Far be it from me to stir up the muck, and I really hate to say it, but I think it's been almost seven years since her last release. A few artists (Sade, Steely Dan, Neil Diamond, etc) can get away with a long hiatus and a "comeback", but I sadly don't think Basia had that kind of penetration. (Heck, Sade's latest album is garbage anyway...she's on tour and all the radio stations are playing are her old hits.) I regret to say that I feel if Basia were to come out today with an album of tunes like "So Nice", I don't believe it would be very well received. She needs another set like TSI - in my opinion, her finest work. With heavy heart, we may have to face the sad fact that Basia/Danny have their recording career. What a waste... and what a loss. :( LL ------------------------------ End of basia-digest V6 #69 **************************
