Best Of La Bouche feat. Melanie Thornton
La Bouche(红唇合唱团)由於脱团单飞的女主唱Melanie Thornton在2001.11.24飞机失事丧生,而就此成为绝响!
唱片公司后来陆续推出2张精选集,分别是2002年的"The Best Of"和2007年的"Greatest Hits",2002版本为影音升级版(Enhanced CD),一口气收了20首歌曲(18首旧作+2首新歌)+1首"Sweet Dreams"MV;2007版本则纯粹只有16首歌曲。因此,以收藏价值而言,"The Best Of"优於"Greatest Hits"。
"The Best Of"集结La Bouche(红唇合唱团)全盛时期的代表作∶"Be My Lover" 、"Sweet Dreams" 、"Fallin' In Love" 、 "You Won't Forget Me"...等;也包含女主唱Melanie Thornton单飞的个人作品∶ "Love How You Love Me"、 "Heartbeat"...等;并公开2首先前未曾发表过的新歌∶"In Your Life"和"Take Me 2 Heaven 2 Night",为乐迷精选必备盘。

Product Description
The Talents of the Late Melanie Thornton Are Missed in the Dance and Pop World. The Voice of La Bouche was Tragically Taken Too Early.

Her Talents were Confirmed on the Followup 'be My Lover' and Many People Then Knew Just who that Voice Was. Thornton Had Finally Achieved her Dream of a Solo Career Early in the New Millenium, Only to have it End Suddenly. 'i Know We Don't have Any Guarantee that We're Gonna Live Tomorrow. That's Why I Live Everyday as it was My Last.', She Said in One of her Last Interviews. This Compilation Celebrates Both her Group and Solo Career with the Best Tracks from Each Phase. As a Bonus, the Video of 'sweet Dreams' is Enhanced.
AMG Review by Heather Phares
BMG International's Best Of collects the highlights of La Bouche's career, including hits like "Be My Lover," "Sweet Dreams," "S.O.S.," and "You Won't Forget Me," as well as album tracks such as "Unexpected Lovers," "Heartbeat," "Do You Still Need Me," and "No Tears." Topping out at a generous 21 tracks -- including a video of "Sweet Dreams" -- the collection pulls the best moments from Sweet Dreams, Moment of Love, and S.O.S.
While it's true that La Bouche's sound didn't undergo any massive changes over the course of the duo's three albums, that makes Best Of a very comprehensive and cohesive-sounding compilation that should offer all the La
Bouche most people will ever need.
