thing is great!

T Trent d'Arby is a fantastic artist. My only regret is that I attempted to download the mp3 of his newst creation, Vampires & ?. Sorry I don't remember the entire title. I was just disappointed that I could not order it here in the states. I know he relocated out of the states but I still feel we should promote his music, he is one of the greatest musicians of my lifetime.
