The L-Word: Season 2 [Soundtrack]

the l-word: season 2 [soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews

While the soundtrack to the first season of Showtime's lesbian-themed dramatic series set the tone for the show's emotionally-rooted, if ever-eclectic musical sensibility, the choices here often have a more nervy, contemporary edge. Dusty Springfield's ‘60s blue-eyed soul classic "Just a Little Lovin'" offers an alluring lead in, but quickly fast forwards to the Siouxsie-channeling, retro-new wave spunk of Organ's "Brother," the electrobeat sass of "Playgirl" by Ladytron and Martina Topley-Bird's spare, moody "Ilya." Heart makes a similarly intimate contribution via "No Other Love," while Shawn Colvin's familiar "Sunny Came Home" and Iron & Wine's "Naked As We Came" offer islands of relative calm in the midst of more electric fare like the club-punk of LeTigre's "On the Verge" and slinky, post-modern melodrama of "Where Do I Begin" by Shirley Bassey and awayTEAM. BETTY's alt-pop fueled, snark-smart show theme closes the set, and BETTY also collaborates with Pam Grier on a sexually dizzy cover of "Some Kind of Wonderful." --Jerry McCulley

just great background music.......2007-06-27

Outstanding, up-to-date background music, with just a touch of lesbian chick. A great collection, and it furthers the cause!

Hot Hot Hot!.......2006-07-06

This CD is hot, like the tv-series and like all those beautiful actresses on the series. Do you need some help imagining Shane or one of the other girls standing next to you in your living room, then just put on this steamy CD. You should check out 'Brother' from the Organ. When I first heard it I thought 'That's Debbie - not on the L word - Harry'. Well, it's not Debbie, but definitely sounds like her. There are some classic romantics, like 'Just a little lovin' by Dusty Springfield. What a steamy voice! Or 'Where do I begin' by Shirley Bassey, with a nice beat. And you can dance as well with 'Playgirl' by Ladytron, 'Mmmnn' by Grandadbob or 'Get on' by Dirtmitts. That sure will get you in the mood for some L. The CD has one flaw, there are three songs by BETTY on this CD and that's one too many. The cost: less diversity. But even still, I think its a CD for a hot party. And remember, on that occasion, we should all be gay and feel sexy! So, why not buy this kinda 'L. inclined' party CD? It's got all the ingredients.

Hot GIRLS, Hot SHOW, Hot SOUNDTRACK!.......2006-02-23

This soundtrack is great! I am a huge fan of The L Word and when I heard the music on the show I knew immediately I had to buy the soundtrack. What I enjoy most about this selection is that there are many artists that I don't normally listen to, so it has opened me up to a wide range of genres.

L-Word Soundtrack, so so so good!.......2006-02-23

I am sitting here listening to the L-Word Season 2 soundtrack, and I'm really loving it. This is the version that doesn't have the EZ Girl stuff on it, which I've heard a lot of people don't particularly care for.
The whole CD is mellow, with the highpoints being Betty's "It Girl." It is perfect for a long ride, because it is that music that makes good background noise and will make you sink into your own thoughts.

I love this CD especially because it is mostly women's music, peformed by women and written by women. I recommend this for any indie-chick music fan!!
