TKA - Greatest Hits

Review by Richard E Smith

Greatest Hits by TKA is a must-have for any fan of the freestyle genre. The album showcases the best of TKA's music, featuring their most popular tracks from the 80s and 90s. The trio's blend of pop, R&B, and dance music creates an infectious sound that will have listeners dancing along from start to finish.

The album opens with their biggest hit, "Maria," which is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for anyone who grew up in the 80s. Other standout tracks include "Louder Than Love," "Scars of Love," and "Tears May Fall," which showcase TKA's signature sound and vocal harmonies.

What sets this album apart from other greatest hits compilations is the inclusion of previously unreleased tracks, such as "You Are the One" and "Crash (Have Some Fun)." These songs fit seamlessly with TKA's classic hits and add a fresh element to the album.

My cousin bought the cassette in the 80's in Los Angeles. After many years tried to find the song I found it!
