Exposé racked up an impressive number of dance and
adult contemporary hit singles in the late '80s and early '90s, and most of them are collected on this almost perfect
Greatest Hits. All their hits from
Exposure are here, including their Top Five smashes
"Come Go With Me" and
"Point of No Return," the soulful Top Ten hit
"Let Me Be the One," and the chart-topping
ballad "Seasons Change," as well as the
club hit
"Exposed to Love." Additionally,
"Point of No Return" and
"Let Me Be the One" were remixed when released as singles -- those single remixes are the versions included here, as well as the single edits of all their other hits. Also included are the single versions of their hits from their sophomore album,
What You Don't Know, including the brass-heavy title track, the almost
hip-hop "Tell Me Why," and the luscious
ballads "When I Looked at Him" and
"Your Baby Never Looked Good in Blue." Vocalist
Gioia Bruno left after their second album and, with their third, self-titled set, the formula began to weaken, although they did score one major Top Ten hit with the
ballad "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me," included here. The first single from that album,
"I Wish the Phone Would Ring," was sadly left off, as were two lesser follow-ups:
"In Walked Love" and
"As Long as I Can Dream" which, for better or for worse, sound more like bad
Wilson Phillips ballads than traditional
Exposé hits. Finally, this set includes a couple of new recordings: the
ballad "I'll Say Goodbye for the Two of Us" (which bubbled under
Billboard's
pop chart) and their lovely remake of
"End of the World," as well as lesser remixes of
"Come Go With Me" and
"Point of No Return" and a remix of
"I Specialize in Love," which is also from
Exposé. This excellent hits collection, with the correct versions of all their singles, makes only one misstep -- leaving off
"I Wish the Phone Would Ring" (as well as not featuring a cover photo with
Bruno, who was one of the main reasons behind the group's success).
