Sex and The City - Soundtrack
This soundtrack is an eclectic mix of new and old and old made new. It is an indulgent treat that has something for everyone. The original songs get you up and moving. The remakes and the classic Run D.M.C/Aerosmith song take you down memory lane. It can be summed up as a contemporary throw-back.
Labels or Love - Fergie
Regardless of how you feel about Fergie, you can't help but get up and move to this song. It is an upbeat, feel good song. It is the perfect song for the girls of the City.
All Dressed in Love - Jennifer Hudson
When I first heard this song, I felt as though I entered a time portal. It's a contemporary throw back to the divas of the past. It has a definite Gladys Knight/Aretha flavor. It makes you want to sing along....while shopping.
The Look of Love - Nina Simone
This song starts out with a Jazz feel and turns into something you would have expected to hear as passengers boarded The Love Boat. It has a nice beat to it but it feels dated.
New York Girls - Morningwood
This song is reminiscent of the techno-pop/rock style of the 80's. It makes you want to get up and dance, you just can't help but bob your head to the beat. It's a fun song.
All This Beauty - The Weepies
Can you say The Carpenters? That's the feeling I got when listening to this song. For the older generation, it's a trip down memory lane. For the younger generation, it's one that would be passed over.
I Like the Way - Kaskade
More instrumental than not, it still has a nice mellow dance beat to it. It oozes sexy.
It's Amazing - Jem
Beautiful slow piano intro turns into a contemporary love song. The middle part of the song strays from that line into an out of place digitalized voice production reminiscent of something from the Sgt. Pepper's band. Thankfully that didn't last long and the song quickly got back on track.
How Deep is Your Love - The Bird and The Bee
They did a wonderful job of remaking the Bee Gee's hit song. It brought a beautiful classic song to the present. This contemporary remake stayed true to the original while still making it seem fresh.
The Heart of the Matter - India Arie
India Arie does a nice job of remaking this Don Henley song. She brought a fresh sound to it. Unfortunately, unlike How Deep is Your Love, the original is better than the remake.
Auld Lang Syne - Mairi Campbell and Dave Francis
A beautiful version of this traditional song. It has a definite Irish or Celtic sound to it. It gives you goose bumps. Definitely a new favorite for New Year's.
Kissing - Bliss
A slow, seductive, romantic song. You can't help but relax and get in the mood with this song.
How Can You Mend a Broken Heart - Al Green featuring Joss Stone
Another contemporary throw back. It stays true to the sounds of the original but with a contemporary feel. Dim the lights and lose yourself to this beautiful remake.
Walk This Way - Run-D.M.C and Aerosmith
A real blast from the past, you can't help but relive the video in your head. What a great way to introduce a whole new generation to a great song from the 80's. Get up and strut your stuff!
Free Music Review: Eclectic Song Selection : A Surprisingly Solid Album
Hit: 4 Stars
Being no "Sex and the City" fan, I downloaded this soundtrack expecting at least a couple of good tunes, because lets face it, the music on the show was always stellar. Little did I know that just like the soundtrack to the underrated "P.S. I Love You", this one turned out to be just as essential and just as well-compiled.
The soundtrack benefits primarily from the inclusion of 'unknown' (at least to the mainstream) artists who are definitely going to get some well deserved attention after this release. Prime amongst these are indie band The Bird and the Bee and their cover of the old classic "How Deep is Your Love" (also a '90s hit for British band Take That). This band has had some great recognition in the underground music scene, but its time they were truly appreciated.
Nina Simone's classy cover of "The Look of Love" gets a loungey remix version here, which is just as well. I see a lot of rave reviews for the new Stacy Ferguson (Fergie) track, but I would have to call this song one of the albums' weaker cuts. Better is "New York Girls" by indie artist Morningwood (check out their amazing debut album, by the way), and the stunning "How Can you mend a Broken Heart?" by Al Green featuring Joss Stone.
Jem has a wonderful solo track as well, but the only missteps seem to be the Jennifer Hudson song, as well as the unnecessary inclusion of "Walk this Way" by Run DMC (seriously, we did NOT need another album with this song on it).
"Sex and the City" of course, could have had a better soundtrack. I mean, how can there be a New York movie without at least one song by Madonna, or at least a couple more inspired independent New York based artists? The way it is, this album is pretty solid, but certainly not a five star album. I'm going with three and a half stars. Get this, but try finding it online to listen to samples before investing because there are at least four songs here that I would never want to listen to again.
