Tejano star Selena's death hasn't stopped label executives from releasing material or fans from snapping it up. According to the EMI Latin label, 1996's Siempre Selena features the last of her previously unreleased songs, "Siempre Hace Frio." The lavish, three-disc Anthology, however, is a must-have for its glimpses of Selena honing her vocal skills and sharpening her talent. Divided under the headers "Pop/English," "Mariachi," and "Cumbia," the set showcases hard-to-find early material and hits, including a club remix of the Diane Warren-penned "I'm Getting Used to You" and a disco-flavored take on "La Bamba." The liner notes offer background information on every song, and these discs also underscore the talents of Selena's brother, A.B. Quintanilla III. He gives many of the older tracks ("Dame Tu Amo," "Salta la Ranita") fresh arrangements that match the energy of Selena's more recent material.Compiled by her father, Abraham Quintanilla, Anthology is a three-disc/three-cassette box set that provides a comprehensive overview of Selena's tragically brief career. The set is divided into three parts: a disc of mariachi, a disc of cumbia, and a disc of pop recordings, many of which are in English. There are certain hits missing -- there's no "Dreaming of You," oddly enough -- but it's the first compilation to give a good sense of the range of her talents.
