Best Of (Vanilla Ninja Album)
''Best Of'' is a best-of album by the Estonian girl band Vanilla Ninja. The album was released in December 2005 and consists of thirteen songs from their ''Traces of Sadness'' and '' Blue Tattoo'' albums. The album was released in several countries in Central Europe, but did not make the top 100 in Germany or Austria, and peaked at #70 in Switzerland. The album did not make the chart in Estonia either, ending their run of three consecutive #1 albums. History The release of ''Best Of'' was controversial, as the group had already left Bros Records, and the band were unaware of its release. In interviews during the weeks around the album's release, Vanilla Ninja member Piret Järvis asked fans not to buy the album, as it would be supporting the Bros label. The album was essentially a greatest hits album of the group's releases since their 2004 international breakthrough, containing tracks recorded between late 2003 and early 2005 with no new material. Most of their singles were in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Songs Written By Bernd Meinunger
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers ...
