Free Music Review: Beautiful, happy music...
Hit: 5 Stars

I watched the original Japanese version of this movie first, and enjoyed the cultural feel of it, as well as the elegant dancing. I was worried when I heard they were doing an American remake, but found it to be very enjoyable, capturing the spirit of the original while making it more playable to a western audience. The soundtrack is a major part of the movie, and this CD rendering is very fulfulling. It has most of the major songs used in the movie as both background and actual dance routines. The Pussycat Dolls' take on Dean Martin's "Sway" is particularly catchy and energetic, and makes for a great Cha-Cha (I know this; I've actually danced to it). Also, "Santa Maria (Del Buen Ayre)" by Go Tan Project is a beautiful, sensual, emotionally-charged Tango that will make you want desperately to get up and dance. This soundtrack covers songs with multiple emotions, and is great for listening to, and also, for dancing to. I highly recommend it for lovers of dance, music, or just the movie.

Shall We Dance? Poster

This remake of the 1996 Japanese film that set unlikely box office records in its native country turns more on a sexy, cinematic dance revivalism than the charms of stars Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez. While its soundtrack never veers far from that noble task, it gratifyingly jolts its familiar rumbas and tango rhythms with a few modern musical kicks all its own. Pussycat Dolls' crisp, sensuous take of the standard "Sway" may subtly juice tradition, but Gotan Project's "Santa Maria" gives those familiar Latin rhythms a downright savory electronica makeover. Producer/arranger John Altman underscores tradition via his versions of chestnuts both lively ("Happy Feet") and ethno-apropos ("Espana Cani," "Perfidia," "Andalucia") and even a suitably schmaltzy cover of Mancini's signature "Moon River." Altman's sturdy musical background helps focus songs as diverse as Peter Gabriel's bittersweet "The Book of Love" and Gizelle O'Cole/Pilar Montenegro's vibrant, modern Latin-inflected title song, Jamie Cullum's club-beat-meets-lounge take on "I Could Have Danced All Night" and Miya's slinky, hip-hop seasoned remake of Bowie's "Let's Dance." --Jerry McCulley
