3.0 out of 5 stars Not an ideal package but still worthwhile..., April 19, 2001

This review is from: At Her Very Best (Audio CD)

Yasmine Evans burst upon the UK house music scene in the late 80's as a featured vocalist for Coldcut before striking out on her own. All the hits from the glory days are represented here, but that's when the collection begins to go south. Evidently, Yazz didn't want to be classified as just a dance diva, so she ventured into limp UK r&b (think Eternal and the other new jill swing divas from the early 90's) as well as reggae. Unfortunately, her audience didn't follow suit.

My main critcism with this collection is that is doesn't include two singles, "One True Woman" and "Abandon Me." Too many cover versions and album tracks pad out this collection, which is a shame. We also get an updated remix of "The Only Way is Up," which is nice, but again, non-essential.

19 tracks but only 7 "hits". This Universal Music compilation has all the late 80's house tracks (Doctorin' the House, The Only Way Is Up, Stand Up For Your Love Rights, Fine Time (excellent)) and then follows Yazz's slightly more hit-free career of the mid-late 90's (Where Has All The Love Gone, Treat Me Good). One notable ommission from this period is "One True Woman". That aside there are plenty of pleasant cover versions (Good Thing Going, Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime) that are certainly not tarnished with Yazz's fresh vocal, alongside a selection of album tracks, new recordings and a new remix of "The Only Way Is Up". All in all not a bad album - shame there weren't more hits really.
