Vanessa Contenay-Quiñones was the subject of my third ever contribution to the Imaginary Compilation Album series at The Vinyl Villain, posted on 26th November 2020. The ICA focused on Vanessa's wider career, but all of the Espiritu songs featured there appear on this selection too. I'll skip the Espiritu bio as it's pretty much covered in the ICA.
This compilation of singles, B-sides and remixes was pretty hot off the press; the single You Don't Get Me, which provides the closing two songs here, was released on 7th July 1997.
Vanessa's had an interesting and varied career since, not least with Vanessa & The O's (with James Iha of The Smashing Pumpkins) and as a solo artist, her 2020 album Voodoo Girl providing some welcome sunshine during lockdown and making an appearance in my end of year 'best of'.
