In 2006, Rhino Records released the two-disc anthology BRIGHTER LATER, which contained a disc of hits by the adult alternative pop star Duncan Sheik, coupled with a second disc of Sheik's darker, moodier material. The following year, the label spun off the first disc, unaltered, as a stand-alone budget-line collection of the singer-songwriter's most popular songs. As a result, those who bought BRIGHTER LATER won't need BRIGHTER, but it's an ideal release for the casual fan with fond memories of 1990s radio hits like "Barely Breathing" and "She Runs Away." Sheik also covers a favorite song by one of his most obvious influences, Joni Mitchell's "Court and Spark."
