Appearing three years after Mercury's comprehensive collection Fire in Your Eyes: Greatest Hits, BMG Heritage's 2004 release Ultimate Survivor edges out that previous collection for the title of the best Survivor compilation yet assembled. Why? Because the song selection and sequencing are sharper, developing a real momentum over its 18 songs, and it's also better presented, with strong liner notes and muscular remastering. Where the Mercury collection sometimes felt padded toward its end, as it emphasized some latter-day material, this focuses on the group's '80s heyday so much that it includes the original version of "Rockin' into the Night," a song Survivor leader Frankie Sullivan and his songwriting partner, Jim Peterik, gave to .38 Special, and their version is every bit as good as that group of wild-eyed Southern boys. Little touches like these make Ultimate Survivor live up to its title. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Knock You Down Keri Hilson Feat. KanYe West & Ne-Yo |
||
|
With three singles still riding high in the charts Keri Hilson continued her assent to R&B's A-list with the releases of the KanYe West produced 'Knock You Down' in 2009. All though she had already gained a great deal of internet hype through her collaborations with Lil Wayne and Timbaland throughout the year, Keri Hilson was holding the biggest aces up her sleeve with not one, but two huge stars collaborating on 'Knock You Down'. (Namely KanYe West and Ne-Yo). The fourth single taken from the much delayed 'In A Perfect World' album, the mid tempo single tells the tale of a musical love triangle between the urban stars featured on the track. Although electro tinged, 'Knock You Down' conveys enough emotion to show off both Hilson's vocal skills and KanYe West's considerable talent behind the mixing desk.~Roberto González~ Copyright (c) Shazam Entertainment Limited 2009.
