Compilation Watch: New Best-Ofs by Goldfrapp, Martina McBride Coming in 2012

January 4, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Here's some more upcoming releases to shake the malaise off the new release schedule: two very different compilations from two very excellent ladies in the dance and country genres.

Her name isn't mentioned as often as Faith Hill or Shania Twain, but Martina McBride was one of a treasured few country starlets who enjoyed a contemporary pop crossover or two. Her first big moment outside of Nashville came in 1997 with the adult contemporary ballad "Valentine" with pianist Jim Brickman; it charted in the Top 5 of Billboard's AC chart and in the country Top 10 as well. 2003 saw two singles, the upbeat "This One's for the Girls" and the heart-tugging "In My Daughter's Eyes," dominate the AC charts at No. 1 and No. 3, respectively, as well as crossing over into the general Top 40. With 19 Top 10 singles on the country charts, she's no slouch in her own genre, either.

After releasing last year's Eleven on a new label, Repbulic Nashville, McBride's Hits and More closes out her longtime association with RCA Nashville. The 20-track set includes all her greatest hits, plus two new tracks and one rarity, "Being Myself," from a 2004 EP sold exclusively at Target department stores.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have Goldfrapp, not a solo act but a duet anchored between singer Alison Goldfrapp and keyboardist Will Gregory. (Liner note geeks take heed: Gregory first rose to prominence as the saxophone player for Tears for Fears!) Their glam-tinged electronic dance-pop music has won them a bevy of critical plaudits, including four Grammy nominations and an Ivor Novello Award for British songwriting. Goldfrapp's The Singles also marks the end of their contract with Mute, and will feature 12 singles and two new tracks, "Yellow Halo" and "Melancholy Sky."

Hits and More is out January 17, while The Singles arrives February 6. (Thanks to the incandescent Vinny Vero for pointing us in the direction of the latter!) Hit the jump to check them out!

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Holy cats! I never realized that the Will Gregory in Goldfrapp was the same guy that played with TFF. He played a mean sax for them. I always love that part in "I Believe (A Soulful Re-recording)," just before the sax solo, when Roland Orzabal shouts "WILLIAM!"
