Urban Renewal Studio album by Released February 2001 (Europe) February 25, 2003 (United States) Genre RBSoulHip hop Label WEA Singles from Urban Renewal Another Day in Paradise Released: March 2001 In the Air Tonite Released: August 2001 Something Happened on the Way to Heaven Released: November 2003 Urban Renewal is a tribute album to singer Phil Collins, released in 2001 in most European markets and in 2003 in the United States, containing remakes of his songs by RB, soul and hip hop performers.

Collins remarked: We all think black RB artists know what theyre talking about.

The first time I was aware of it was when I watched a documentary on Ice-T.

This smug UK journalist looking at his record collection said, Whats with all the Phil Collins stuff He said, Dont mess with my Phil.

I remember thinking, My God You feel like ringing people up and saying, Are you watching this 1 Although the album itself was not a worldwide success, only charting in Germany at number three, individual singles from the album performed well in various markets, including Another Day in Paradise as performed by Brandy and Ray J and In the Air Tonite as performed by rapper Lil Kim.

A remake by Deborah Cox, Something Happened on the Way to Heaven, was later released as a dance remix on her 2003 album, Remixed.

It reached number one on the Billboard Dance Radio Airplay chart and peaked at ninety-five on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 2006, Q magazine listed Urban Renewal as No.

Phil Collins liner notes edit I first heard about this project about three years ago, so its not a self perpetuated.A Tribute to me record As I understand it, the publishers of my songs were getting, and had been getting for a long time, requests from many urban RB singers to cover my songs.

Songs like In The Air Tonight and Another Day In Paradise were top of the list of sampled songs and treatments.

It seems that from those requests for permission to change, alter, adapt or almost re-write my songs, came an idea to someone somewhere, that perhaps, contrary to critical opinion I may be hipper than previously suspected After some digging it was discovered that thankfully, music knows no boundaries.

What you heard on this CD is the result of that initial idea.

I heard it for the first time when it was finished and although I had no input on choice of singers, songs, arrangements or production I am deeply flattered that these songs have transcended and crossed barriers that some assume are there not to be messed with.

One thing that hit me on listening to these versions, was that, RB can still boast of some fantastic singers and producers.

Some songs are expected choices, but there are also some dark horses like the relatively unheard of Cant Turn Back The Years which is one my favourite songs.

Most have been completely taken apart and successfully re-thought like I Dont Care Anymore, Easy Lover or Something Happened on the Way to Heaven.

Anyways, Im sure youll make up your own mind about whether it was worth all the effort everyone put into it.

Me Im just pleased that someones been listening 4 Track listing edit Urban Renewal: The Songs of Phil Collins Standard Edition No.
