Get to Know is the debut compilation album by British pop singer Becky Hill. It was released on 27 September 2019 through Polydor Records as the singer's first project, containing hit singles and new songs that were recorded by her throughout her musical career from 2013 to 2019. The compilation includes the number-one song "Gecko (Overdrive)" and the top 40 singles "Afterglow", "Piece of Me", "False Alarm", "Back & Forth", "Wish You Well" and "Lose Control".
Get to Know peaked at number 20 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.{{Cite web |title=Award |url=https://www.bpi.co.uk/award/ |access-date=2022-10-21 |website=BPI |language=en}}
Background
Following her participation as a contestant on the first series of The Voice UK in 2012, it was revealed that Hill remained in touch with some of people who worked on the show and said that they were responsible for getting her into the industry. In an interview on Sunday Brunch, she said, "I was living in a shared flat in London with a few of the other contestants from the show and, also about to make it into the industry, had to get myself a lawyer, and I was only 17 at the time. I had to grow up a lot." She began working with a range of people, including Rudimental and Wilkinson before she got picked up by her current and close working friend MNEK.
in 2014, she signed to Parlophone Records and started to work on her debut album. She released the collaborative single "Gecko (Overdrive)" with Oliver Heldens, which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart and make her the first The Voice UK contestant to achieve a number-one record on the UK Charts. Not long after, she released a couple of singles, entitled "Losing" and "Caution to The Wind" as promotion for her project and that it would be released in 2014. By the end of the year, the project was on hold and said that it would be released the following year. In the later months of 2015, Hill told MTV that the album was pretty much done and that she was "waiting for it to be polished up and released". She also revealed that half of the project was worked on with MNEK.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mtv.co.uk/becky-hill/articles/wheres-becky-hill-been-sorting-out-her-debut-album-which-is-pretty-much-there-yay|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925113130/http://www.mtv.co.uk/becky-hill/articles/wheres-becky-hill-been-sorting-out-her-debut-album-which-is-pretty-much-there-yay|url-status=dead|archive-date=25 September 2015|title=Where's Becky Hill Been? Sorting Out Her Debut Album Which Is "Pretty Much There" Yay!|publisher=MTV}} Later, she revealed that the album was "99 per cent complete" and that it would be released in early 2016.{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/english/music/news/Becky-Hills-debut-album-is-99-per-cent-complete/articleshow/49375034.cms|title=Becky Hill's debut album is 99 per cent complete|website=The Times of India|date=15 October 2015 }}
In 2016, Hill was dropped from Parlophone, which meant that her debut album was therefore scrapped. Hill established her own record label with her own team called Eko Music Limited and began releasing some more material. This also sparked the release of her two collaborations of the year, "Piece of Me" with Marc Kinchen, and "False Alarm" with Matoma, which were both expected to be solo efforts that would have appeared on her scrapped project. Overlapping into 2017, she also released her own singles "Back to My Love", "Warm", "Rude Love" and "Unpredictable", which made up her debut extended play Eko.{{Cite web|url=https://music.apple.com/gb/album/eko-ep/1269585948|title=Eko EP by Becky Hill|website=Music.apple.com|access-date=13 February 2020}}
In May 2017, Hill signed to Sony Music Entertainment, and later to Polydor Records in August 2017. Upon signing her record deal, manager Alex Martin was quoted as saying, "Becky is at an incredibly exciting stage in her career. The public have only seen a small amount of Becky as a solo artist and what she can do and we were looking for the right partner to work with to take that further".{{cite web|url=http://www.musicweek.com/talent/read/becky-hill-signs-to-polydor/069362|title=Becky Hill signs to Polydor|work=Music Week|access-date=13 August 2017}}
In 2018, she released the single "Sunrise in the East", which was treated as the lead cut from her supposedly rejuvenated debut project.{{Cite web|url=https://celebmix.com/becky-hill-video-tour-dates/|title=Becky Hill unveils 'Sunrise in the East' video and October UK tour dates|date=21 June 2018|website=CelebMix}} Not long after, she took part in a range of collaborations, including the song "Back & Forth", alongside Marc Kinchen and Jonas Blue. This continued the following year with "I Could Get Used to This", with Weiss, and finally "Wish You Well", with Sigala, which became her first top 10 hit in the UK Charts since "Gecko (Overdrive)". Additionally, she also achieved success as a songwriter when she wrote the song "All Day and Night" by Jax Jones, Martin Solveig and Madison Beer, which was her first written effort to make it to the top 10 in the UK Charts.
On 24 September 2019, Hill announced on social media that she was going to be releasing a "mini-album", which included previous hits and four brand new tracks.{{Cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/B2zfLuzBxlE/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/instagram/beckyhill/2140191393535433028 |archive-date=25 December 2021 |url-access=registration|title=Becky Hill on Instagram: "surprise! i have a mini-album coming out on friday that has all the hits u know & love along with 4 BRAND NEW TRACKS!!! fridayyyyy!!!"|website=Instagram}}{{cbignore}} These four tracks were previously planned on being released on their own as an extended play, entitled Fickle Emotions, but the idea was scrapped before including them on a compilation album.{{Cite web|url=https://www.expressandstar.com/entertainment/music/2019/09/26/craig-david-lewos-capaldi-rita-ora-and-more-line-up-announced-for-free-radio-hits-live-in-birmingham/|title=Craig David, Lewis Capaldi, Rita Ora and more: Line-up announced for Free Radio Hits Live in Birmingham|first=Rebecca|last=Stanley|website=Express & Star|date=26 September 2019 }} It was released on 27 September 2019.
In October 2019, Becky collaborated on the song "Lose Control", alongside then breakthrough acts Meduza and Goodboys, and was later released through the 2019 re-released version of Get to Know.{{Cite web|url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/get-to-know/1483907569|title=Get To Know by Becky Hill|website=Music.apple.com}}
