Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Baadasssss! starring, written and directed by Mario Van Peebles, is based on Melvin Van Peebles journey from the inception through to the release of his 1971 film Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song. The film also stars David Allen Grier, Nia Long, Joy Bryant and Adam West. Sweet Sweetbacks is considered the original "blaxploitation" film, which spawned a film genre that has hugely since influenced black popular culture. In the spirit of the film and the originals' accompanying soundtrack, Baadasss is a compilation that ties together the revolutionary themes of the film, Black representation, community, art vs. commerce and the sacrifices necessary to maintain artistic autonomy. Featured on the soundtrack are Pete Rock Featuring Pharoahe Monch, Jean Grae, King Floyd, Zap Mama, War, Roy Ayers, and Eric Roberson.

Writer-director Marc Lawrence's romantic comedy gently satirizes the music industry's past and present via Hugh Grant's Alex Fletcher, a has-been Rock of the '80s icon given another shot at the charts by young pop diva Cora Corman (newcomer Haley Bennett). Grant gives some surprisingly credible--if often gently tongue-in-cheek--performances in his musical debut; indeed, he carries better than half the soundtrack with his earnest vocal charms. The production gets key help from Fountain of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, who contributes a delicious, loving send-up of Wham! courtesy of "Meaningless Kiss," the emotive piano confessional "Don't Write Me Off," and two versions of "Way Back into Love," the comeback ballad/duet that drives the story line. A playful demo version of the latter pairs Grant with co-star Drew Barrymore (playing the florist who becomes Fletcher's unlikely songwriting foil), while Grant's ultimate duet with young Bennett evokes contemporary pop conceits with a keen, affectionate flair that also graces the young singer's Britney-esque "Buddha's Delight," "Slam," and the more obviously snarky "Entering Bootytown." Rounding out the collection are a pair of complimentary tracks by Swedish pop acts: The Sounds' bouncy "Tony the Beat" and the club-slinky groove of Teddybears' "Different Sound." Highlighted by Grant's sympathetic vocals and a knowing musical sensibility that never quite lapses into mere parody, it's a pop-lover's delight from start to finish. --Jerry McCulley

The Problem Is - I Want More.......2007-07-12

This is another instance where I thought the movie was, ".....eh", but I love the soundtrack.

I was a little irked at what I felt was another attempt to show that the 80s was nothing more than a vapid, superficial decade which only produced goofy, forgettable, lightweight fluff. Yes, there was a lot of that, but there were also many serious, moving, culture-defining moments as well. If we want to assume that "My Humps" summarizes all of the music produced during the current decade, then I'll buy in that "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" was what the 80s was all about.

Anyway, half of songs here are designed to sound like they came out in the mid-80s; obviously the ones Hugh Grant sings on are supposed to be like the equivalent of Wham! (not that Wham! was a synth-pop band, but whatever). And I have to say - they're great songs, and it's a pleasant surprise that Hugh sings; his voice works well with these songs!

When I went to see this movie, people in the audience were laughing at the "music video" for "Pop Goes My Heart", and I was like, "Why are you laughing?? Videos were in its infancy back then, so many of them by today's standards appear kind of goofy!" Awesome song; love the "crash" after "Pop" during the chorus. "Meaningless Kiss" is a great knock-off of "Careless Whisper" (whatever happened to the infamous saxophone solos anyway?). "Tony The Beat" is reminiscent of "Push It" by Salt N' Peppa, and for the longest time I couldn't decide if the singing during the chorus was annoying or not; eventually I decided it wasn't (although just barely).

Now, on the "current day" songs, I love the Haley Bennett songs; the best being "Buddha's Delight" and especially "Entering Bootytown." I know these songs were written to sound like the typical Britney Spears/teen pop music from a few years back, but they're great songs regardless. There's no reason why these songs wouldn't (or shouldn't) be as popular as songs by the artists in which they were inspired by.

I was angered that Haley's songs were so wonderful, but that she was just playing a character for this movie and I'd never hear anything else from her. However, I see that she will be coming out with her own album soon.

I have to commend the writers of the songs on this soundtrack. They wrote songs as if to sound like they came from a specific time period, but still they created some great songs. However the problem with loving songs by these fictional characters is that - you want more, and unfortunately it's just relegated to this one album. If Haley's material sounds anything like what appears on this soundtrack, at least that will pacify my desire to hear more from her.

Music and Lyrics CD.......2007-07-11

Excellent collection of lighthearted songs from the movie. I never knew Hugh Grant had such talent! I memorized all the songs within the first week after buying the CD.

Music and Lyrics Soundtrack.......2007-07-07

I loved this movie, and I have watched it over and over again. The CD is also one of my favorites that I listen to constantly. I was very impressed by the duet, "Way Back Into Love," with Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett. All of Haley's songs were great, especially "Entering Bootytown." This little girl is a cutie, and I expect to see her become a big hit when she releases her first CD, soon. I think Hugh's solo, "Don't Write Me Off," is very good. I had no idea he could sing so well, and Drew Barrymore didn't do bad, either, with her demo version of "Way Back Into Love." It was worth the money just to hear the Haley/Hugh duet of "Way Back Into Love." They made a great team, and the song has wonderful lyrics, with a haunting melody. Loved it, loved it, loved it!

What's Wrong with a Bit of Meaningless Fluff?.......2007-07-06

Oh people...this has NO redeeming features except extraordinary chemistry between always-cute-and-sexy Hugh Grant and remarkably-focused Drew Barrymore in a simply silly but very lovely tale of a self-proclaimed has-been Eighties rocker (Grant)who commandeers his plant-care lady (Barrymore) to write some lyrics he badly needs in 48 hours.

