The Greatest Misses - Chicane
With Chicane’s previous studio album reaching dance number one in nine territories, the follow-up had to be... Well, in Chicane’s world, it ought to be a celebration of your greatest misses over the past few years.
‘One Thousand Suns’, ‘No Ordinary Morning’, ‘Hiding All the Stars’, ‘Oxygen’, Come Back’ featuring Paul Young... All tracks that have been tagged “I can’t believe that wasn't a hit”. Not by the artist, mind you, but by fans and industry personnel. ‘Greatest Misses’ therefore isn’t a play on a greatest hits album; it is genuinely a slew of tracks that were either released at the wrong time or, perhaps, a little ahead of their time, as ‘Hiding all The Stars’ would fit right in on mainstream radio today.
Perhaps as some of these were ‘songs’ with verses, bridges and choruses, the dance community balked a wee bit. But all the finesse of a Chicane tune and production means they deserve to be recognized and enjoyed as part of the Chicane cannon. So here they are, the mistakes Chicane embraces and puts in a new light: ‘The Greatest Misses’.
