Description
Spanning more than two decades, the set gathers Collins's signature ballads together with personal favourites, rarities, and previously unreleased live performances.
"LOVE SONGS." is highlighted by such top-charting hits as "One More Night," "Against All Odds," "Groovy Kind Of Love," "Two Hearts," "Do You Remember?," "Can't Stop Loving You," and "Separate Lives" (live version). The set also includes "You'll Be In My Heart" (from the Walt Disney film, Tarzan), which earned Collins the triple crown of an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a Grammy.
The 25-song collection features Collins's moving renditions of standards by other composers, including his version of Leonard Bernstein/Stephen Sondheim's "Somewhere" from West Side Story, a cover of Curtis Mayfield's "I've Been Trying," live performances of the Temptations' "My Girl," Irving Berlin's "Always," the Jerome Kern/Dorothy Fields classic, "The Way You Look Tonight," and a concert soundcheck recording of "True Colours."
Among the other highlights is the previously unreleased "Tearing And Breaking," co-written by Scottish singer/songwriter John Martyn and Collins, and originally recorded in 2001 during the sessions for the "TESTIFY" album. "LOVE SONGS." also gives fans the opportunity to revisit some perhaps less famous but certainly no less emotionally powerful moments - among them such gems as "This Must Be Love" and "If Leaving Me Is Easy" (both from Collins's first solo album, 1981's "FACE VALUE"), "Don't Let Him Steal Your Heart Away," "Can't Turn Back The Years," "I've Forgotten Everything," and "Testify."
