Closer to You: The Pop Side


Closer to You: The Pop Side is a compilation album by American jazz singer Cassandra Wilson, released in 2009.

Reception

Jeff Simon of The Buffalo News stated, "Bless her, Cassandra Wilson has always done this. Even when she was the Queen of Brooklyn's thorny M-Base jazz radicals a couple decades ago -- and not yet the greatest living jazz singer as she is now -- her discs would have one or two pop hits on them, interpreted in the most inimitable way... Call it ultra-smart marketing if you want but there's a lot of marvelous music here."
