Inspirational - Just Great Songs on CD

Description

Following on from 2020's 'Just Great Songs' comes this second volume, once again focusing on familiar and well-loved songs alongside some recent tracks that are already destined to become future classics. The compilation also features some of the most uplifting and inspirational songs ever - ones that often defy being consigned to a particular genre and are simply 'Just Great Songs'. CD1 includes some true contemporary classics - P!nk with 'Try' and Bastille + Marshmello's huge hit 'Happier', alongside Rag'n'Bone Man, Tom Walker, George Ezra and Leona Lewis' version of Oasis' 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out'. Uplifting tracks from Take That, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston are mixed with heartfelt songs from Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Little Mix and Christina Aguilera, and the disc closes with introspective moods from Amy Winehouse, Duffy and John Legend. CD2 is all about 100% classics and starts with a run of the most inspirational songs of all time including 'Lovely Day', 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'What a Wonderful World', 'God Only Knows' and 'Perfect Day'. Timeless songs from Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Gladys Knight, Labi Siffre and Sade are all here alongside the ultimate in feel-good tracks from Bobby McFerrin with 'Don't Worry Be Happy' and Heather Small's 'Proud', amongst others. The final disc is the ideal playlist of huge radio hits from the past few decades. Westlife's anthemic 'You Raise Me Up' and Girls Aloud's cover of 'I'll Stand By You' open the disc, followed by the beautiful 'Little Things' from One Direction, Justin Bieber's 'Sorry', and Calvin Harris & Sam Smith's collaboration 'Promises', before moving on to some of the most empowering and defiant anthems of recent years from Sara Bareilles, Rachel Platten, Kelly Clarkson and Sia - all alongside massive hits from Stereophonics, Paloma Faith and Lana Del Rey. The disc closes with some of the most atmospheric ballads ever including Tears For Fears' 'Woman in Chains', Scorpions' 'Wind of Change' and James Bay's modern classic 'Let It Go'.
