Although the film industry has widely celebrated Queen Latifah's many memorable screen appearances (LIVING OUT LOUD, BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE, and particularly her Oscar-nominated role in CHICAGO), the New Jersey-born-and-bred hip-hop icon finally receives her musical due with this concise retrospective collection. SHE'S A QUEEN delivers 12 memorable tracks, from 1989's groundbreaking "Ladies First" single and the melodic "Set It Off" (from the movie of the same name) to the grooves of "Paper" (a reworking of "I Heard Through the Grapevine") and the smooth, previously unreleased title track. As this compilation reveals, Latifah has always had a commanding presence and clear identity, using her formidable voice and lyrical flow in the service of positive messages. Latifah's strengths are best exemplified in the deft single "Just Another Day," a track that sums up her undeniable appeal as a performer.
