Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Fashion shows tend to be set to pretty cutting-edge music these days, but you'd hardly know it based on the soundtrack to this movie on life at a fashion mag: Not only does it start with Madonna, but the song is "Vogue"--pretty much the single most obvious choice there could be. That said, "Vogue" remains a great track: It hasn't aged one bit since its 1990 release, and fits in well with the first of two variations on dance music offered here: club anthems (see also DJ Colette's "Feelin' Hypnotized," David Morales and Tamra Keenan's "Here I Am") and sophisticated lounge (Bitter:Sweet's "Bittersweet Faith," Mocean Worker's "Tres Tres Chic"). The latter style also feeds directly into Theodore Shapiro's score, which is represented only on the jazzy suite that concludes the CD. The balance of the tracks is made up of elegant, well-crafted songs that feel perhaps a bit too… polite (Alanis Morissette's cover of Seal's "Crazy," Moby's "Beautiful"). It would have been nice to get more curve balls, like the aforementioned Mocean Worker and Azure Ray's lovely "Sleep," which fans of Imogen Heap should dig. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

1.0 out of 5 stars Deceiving, July 26, 2006

By 

cottoneye (Québec, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Devil Wears Prada (Audio CD)

The two songs I really liked in the movie are NOT on this soundtrack (KT Tunstall's ''Suddenly I see'' and Belle and Sebastian's ''I Don't Love Anyone''). I could understand Belle and Sebastian not being on it since their song was playing in the background (in a bar) but Suddenly I See is playing during the opening credits AND it plays for like 3 minutes!!! It really should have been on this CD.

I really recommend you check the tracks before buying this. I'm not happy with my purchase.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Reviewers Were Right, August 25, 2006

By

This review is from: Devil Wears Prada (Audio CD)

I actually read the tepid reviews for this CD but I believed that it couldn't be that bad. Okay, I was wrong. The reviews are correct. If you're gonna buy this CD then buy it used and cheap. It certainly ain't worth the $13.99 I spent. It's just so weird that the movie seemed to have a really great track list and the CD is so mediocre. Maybe it was the surround sound making the boring songs sound better than they were? On the plus side, I'm happy to have the Jamiroquai track "Seven Days in Sunny June". Though not one of their best songs I still enjoy it. The star track is "Here I Am" by David Morales. A really great dance song that immediately makes me think of the runway and designer clothes. I really wish the CD had more uptempo tracks like that. The "Devil" Suite is actually pretty clever. I like listening to it but after the first minute it can get a little stale. Overall, this is not the trendy disc I thought it was gonna be. I was expecting more dance and club songs but got a bunch of whiny, teen drama inspired ballads and some old throwaway songs from Madonna and U2. Don't get me wrong. "Vogue" will always be a classic but everyone has that song by now. They should have picked something new and/or obscure in it's place like the song playing during the opening credits. Again, I say, if you really want to buy this soundtrack wait for it to be reduced to a $1 on Ebay and then add it to your collection.
