Album Introduction
Now That’s What I Call Music 15 captures the variety of the late-eighties charts across two vinyl records and 32 tracks. Released in 1989 by EMI, Virgin and PolyGram, this compilation brings together rock, pop, soul, dance and hip-hop, with artists including Queen, Paul McCartney, Soul II Soul, Neneh Cherry and Pet Shop Boys.
The selection moves from the muscular rock of Queen’s “I Want It All” to the relaxed groove of Soul II Soul’s “Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)”. Along the way, Roxette, The Beautiful South, Kirsty MacColl and The Cure add contrasting sounds, making this more than a collection of dance-floor favourites.
The beach-themed cover gives the album a summery identity, while the gatefold interior features artist photographs and notes on the tracks. It’s an enjoyable way to revisit the sound of 1989, with familiar favourites and songs that deserve another spin.
Stand-Out Tracks
Queen – “I Want It All”
A commanding guitar riff and powerful vocal bring an emphatic start to the compilation. Its arena-rock scale provides a striking contrast to the pop and dance selections that follow.
Soul II Soul featuring Caron Wheeler – “Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)”
A deep, measured groove and Caron Wheeler’s soulful vocals make this one of the collection’s defining moments. The spacious arrangement gives the bass, percussion and vocal harmonies room to breathe.
Neneh Cherry – “Manchild”
A reflective vocal and atmospheric backing reveal a more restrained side of the compilation. Its blend of soul, pop and hip-hop textures adds depth beyond the brighter, faster tracks.
Roxette – “The Look”
A punchy beat, sharp guitar accents and a memorable vocal hook give this track its confident character. It’s a compact burst of pop-rock energy that fits neatly among the first side’s bigger sounds.
The Cure – “Lullaby”
A creeping rhythm and hushed vocal create an eerie, dreamlike atmosphere. As the closing track, it leaves the compilation on a distinctly different note from its exuberant opening.
