Q: Why has Queer Eye for the Straight Guy become one of the biggest cable/broadcast television phenoms of the admittedly young 21st century? A: Because life just isn't fabulous enough. But Queer Eye's producers and makeover mavens have bigger ambitions than sharing chic accoutrements for the hetero taste-challenged: they want to provide the soundtrack(s) to your life. This vibrant, club-savvy collection, characterized by the driving dance rhythms and upbeat outlook of Widelife/Simone Denny's sassy QE theme song "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)," is but the first in what's planned as a series of show-inspired music anthologies. But while the collection's club chi-chi quotient (which includes an exclusive Chemical Bros. remix of Kylie Minogue's smoldering Euro smash "Slow," the US debut of Jamelia's synth-funk UK hit "Superstar" and "Everybody Wants You to Emerge, a giddy mixmaster smash-up of Fischerspooner and Billy Squier) is enough to recommend it, its expansive spirit also includes remixes from Sting and the newly reunited line-up of Duran Duran, as well as the standout dance track "An Area Big Enough To Do It In" by Omega Prophet and the coda of Elton John's Soulful 1979 hit, "Are You Ready For Love." --Jerry McCulley

Queer Eye CD.......2007-01-11

Good mix of music. Great listening for driving, dancing or on a plane trip!

Great workout, driving, and family singing along music.......2006-02-25

I bought this album because several songs were showing up in my Jazzercise workout. Now, our whole family of five loves it and sings along in the car. We call it dance/pop with a twist. These tracks remind me of UK pop, and no one does it better than the British. So where's the sequel to this album?!

A music and manfest that anybody would kill for!.......2005-05-16

I listened to this CD in the car on the way home from a client's drab-to-fab new sitting room and just about got myself pulled over. It was like I was drunk, girl, this album is the bombinacious. From the Chemical Brothers to Durran2, every track is an absolute peach. And you don't have to spit out the pits. Get this album in your collection or crawl back to the stoneage. I'm for real.

Quite a nice mix........2005-01-09

This CD is a nice offering to the award winning reality television show. Music is nice mix of several music styles. Its not just dance music. I love the Bravo Network TV Show. Get this musical CD. Its an easy listen.

"Take Your Ears from Drab to Fab.".......2004-08-20

I'm not really a huge fan of the Bravo series "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," for reasons I needn't get into. This is, after all, a MUSIC review, and as such, I'll focus on the soundtrack, which happens to be much better than I expected. Albums of this sort appear to be gimmicky marketing tie-ins, featuring second-rate tracks from popular artists who wouldn't otherwise include them on their own releases. But as it turns out, it's a pretty solid collection of tunes that seesaw from pop to dance. As a child of the 1980s, my personal favorite is the Jason Nevins remix of Duran Duran's "Sunrise," the group's first song featuring all five original members in 19 years. It's a funky fusion of rock and electro, and it's a nice preview to the band's "Astronaut" album. But the fun doesn't stop there. The Chemical Brothers give Kylie's "Slow" a radical makeover, and Billy Squier's 1982 gem "Everybody Wants You" gets a modern update. Other highlights are a remix of Sting's "Never Coming Home," Basement Jaxx's "Good Luck, and Elton John's 1979 recording "Are You Ready for Love." It says a lot when a non-fan of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" gives this soundtrack four stars. The material here is strong enough to make this an interesting choice for both fans and non-fans of the TV series.

Bravo Channel's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is a huge hit, and that means it's time for the inevitable soundtrack. Featuring remixes and dance tracks selected by the show's "Fab 5" stars, it's a pretty sweet batch, with some unexpected surprises amid the usual hands-in-the-air house anthems. Beginning, of course, with Widelife (featuring Simone Denny) performing the show's theme song, "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)," the mix stays energetic with ubiquitous dance floor hits like Junior Senior's "Move Your Feet." The first surprise comes courtesy of the Chemical Brothers, adding severe thump to Kylie Minogue's already addictive "Slow." But that's just a warm-up for the record's wackiest combo as producer Barry Harris wires Fischerspooner and Billy Squier together for an opposites-attract masterpiece. Elsewhere, Liz Phair and Elton John provide more acoustic touches, while brief snippets of dialogue from the Queer Guys themselves add bits of their now-familiar fey humor and urban insights. --Matthew Cooke

Customer Reviews:

The songs match the Fab Five..........2005-02-04

Both the show and the soundtrack keep in pace with each other, they are fast-paced, humorous, and energetic. One could listen to this CD at least a million times and be intoxicated with one song for each sitting. I personally love "Never Coming Home" by Sting and "Sunrise" by Duran Duran. It's only fitting for a devoted QE4theStr8Guy fan like myself to buy the CD, and personally I'm not dissapointed...despite the fact I did not have the chance to buy the limited edition album. I really love the music video! Dance Jai, Dance!

Okay, I have to admit it..........2004-07-09

I bought this CD for only one song... Duran Duran's "Sunrise - remix", the first new track from the original "Fab Five" in almost 20 years. That alone is worth having the disc. And yes, the TV show is hilarious too! So go get a patch of "Sunrise" and play it back to back with Sting's remix of "Send Your Love"...

You will find a new song to love........2004-04-07

This is a killer collection of songs.
Look at the track listing. You will probably know and/or like at least one act listed there.
If you do, then I guarantee you that you will find a new song to love. You will discover another act. You will seek out their own CDs.
That is probably the highest praise one can give a compilation disc.
The title song is enjoyable fluff, "Move Your Feet" is insanely catchy, the new Duran Duran tune is great for us old DD fans.
I was already fond of the OK Go and Liz Phair songs...
Nice vintage Elton John track too.
The rest are interesting as well. My only disappointment is in the lackluster Sting remix.

So, if any of these tunes pique your interest, several others will as well.

A fabulous album filled with great music.......2004-02-23

This is a great colleciton of music for both fans of the TV show and for music lovers. It contains some great dance mixes including the theme song "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)" by Widelife with Simone Denny, "You Promised Me" by InGrid, "Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior, "Good Luck" by Basement Jaxx featuring Lisa Kekaula, and a great song titled "Everybody Want You To Emerge" by Fischerspooner vs. Billy Squier. And, there's more than just dance mixes. They've included "Extraordinary" by Liz Phair, "Superstar" by Jamelia (pop/R&B), Sting, OK Go, Kylie Minogue, Prophet Omega, Elton John, and a new song from the original line up of Duran Duran.

The DVD that comes with the limited edition is equally good with a mini-making of for the video to "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)," the video for Kylie Minogue's "Slow" and a dance video remix of Sting's "Send Your Love."

A great music collection for everyone!!
