Reasonable Woman

Australian Sia returns to the spotlight with her first original album in about 8 years! The pre-released songs "Gimme Love" and "Dance Alone," a collaborative song with Kylie Minogue, were energetic dance numbers with pop sounds, catchy melodies, and a pleasant beat, raising expectations for the album. In addition to the aforementioned Kylie Minogue, this album features guest vocalists such as Chaka Khan, Paris Hilton, Tierra Whack, Labrinth, Kaliii, Jimmy Jolliff, as well as Jesse Shatki, Greg Kurstin, benny blanco, Jim-EStack, Rosalia. , bulow, Mark "Spike" Stent, and many other incredible collaborators, producers, co-writers, engineers, and pop luminaries.

The Nina Simone entry in Universal Music's discount-priced best-of series 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection draws nine tracks from Simone's popular Philips Records albums of the mid-'60s, plus two tracks from her live album Let It Be Me, released by Verve Records in 1987. Several of Simone's most frequent concert selections and signature songs are included, among them a live take of "I Loves You Porgy," "Mississippi Goddam," "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," and "The Other Woman." With a running time under 40 minutes and limited to only two of the labels for which Simone recorded, this is hardly a comprehensive compilation of her work. But it is a reasonable sampler at a reasonable price.

For an artist whose recording career spanned less than ten years, Tim Buckley seemed to get a lot done. From 1966's self titled debut, to Look At The Fool, his final album released in 1974, Buckley's oeuvre is as broad as it is varied. Ever the experimental troubadour, no other singer of the time was capable of absorbing such a diverse range of styles, whether that be folk, blues, jazz, rock, or classical, Tim was the ultimate when it came to freedom of expression.
