Clear Horizon – The Best of Basia is a greatest hits compilation album by Polish-born singer Basia, released in November 1998 by Sony Music Entertainment.

Overview[edit]

The album consists of 17 songs, four of which were originally released on Basia's debut album, Time and Tide (1987),[2] two from London Warsaw New York (1990),[3] five from The Sweetest Illusion (1994),[4] and two from the live album Basia on Broadway (1995).[5] The remaining four songs were original recordings made exclusively for this compilation,[6] although "Angels Blush" had been released as a standalone single back in 1995. The cover photograph was taken by Simon Fowler.

The compilation was first released on 11 November 1998 in Japan,[7] with the worldwide premiere following on 18 November. The title song was released as the lead single and reached no. 31 on Tokio Hot 100 chart on Japanese radio station J-Wave in December 1998.[8] "Go for You" followed as a radio single in Poland in 1999.[9] The compilation was titled Clear Horizon – The Best Of... in some territories, and was Basia's final release for Sony. The album was not a commercial success due to lack of promotion from the label.[10]
