Some of her balladhits are not included, most notably her biggest, "Not Gon' Cry," but then again, this isn't necessarily a hits collection (and "You Remind Me," included here, is not really a ballad).
A few non-album tracks make this compilation worthwhile for the collector, most impressive among them being her stunning cover of Stevie Wonder 's "Overjoyed," which ranks among the best of Blige's recordings (and is completely unavailable in the U.S.).
Blige's aching and tortured voice, coupled with Wonder's blissful lyrics about boundless happiness brought about by love, results in a heart-wrenching beauty of a ballad, and easily demonstrates why she is considered by many to be the most gifted American RandB singer to have emerged in the 1990s.
