| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Compilation producers include: Steve Bartels, Larry Mestel, Chelsea Chiodo, Gina Rainville, Chrissie Lindsey. | | Personnel: Angela Fisher (vocals); Paul Gendler (guitar); Steve Mac (keyboards); Ken Gioia (drums, keyboard programming); Chris Laws (drums); Cindy Mizelle, Alistair Tennant, Andricka Hall (background vocals). | | Audio Mixers: David Kahne; David Leonard; Ken Gioia; Russell Elevado; Steve Fitzmaurice; Steve Mac; Timbaland. | | Recording information: KrucialKeys Studios, New York, NY; Rockstone Studios, London, England; Westlake Audio, Los Angeles, CA. | | This comes across based on several of the greatest singles of 2001: Blu Cantrell's undeniable "Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!)," Missy Elliott's unavoidable "Get Ur Freak On," Usher's cloying but effective "U Remind Me," Uncle Kracker's great Kid Rock-meets-James Taylor "Follow Me," Sugar Ray's terrific rewrite of "Every Morning" in "When It's Over," LFO's best song, "Every Other Time," Outkast's sly, funky "So Fresh, So Clean," Dido's soothing "Thank You," and, if you're generous, the remix of Alicia Key's "Fallin'," which would have made more sense if it had been featured in a version without Busta Rhymes. When second-tier singles like Dream's "He Loves U Not" follow-up, "This Is Me," Puff Daddy's silly comeback as P Diddy on "Bad Boy for Life" (let me reiterate -- no real bad boy could possibly be called something as sissy as P Diddy, even if that's what Biggie allegedly called him), Willa Ford's teen-slut anthem "I Wanna Be Bad" (the fact that her album doesn't have a parental advisory points out the inherent flaw in parental advisory stickering), Craig David's Brit-hit "Fill Me In," and Toya's "I Do!!" (not really a hit, but really good all the same) are added into the equation, this winds up as a great snapshot of the state of pop in 2001. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine | | Like the popular NOW series, TOTALLY HITS 2001 is a singles-laden bonanza crammed with pop from different corners of the music world. Rap gets fully represented and ranges from the funk-fueled eccentricities of Outkast ("So Fresh, So Clean") and rough-neck rhymes of Ludacris ("What's Your Fantasy" featuring Shawna) to the eclectic rhymes of Missy Elliott ("Get Ur Freak On") and the bling-bling of P.Diddy ("Bad Boy For Life" with Black Rob & Mark Curry). Among the faces of contemporary R&B making a cameo are the gifted prodigy Alicia Keys ("Fallin'" remix with Busta Rhymes), pretty boy Usher ("U Remind Me"), and newly minted garage god Craig David ("Fill Me In"). | | Rock-pop contributions include Dido's ethereal smash ("Thank You"), Uncle Kracker's wistful feel-good hit ("Follow Me"), and Eve 6's slice of alt-pop ("Here's to the Night"). There's even a whiff of bubble-gum boy band O-Town ("All Or Nothing") and Dream, Puffy's attempt at an all-girl outfit ("This Is Me" remix featuring Kain). TOTALLY HITS 2001 ends up doing an admirable job serving as an auditory time capsule reflecting the charts at a time when music was a necessary distraction from acts of terror. |
