Why I Love Nina and Zed

A couple of weeks ago, I received an unexpected gift from ZED, the mobile digital entertainment service available on SMART, Globe, and Sun, via LBC. It was the Nina Diamond Greatest Hits 2002–2010 CD collection, a prize I won just by answering their Facebook “Question of the Day.”

This collection brought back so many memories. Seven years ago, while pregnant with my eldest child, Nina’s music became my ultimate stress-reliever. I even insisted that Anthony buy me a pirated copy of Nina Live! because I was instantly captivated by her voice the first time I heard her on the radio. As a frustrated singer who couldn’t perform in front of a crowd, listening to Nina felt like stepping into another world, her voice makes you feel like anything is possible.

Nina has always made Warner Music Philippines proud with her incredible hits, and this Diamond Greatest Hits collection truly celebrates that legacy. The special 4-disc DVD/CD edition includes 36 songs and 23 videos, featuring timeless tracks from her platinum albums:

• Heaven
• Smile
• Nina Featuring The Hits Of Barry Manilow
• Nina Sings The Hits Of Diane Warren
• Renditions Of The Soul
• Nina Live!

This collection earned a Diamond Award, having sold over 200,000 copies since its release. The packaging is equally impressive, a vinyl-sized pop-up set featuring iconic photos spanning Nina’s career from her first album to her latest.

For those who love singing along, the set also includes 18 minus-one tracks and a lyrics booklet, helping you channel the one and only Diamond Soul Siren herself.

Thank you, ZED, for keeping the magic alive!
