Pro Reviews: Greatest Hits [Narada]
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Brenda Fassie's best known song is an afropop RB crossover "Weekend Special" that introduced her strong voice and polished productions to the world outside of her South African home. It wasn't an overnight success though. "Weekend Special" was recorded in 1983 and slowly gained momentum until it finally snuck into the Billboard charts in 1986, opening doors to world tours and a seat among the elite of afropop. Along with other tracks from her original rise to afropop fame like "No No No Senor" and "Higher Higher," "Weekend Special" was almost indistinguishable from other popsoul of the era, much more Whitney Houston than Miriam Mikeba. The highlight of this greatest hits, and Fassie's career as a whole, are the high tech kwaito fusions of South African vocals with studio crisp worldbeat bump heard on 90s comeback tracks like "Vul'indlela," "Nomakanjani" and "Thola Madzoli." Here was a singer wizened by her previous ride on the pop music rollercoaster as well as her wellpublicized hardships, bouncing back with a music bursting with a warmth and vitality both traditional and modern. A balanced collection that provides ample evidence of why Brenda Fassie was called the Queen of African Pop. - Wade Kergan, All Music Guide |
