Music reviews of Queer As Folk
Music Review: Could Have Been 10x More Better
Rating: 4 Stars
It is a fact that music does play an important role in the storyline of Showtime's popular new series, "Queer as Folk." While most of the story revolves around the lives of several young gay men and women in Pittsburgh, the show's soundtrack captures the ongoings at the local nightclub, Babylon, perfectly. When I first picked up a copy of this soundtrack, I was hoping that the producers would release all tracks used in season one of the series. However, they didn't and that is why I am somewhat disappointed with this compilation.Most of the songs on this album, including the show's annoying opening/closing song, are weak dance tracks that do not capture the beats and grooves of popular dance compilations such as Victor Calderone's "E=VC2" or any of John Blair's dance compilations. However, not everything on this soundtrack reeks. There are at least two tracks which I rate as catchy, danceable tracks which is why I gave this compilation four stars.
The first track, Kristine W's "Lovin' You" ranks as the best song on this soundtrack. Similar to most dance diva's, Kristine's vocals are strong, flowing, and the song's rhythm perfectly captures the essence of a club anthem. The other song, Katty B's "Let's Hear it For the Boy" is a remake of the popular 1984 song by Denise Williams that appeared on the "Footloose" soundtrack. While different from original, Katty's version is much more danceable and enjoyable nowadays due to advancements in music technology.
The only song I wish they included on this soundtrack was the really throbbing dance song that played in episode 18 of the first season, where Brian (Gale Howard) encounters an unfaithful Dr. David in a bathhouse. That song, which I ranked the best track I heard so far on the series, perfectly captured the sexual ambiance of the mentioned location. Unfortunately, it was not included.
Let's just hope that the show's producers decide to release a second volume of music from the series that will include new songs from season two, in addition to songs from season one that did not make it on this compilation. Until then, this soundtrack will have to do.

Boy crazy, girl crazy, or somewhere in between, the Pittsburgh inhabitants of Showtime's eyebrow-raising Queer as Folk series all meet on middle ground: the dance floor. This relentlessly upbeat soundtrack of flavor-of-the-month dance-club anthems and campy synth-pop is confectionary fun that never loses its wits. Katty B.'s remake of the Footloose classic "Let's Hear It for the Boy" is a hoot, as is a cover of Divine's 1984 single "You Think You're a Man," which devolves into a naughty call-and-response of "boy" and "toy" that would make Madonna's early years seem tame. The good mood continues with Alcazar's frenzied "Crying at the Discotheque," which contains the intriguing couplet "The golden ties, the silver years / You wore a tie like Richard Gere." Add Kristine W.'s undeniable dance hit "Lovin' You," the Cher-like Heather Smalls's "Proud," and Mint Royale's Abba-kissed "Shake Me," and a taste of nostalgia kicks in. That said, the album knows when to quit; thankfully, there are no clichéd Gloria Gaynor or Donna Summer remixes to be found, just a batch of friendly, sexy tracks that perfectly complement the show's revved-up characters. --Kristy Martin
