25 (2014) (Crystal Lewis compilation album)

25 (stylized as Twenty Five) is a 2-CD compilation album by American singer - songwriter Crystal Lewis, released on July 1, 2014 by her independent label CLR and Metro One/Word Entertainment.

The project celebrated the first 25 years of her musical career, spanning from her 1980s beginnings to the 2010s. 25 features a mix of Lewis hits, plus re-recorded remixes of "Beauty for Ashes" and "People Get Ready...Jesus Is Comin'" at the end of disc two. Lewis' past compilation releases Greatest Hits and More have been out of print, with the exception of the original tracks, "Come Just As You Are," "More," "I Guess" and "Like a Child," and this release is the only comprehensive "best of" collection that is on streaming platforms and for download purchasing.

The original two-disc release contained 27 tracks and included her hymn recordings of "Precious Lord," "Amazing Grace," "It Is Well," "How Great Thou Art" and "His Eye Is On the Sparrow," as well as "All Day Long" from Plain and Simple. The digital version has replaced those tracks from the physical release with the two new original tracks from More and two additional tracks from See, "Image of God" and "So Happy."