And why does he need these lyrics? Because the greatest female pop icon of all time, Cora (played brilliantly by newcomer Haley Bennett, hilarious as a cross between Britney Spears and Christine Aguilerra) has invited him to join her on her upcoming world tour--IF he can write the "perfect song." This would mean goodbye to performances at county fairs--goodbye to has-been-hood and hello to resurrected rock-hood!

Can they do it? Can they write THE song when they only know each other's names, are completely different in age, temperament, and just about everything else? Hey--this is Hollywood.

Just fun all the way through, and the songs (both from Grant's mythical Eighties band "Pop" and his "new" hits) are actually catchy. Very enjoyable.

Hugh, Drew, and Haley-an awesome musical pair!!.......2007-07-01

When I think of Hugh Grant I think of Elizabeth Hurley's ex with the proper British accent and the 90's floppy hair. I never expected such a beautiful voice!! Wow!!! The songs are beautifully written and Grant's soothing voice over the 80's pop melodies and beautiful piano ballads was addicting! Drew Barrymore and newcomer Haley Bennet, each with their different voices, made listening to the different versions of "Way Back Into Love" very enjoyable.

This cd is good and different. It has rap on it and comedy and r&b. I really like Mysti Day on the songs. Rysque tells her story in a good way. I would recommend this to anyone. The dvd is very good too.

Product Description

'Anagram' is Jessica Congdon and Eric Holland. And Songs from Far Away is their latest collaboration; a refreshing, ephemeral electro slash indie pop record, perfectly suited to todays musical tastes and current thirst for what lies in the haze between electronic and rock. At a time where acts like Frou Frou, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Radiohead are capturing the interests of the greater public, Anagram are positioning themselves perfectly to capitalise on this trend. Partner this with the success they have enjoyed on recent film soundtracks and you have an act that is sure to attract some attention, if they havent already. Anagram draws from influences that extend beyond their place of birth and this is one of the most evident features of their music. Their sound is transient, but with confidence I can say, not fleeting in its appeal. Drawing from life experience has enriched the sound and travel especially, has given the bands music a depth that can only be drawn from maturity and a sense of place. Anagram possess a real identity that is subtle at times as it is obvious at others. Their tracks do not tell you what to think of their style or their desired meaning, they let you draw your own conclusions in your own time. Anagram are about connecting with an audience visually as well as aurally and so it is rather fitting that film soundtracks are of particular interest to the pair when it comes to future projects. Songs from Far Away will wash over you like it does the hero in the film sequence you vividly picture when listening to every track. Raw, understated attitude seeps between the confident riffs and percussive assaults that dominate this album. Torn between wanting to move and wanting to sit in reflection the words anxious, coy and confident seem an appropriate reference point, however contradictory their meaning. Slash your jeans, don your blazer and expect to hear from this group at a trendy bar, cinema or smoke-filled, basement level night-spot near you. Curious? You should be. -Brett Thompson

Save Your $$$ 4 Something Better........2001-04-21

Save your $$$ 4 a better CD. This CD is pathetic, there are big names on this CD (for example: Snoop Dogg, DMX, Mo Thugs, Eve, Layzie Bone, Daz Dillinger, etc.), but the songs on the CD are trash. This CD sounds like the left-over tracks that are always laying around that were not put on their own albums cuz they sound like s***. Save your $$$ 4 something better.

Blah.......2000-06-03

I've never given an album a 1-star rating before--until now. If any album deserves it, it's this one. Like the reviewer below me said, you always regret buyin soundtracks, but if you buy this one, you'll regret the decision even more. What a waste.
The big names are there--Mo Thugs, Daz, Snoop Dogg, DMX, Eve, Luniz, Too $hort, Kool G Rap, etc. But these have to be some of the wackest tracks put out by all of them, with the exception of maybe Snoop. I'd say some of his "Tha Doggfather" & No Limit tracks have been wacker than "Survive," but not by much! "All My Family" features recycled lyrics and uninteresting flows by Mo Thugs & Layzie Bone. Same thing with "Ryde Or Die" by DMX, Luniz, & Drag-On. That's exactly what this soundtrack does, drag ON and ON. I could describe why every track is wack, but I won't bore you.
The few OK tracks (VERY FEW) would be the title track "Turf Stories," "Playa Style," & "Shotgun Style." Even those are borderline unlistenable. Bottom line, this is a complete waste of perfectly usable CDs and CD cases. If there was a musical definition of wack in the dictionary, a picture of this CD would be next to it. DON'T BUY! Unless, of course, you're into wasting money.

weak album.......1999-12-01

like most soundtracks this one is not good as well. (i always regret buying sountracks.) on this album, the beatz are too tacky, and high profile, mainstream rappers put out an weak performance(dmx, luniz, daz, tray d, mo thugs/lazy bone). a disappointment. a few underground acts tried to rip the tracks, but the tunes and beats just couldn't take it there. And vocal/rap arrangements were stupidly produced.(eg: corny choruses, hooks and intros etc.) the saving grace of the album is "Survive" by Snoop dogg and Da Products. probably the only solid cut on this soundtrack. and the highlights of this album was The Lox and Eve with the song"Shotgun Style", and the other "aiight/ok"joints are "Better way" and "Playa Style". out of 19 tracks, not even half the album is listenable. Overrall, to sum it up, a dissapointment and a very lacking album.

Original Sound Track?.......2006-11-21

I put the question mark as this sound track to the series does NOT include the opening song that plays at the beginning of each episode. So if you are like me and looking for a copy of that song on CD this is not the place to get it. It does however have the song that plays at the end during the credits. Both versions infact.
Other than that the sound track is a nice mix of short instrumental peices that are well written and played well.
Over all this CD is ok, but not having the main song from the series is a real let down.
