Sometimes it feels like you hear a Bright Eyes song with your whole body. From Conor Oberst’s early recordings in an Omaha basement in 1995 all the way up to 2020, Bright Eyes’ music tries to unravel the impossible tangles of dissent: personal and political, external and internal. It’s a study of the beauty in unsteadiness in all its forms – in a voice, beliefs, love, identity, and what fills up the spaces in-between. And in so many ways, it’s just about searching for a way through.
Diana Ross over the last two years has scored four consecutive No. 1 Billboard Dance Club Songs Chart singles – Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, I’m Coming Out / Upside Down, The Boss, and now Love Hangover 2020. This run is a history-making feat, as each track had been a No. 1 hit during its original release. Following Miss Ross’s four No. 1 Club hits comes a full album of classic songs turned “inside out.” The remixes are by producer Eric Kupper and are all created from the original multi-track masters taken from the Motown vaults.
One Woman: The Ultimate Collection condenses Diana Ross' most successful recordings into one 20-song, 71-minute disc. Ross produced the album (which is to say picked the tracks), and included six of her Supremes recordings from the 1960s (one of them, "Someday We'll Be Together," in a new disco mix). She also licensed a few songs from her stay at RCA in the 1980s, making this one of the most wide-ranging of her compilations. She also includes four tracks from the 1990s. In other words, Ross has constructed the album as she might a concert – a sprinkling of early Supremes hits, all her biggest solo hits, and what she considers the highlights of her current work.
