5.0 out of 5 stars Great Overview Of An Underrated Vocalist, January 24, 2002

By 

Chris S. "cscotts" (atlanta, ga United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)

Though it escaped many, UK vocalist Dina Carroll actually released an album stateside back in 1993 called SO CLOSE. This import BEST OF collects most of the tracks from that album, as well as songs from her UK sophomore album ONLY HUMAN and material from an unreleased third album. It's a shame Carroll didn't get more attention than she did, because she possesses a beautiful voice that lends itself well not only to adult pop, but more dance oriented fare as well. Highlights here include'Escaping','The Perfect Year' and 'Living For The Weekend', as well as two terrific covers, one of Dusty Springfield's signature tune 'Son Of A Preacher Man' and an exquisite reading of Van Morrison's 'Someone Like You'. Fans of first-rate adult/dance pop will not want to overlook this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Diva, July 20, 2001

By 

Simon (Colchester, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)

This girl rocks. Born and bred in the UK, she mixes all the class and depth of her home town of Oxford. From Ain't No Man to Don't Be A Stranger, Dina Carroll shows she can produce some clubbed up tunes, as well as the heartfelt ballads. Particular highights are Escaping ( a worldly feel, that constantly escalates until your left panting), Don't Be A Stranger ( A dark ballad provoking your dakest thoughts and fears) and Livin' For The Weekend (Produced by David Morales, a floor-filler expressing the desire to dance). As well as these, there is the stiring version of Perfect Year (from Sunset Boulevard), Someone Like You (cover of Van Morrison's hit, and featured in Bridget Jones Diary), Son Of A Preacher Man and All I Ask (brand new song penned by Ronan Keating). If you want your music classy, sassy and full of emotion. Dina Carroll proves that she is one Powerful Diva.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)

Wow, was i disappointed by the transaction with this supplier! I ordered on Dec 6 for delivery prior to Christmas and didn't receive the product until Jan 4. I emailed for udates and would only get an automated response saying it had shipped. Clearly it hadn't.

I would NEVER NEVER NEVER buy from this store again - rethinking Amazon too because their Customer Service department did nothing to help.
