Music reviews of Someone Like You
Music Review: Someone like you might like this.....Me? maybe a bit.....
Rating: 4 Stars
I must admit that I haven't seen the movie and so I can't comment on perhaps one of the most significant attributes of this compilation: Does it do the movie justice? Unfortunately, me being a male, I'm unlikely to see this movie even if pressed, so I'll content myself with a simple review of the music presented. Starting this CD off with Tom Jones and The Cardigans singing the Talking Heads tune "Burning Down the House" was a clever move. Jones' full baritone juxtaposed with the lead singer of the Cardigans weedy whiny soprano is a masterstroke musically. Placing this upbeat, soulful song as first on the CD was a masterstroke of marketing. "Burning Down the House" sets the tone for the following songs; upbeat, well-crafted and catchy pop ditties bound to evoke nostalgia from the thirty-somethings while providing topical commentary on the film's content. The fact that these are mostly reworked versions gives them a fresh quality which prevents this soundtrack from falling the way of other, sappy "remember when" CD's. Remember "The Big Chill"?..the absolute revisionist horror of my day. Thankfully this CD is almost entirely devoid of that kind of sentimental treacle. Annie Lennox's version of The Clash's "Train in Vain" uses her voice to full effect without jarring the listener, and the use of background horns ties this song in nicely with the rich instrumentation in songs by Tom Jones and that perennial Ska band: Madness.(featured here on "It must be Love"). The midpoint of this CD is admirably marked by a subtle blues song by Taj Mahal & The Phantom Blues Band which marks for the listener the CD's denouement into a easy-listening morass from which it almost escapes with the inclusion of Van Morrison's "Someone Like You". Unfortunately the CD doesn't pull itself out entirely and gets a little sickly sweet at the end. In the context of the movie this CD supports however, this is probably forgivable. Pretty, perky girl is happy except for love, living her perky life (music swells)while learning what life is all about. Perky girl finds true love after romance and falls into happy complacency (music ebbs). Overall this is a pretty good CD, honest about what its all about and entertaining on the way. If you loved the movie you'll no doubt love the CD. For the rest of us this is definitely "Sitting by the fire with a couple of drinks in me" music. Come to think of it, there's nothing wrong with that once in a while.
