One of the best and most likeable singers of the 90s

Originally pegged by some critics as a clone of white female pop stars like Kylie Minogue or Susanna Hoffs, Lisa Stansfield boldly proved them all wrong by instead becoming possibly the finest white female soul singer since Teena Marie. She first burst onto the scene in 1990 with the hits "All Around The World" and "You Can't Deny It". Her rich, beautiful voice is probably at its glorious best on the 1991 #1 R&B hit "All Woman" which is an intense and powerful anthem for strong-willed, independent women everywhere. The 1991 non-hit "First Joy" is also catchy and melodic. She hit once more in 1997 with "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up," and this affordable, well chosen hits collection is a good way to get most or all of her best work. October 30, 2007

Hooked on "Affection" and now this?

This is, by far, one of the best Compilation CDs I've heard in a long time. Lisa Stansfield has amazed me with her talent, ever since the release of "Affection" back in '90. I went shopping recently in the music store and came across "Biography" as a surprise. Having been unaware of its release, I decided to "put it in the bank" with my other upcoming purchases. 2 days later, I bought it on amazon and I don't regret it one bit. My copy is a promo, but it's got the same booklet and images as the publicly released edition.

I really like the photos of Lisa, although most of them are small thumbnails, except for 2 larger ones. Her face is beautiful and she's changed quite a bit in the past 15 years. My, has it really been that long? There are some nice little tidbits about Lisa's songs, inside the booklet. What you won't find are the lyrics, though. The interior of the booklet is white and well-designed. Simple and straight-forward and not distracting to the eye. Additionally, the disc itself is white. The recording appears to have been remastered, which makes listening all the better. Arista is a great Label. Most of the tracks are new to me...as I've only bought the "Affection" CD since discovering Lisa Stansfield. Considering "Someday (I'm coming back)" was on the "The Bodyguard" soundtrack...it's nice to find it here. It's the logical thing to do when your song is among a bunch of other material on another CD.

In the early 90s STANSFIELD was extremely popular with hits like someday , All Around The World ,In All The Right Places and so many other popular songs but by the mid 90s she seemed to fade away from the international scene infact i bought rhe bodyguard soundtrack exspecially for her songs which i feel made the soundtrack the best with a little bit of luck i feel STANSFIELD could ve been in celiene dions place today STANSFIELD had the best voice ever i feel and about this album it contains almost all her hits including someday my favorite so i m going right ahead to order this compilation right now September 9, 2005
