Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

10. SWVGreatest Hits

If someone could search my brain and find out what I’ve ever listened to the most, it’s this.  I felt like The Greatest Hits were actually all of their best tunes, rather than a specific album. It was perfect. I was probably introduced to them by my aunt, and I think ‘Rain’ is probably my favourite track. The harmonies are always on point on SWV’s work, but ‘Rain’ has got some different powers in. Coko, I think is the name of the lead singer – she’s bad. The way she opens that tune up! Crazy.
