Music reviews of Last Kiss
Music Review: All These Places Feel Like Home
Rating: 4 Stars
The art of the soundtrack died about a secade. In that time there hasn't really been a soundtrack worth listening to. Well except for one: the Garden State Soundtrack. The soundtrack for Grammy winner Zach Braff was so good it turned a decent movie into a much better one. Who new the dude from Men at Work was still making music and good music at that? Yeah, the song that was supposable supposed to change my life didn't really do so; the soundtrack to his second movie, The Last Kiss is still worth talking about. It does look like since the success of the last album, Braff got a little more money as he has a couple more visible names this time around. Coldplay are back, but Braff dipped into there second album this time for one of the standout tracks from A Rush of Blood to the Head, their best album to date, with Warning Sign. Chocolate off of Snow Patrol's Final Straw starts off the soundtrack and my favorite Fiona Apple song not named Never Is a Promise, Paper Bag from the album whose name is so long it would double the length of this post also makes an appearance. Also the always solid Aimee Mann makes an appearance.
Coldplay aren't the only Garden State overlap as Carey Brothers, who's Blue Eyes was one of the better track, is back with the not as good Ride as he goes in more of a psychedelic way opposed to the more singer-songwriter vibe of Blue Eyes. Other notable tracks include Star Mile by Joshua Radin that could have easily fit on the Garden State Soundtrack. Turin Breaks deliver a great snooty English acoustic song, Pain Killer. El Salvador by Athlete sounds like if the Barenaked Ladies were British. The sadly overlooked Rachel Yamagata gives one of the best performances on the album with the piano driven Reasons Why. But the label of the best goes to Ray LaMontagne, who may be best know for having the original karaoke queen, Kelly Clarkson, sing one of his songs, Shelter, at the televised Katrina benefit ReAct Now: Music and Relief, or his great version of Gnarls Barkley's Crazy that is making it's round across the internet and worth hunting down. LaMontagne's song here Hold You in My Arms sound's straight of the singer-songwriters heyday of the sixties but without sounding dated.
Remy Zero is another Garden State holdover, but its nineties alternative rock track Prophesy, even though decent, doesn't fit on the soundtrack. Amos Lee puts on a stellar performance with the stripped down Arms of a Woman, but it can be easily overlooked with the superior LaMontagne track, which has the same vibe, on the same album. Filling in the virtually unknown actress who also sings role of Bonnie Somerville is Schuylar Fisk, who you should remember as the female lead in Orange Country finishes off the album with a duet with Joshua Radin which is neither memorable nor bad.
But the album is not without its flaws. Imogen Heap delivers a weird acapella song Hide and Seek whose layered vocals just don't stack together well. Then there Rufus Wainwright, who I can never get into because I can't get past his lisp/slurred speech singing style, with Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk. But overall the soundtrack makes me earger to see the movie which won't be out until September 15th. But for those that want a sneek peek, check out the video podcast where Zack Braff talks little about the movie, but some of the segments prominently feature Rachel Bilson, who definitely isn't Natalie Portman, but is still easy to look at anyway.
Description of Last Kiss
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Repeating the feat that accompanied his directorial debut, Garden State, Zach Braff has again put together a tastefully assembled compilation of music. The track listing reads like a cherry-picked bouquet of refined American singer-songwriters (Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann, Rufus Wainwright, Ray Lamontagne), sprinkled with literate-yet-popular UK combos (Snow Patrol, Athlete, Turin Brakes) and the lone international megaband (Coldplay, already on Garden State). Based on the selection, Braff is the kind of guy who isn?t afraid to show his sensitive side (that?d be the American songs, especially Apple?s "Paper Bag" and Aimee Mann?s "Today?s the Day"), but who also likes to hang out at soft-rock clubs with his cool mates (that?d be the British songs, especially Snow Patrol?s "Chocolate" and Turin Brakes? Simon & Garfunkel-like "Pain Killer"). Really, it?s a win-win combination?except for those who prefer their rock more rocking, since the mood is, overall, really mellow. (Note that Michael Penn score isn?t represented here.) --Elisabeth Vincentelli
