Free Music Notes for Love Actually
Free Music Review: Perfectly recaptures the mood of the movie
Hit: 5 Stars
In the CD liner notes, the music director for the film Love Actually suggests that different music would have made this a completely different movie, and I have to agree. When listening to the soundtrack, I could easily recollect exactly where in the movie each song was used; the music served to recapture all of the complex emotions so wonderfully portrayed in the film.
Overall, the soundtrack has a rather jazzy/R&B feel, from Kelly Clarkson's "The Trouble With Love Is" to Lynden David Hall's upbeat version of "All You Need is Love." Those who have seen this CD in stores may have been dismayed to find that the song list doesn't include Billy Mack's hilarious "Christmas is All Around," but don't worry--this is included as a bonus track along with "All I Want for Christmas is You," another of the film's more fun tunes.
This soundtrack makes perfect background or mood music for virtually any occasion, especially a romantic one. Highly recommended!
Free Music Review: Great cd..very versatile!
Hit: 5 Stars
Kelly did a great job with this cd. It shows her versatility like what she did on American Idol. Every song shows her strengths. You can hear the passion in her voice when she sings "The Trouble With Love Is", "Some Kind of Miracle" and "Anytime". You also get treated to another side of Kelly in the rock-style "Just Missed the Train", "Beautiful Disaster" and "Low". Also, Tamyra Gray adds attitude to the cd with a duet called "You Thought Wrong". If you need a song to just sit back and chill to, listen to "What's Up Lonely" or "Thankful". If you wanna be reminded of her power during American Idol, you've got "A Moment Like This" and "Before Your Love" on the cd, as well. It's an awesome cd and every song is a good song. Just like the cd title, I am THANKFUL that Kelly didn't stick to just one genre of music and showed what she can really do.Free Music Review: Fun, happy music!

If you loved the movie "Love Actually," you need to own the soundtrack. This is a really great collection of feel-good music. There are some great classic songs included on this CD (Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now," The Pointer Sisters' "Jump") along with some more modern favorites (Dido's "Here With Me," Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning"). I really like the two Christmas songs that originated from the film: Bill Nighy's rendidtion of "Christmas Is All Around Us" and Olivia Olsen's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" (for a little girl, she sure can sing!).
Unfortunately, Craig Armstrong's "PM's Love Theme" (also known as the "Love Actually" theme song") is not included on this version of the soundtrack, but you can get it on the imported version that includes a few extra tracks.
This is a really fun CD. Even the teeny-bopper song by Sugarbabes didn't ruin the experience for me!
Free Music Review: this CD makes me happy
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this CD and yes, it does make me happy. Whenever I'm dreary or unhappy with work, I like to throw this CD in and listen to all of it's great tracks. It actually makes me feel better.I've always loved the Beach Boy's "God Only Knows", and it is, actually, one of my favorite songs. It was awesome to see it played at the end of the film. What a perfect choice.
The other great song from the album is The Calling's "Wherever You Will Go". I enjoyed it on my local alternative radio station and now that it's made an appearance in LOVE ACTUALLY I actually love it more. What a great song.
All of this soundtrack is good listening. And, it was cool to have added the bonus Christmas songs. I love Billy Mack and his clever x-mas song. What style! Thanks for the great music memories.
If you loved the movie, the soundtrack's for you!

I used to complain abuot the trend of the 'complilation' (compiling hits and songs by popular artists) as the new way of creating movie soundtracks......I always felt it was a cop-out (versus writing a whole new score for a film....geez, unless the film IS a musical, those days are gone) until a few stellar ones proved me wrong. Love Actually one such gem - a feel-good (actually make that a feel-great movie) movie with a feel even better bunch of songs without one dud among them. Even the 'incidental' music (the music that is the connective tissue between songs and scenes) is something you would want to listen to without the movie, without lyrics - just because it is beautifully written in its own right. What you won't be able to get from the cd is the absolutely seamless fusion of the soundtrack to the visuals - for that, RUN, don't walk, to see Love Actually.
