Now & Always: 20 Years of Dreaming

Gabrielle has been singing her heart out since her 1993 "Find a way" debut, producing some wonderful pop-soul songs - and some very big hits, too - along the way. "Dreams can come true", she sang back then, and she was fortunate - and talented - enough to have seen most of hers come true. Marking the anniversary of her first No. 1 with that song, she is releasing her second best-of package, which is her most comprehensive to date. 19 singles, plus new one, "Say goodbye", along with 6 brand new recordings, a generous handful of lesser known album cuts that are nicely added on, and a couple of remixes (which are badly edited, though). A fitting way to celebrate 2 successful decades in music, topped off by the prestigious awards she was awarded with, in recognition of her artistry, perhaps her greatest accolade of all (2 BRIT Awards, 2 MOBO Awards, an Urban Music Award, and an Ivor Novello Award). Not often there are artists who love their craft, respect their audience, expose themselves for reasons solely concerning their work and, more importantly, they never disappoint. That is why, out of all greatest-hits releases in 2013, this is the most precious. Generously pop-flavoured, immensely enjoyable, "Now and always" is an invaluable collection from one of pop's underground divas. That is what Gabrielle has always been, even when she enjoyed her absolute peak during the "Rise" era (1999-2001). Gotta love her. 20 Years of dreaming may seem like a long time but, hey, who's ever tired of dreaming...Tracklisting:CD 11. Say goodbye (new)2. Rise [from "Rise" (1999)]3.

I bought a couple of her things many years ago, and this collection is impressive. Good to "house it all" if you want to remember Gabrielle's best. Highly recommend.

seriously....that voice is just another level...i could listen to her sing the phone book...her voice is just so relaxing and smooth.long time fan and love having this cd.

if you have ever heard a Gabrielle song that you like you will like most of the tracks on this release

Decent album. Good to have if you're a Gabrielle fan.

This young lady sings absolutely BEAUTIFULLY!!!!

even though its a second greatest hits, the 6 new songs and remake of dreams make it worth getting this album. Hopefully its a hint of whats to come in the future

I FEEL like I am somehow SPECIAL ~ uniquely Listening to angelic GABRIELLE in sunny California! ..., my fellow Americans usually say, "I've Never heard this, Before?" ... Ultimately, they Smile brightly.., and, like Me, shout ~ "BEAUTIFUL" ... The Best of the BEST, on So many levels!She is a real Survivor! ... Her world-class Talent, not a Secret, anymore! ... *America LOVES Gabrielle!

Had forgotten just how mucho liked Gabrielle.. bought this after watching her on one of the music channels.. it's a double disc collection with some great stuff I hadn't heard great relax chill out album perfect Sunday tunes or holidays on the beach delivered swiftly too GREAT purchase great service

Despite some duplicate versions, this compilation has everything you could ever want, or need, to listen to from Gabrielle. Unless you want must have her very latest recordings that is; though the tracks on this CD are the ones that you will know and love.I cannot imagine anyone would buy this on a whim, as they will probably already be a fan, and want the whole collection on one easy 2-disc set, as my wife did. Even if you only know one or two of her songs, the cheap price, and quality recordings will leave you more than happy.

Fabulous

One happy customer fantastic artist
