Editorial Reviews

Julia Stiles (The Devil's Own) and Sean Patrick Thomas (Cruel Intentions) star in this romantic musical drama about an interracial couple drawn past cultural barriers and united by music and dance. The soundtrack has no shortage of notable R&B and hip-hop performers. However, as the title Save the Last Dance implies, this is primarily a platform for the art of the slow dance. Rappers Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, and the late Notorious B.I.G. (featured as part of 112's track, "Only You") represent the harder end of the spectrum (however, Snoop is paired with Q-Tip and Lucy Pearl for a smoother ride than usual). But the dramatic shuffle of the soundtrack's first single, K-Ci & Jo-Jo's "Crazy," represents the best of what's offered here. Pink's playful "You Make Me Sick" and Donnell Jones's "U Know What's Up" are among the other tuneful highlights. --Rob O'Connor

4.0 out of 5 stars So many hits!, December 31, 2000

By A Customer

First of all, this movie looks great, and second, the soundtrack is chock full of awesome r&b hits. It's a very good buy. Here are the tracks: 1. THEME FROM "SAVE THE LAST DANCE" (by Fredro Star): This is a pretty good rap/soul song. I can see why it was the theme for the movie. It's very possitive and movie soundtrackish. Does that make sense? 2. YOU (by Lucy Pearl): I love this song! It's the best that I've heard from this group and it's a single now. Snoop is really cool in this one. So soulful. 3. BONAFIDE (by X-2-C): Nice name. Anyway, this is a really cool upbeat r&b track from an up-and-coming(?) boy band. 4. CRAZY (by K-Ci & JoJo): I love this song so much! This is one of the reasons I got this album. I love the soulful melody and the synthesizers work excellently with the vocals. 5. YOU MAKE ME SICK (by Pink): My girl Pink!!! She is wonderful and this song is wonderful! It's gonna be a huge hit because it's such a great, upbeat song. 6. U KNOW WHAT'S UP (by Donell Jones): I'm a little disappointed that this isn't the version with Left Eye in it, but it's still a great dance track. It's got a great beat! 7. MOVE IT SLOW (by Kevin Edmonds): This is a really nice r&b ballad, and usually I don't like these kind. It's got a cool "bounce" part towards the end of the song. 8. MURDER SHE WROTE (by Chaka Demus & Pliers): I haven't heard of them but I want to hear more! This is an awesome reggae flavored track with a great beat. 9. BREATHE AND STOP (by Q-Tip): This is a great party song by Q-tip. I'm sure everyone's heard it. Hey! Check Q-tip out on Janet Jackson's "Velvet Rope," the best album ever!! 10. YOU CAN DO IT (by Ice Cube): This is a favorite! It's like a brainless party song with an irresistable beat! Great for dancing and great sound effects! 11. MY WINDOW (by Soulbone): This track is okay. It's pretty slow and has a real soulful sound to it. It also has kind of a whistling sound to it. 12. ONLY YOU (by 112 w/ Notorious B.I.G.): This is a great uptempo song with a great beat. It's got that whiny boy band thing going on, but it's still pretty good. 13. GET IT ON TONITE (by Montell Jordan: This is yet another huge hit! It's a great party starter with a great beat. I mean, it's practically a modern classic! 14. ALL OR NOTHING (by Athena Cage): This is a really great uptempo r&b song. You've heard this on all the previews for this movie. I know you have! It's very good. ~ no lyrics included

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality Soundtrack, January 3, 2001

By	Chris Bauer (Shoreline, wa United States) - See all my reviews

I just went and picked this Soundtrack up and from the first listen it sounded pretty quality. The new movie is gettin alot of talk from Mtv so from that you know the Disc will be chalk full of contemperary beats. From the first track the theme from save the last dance it starts off as a dance/r&b groove. After this it moves to the hottest song on the cd with an 3 aritsts who seem to mix greatly. Snoops smooth flows perfectly off set Lucy Pearls souly sounds on a very funky song. The Disc moves on the the single Crazy by K-CI and JoJo. Which is a pretty stong song with a slow beat and some vocal distortions. Murder She Wrote adds some world sound to the disc wiht a Regga Beat and strait up Regga Vocals. The only problem that i see with the disc is that half the songs on the soundtrack can be found on other discs. this isnt a huge problem since the songs are quality with "breath and stop" from Q-tip and "Get it on tonight" from Montell Jorden but if u already own the Artists Albums then u have alot of the songs already. But over all this is a Quality soundtrack thats very well suited for the Mtv genaration. And how could u pass this up its got "You can do it" from Ice Cube, Now thats hot.
