ALBUM REVIEW:
Talk about girl power. The soundtrack album to the sequel
to the 2008 movie Sex and the City, which is based on the
popular HBO TV series of the same name contains some of the
most powerful female voices of pop culture. The amazing Alicia
Keys kicks off the album with her version of Debbie Harry’s
iconic hit “Rapture”. The acclaimed American recording
artist, musician and (yes, like almost every one else out
there) actress belts out the emotionally powerful tune to
set the pace for the CD.
The
eclectic vibe of modern day New York is also represented by
the rich vocals of diverse singers like Dido, Erykah Badu
and Ricki-Lee in this too glam to be true soundtrack. So girls,
get ready to Carrie on with the music.
British
singer songwriter Dido brings a touch of contemporary class
in “Everything to Lose”, the R & B, hip hop
and jazz artiste Erykah Badu brings on the soulful “Window
Seat”, while Australian pop singer performs the energetic
“Can’t Touch It (Radio Edit)” with verve
and oomph.
Just
when you thought you’ve heard enough, you hear a powerhouse
duet “Love is Your Colour” performed by Jennifer
Hudson and Leona Lewis. How’s that for a valuable package
for a potent mix of two of the greatest voices in today’s
pop scene? Keys also returns to sing “Empire State of
Mind (Part II) Broken Down”, where you wished that you
could be transported to New York straightaway.
There
are also a few tracks on the CD featuring the Sex and the
City Men’s Choir - “If Ever I Would Leave You”,
“Sunrise, Sunset” and “Till There Was You”.
If you have seen the must watch chick flick this summer blockbuster
season, you’d be smiling from ear to ear like us while
listening to these three cues.
The
girls have their fair share of showcasing their vocals in
the album. Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis
and Cynthia Nixon perform “I Am Woman” to, well,
entertaining effect. Let’s just say they look better
in their colourful outfits.
