Soundtrack Review
With Will Smith on the verge of another huge success with the comedy-flick Hitch,now comes the obligatory soundtrack.A subtle mix of contemporary R'n'B,covers and originals,this will have mass appeal for Smith fans across the globe.After that,it has little broad-scope purchase potential.Golden oldies like Earth Wind and Fire,Jimmy Cliff,Martha Reeves,and The Temptations make a welcomed inclusion.That said,and not having see the film,I'm certain the listing will adequately match the scenes.It's a punchy R'n'B opener in the Beyonce mould(Amerie) and the funky grooves roll on with a subtle cover of Stevie Wonder's classic and revitalised EW&F featuring songbird Kelly Rowland.Overall, a very good soul filled OST.
Top tracks - Love Train,sounding as great as it did way back in the disco days of 1973,when it got to #3 in the UK singles chart: The Temptations' I Can't Get Next To You and Jimmy Cliff's reggae rendition.
Makes you wonder how much Will Smith influenced the choices!
