Short cuts
Original Soundtrack - Dreamgirls
With an outstanding cast comprised of the talents of singer-songwriter-actress Beyoncé Knowles, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, and rising star Jennifer Hudson, the soundtrack to Dreamgirls will more than surpass your expectations.
Already while listening through the album for the first time I already made a conclusion at track 5 or 6: This is an awesome album!!!
It holds a slight sigh of a kinda contemporary Motown-Feeling. But mostly it’s filled with a lot of R&B gems - and some tiny little hints of Sly & The Family Stone even (Hinton Battle - Steppin' To The Bad Side)!
Yet two other facts have to be mentioned: Eddie Murphy can actually sing (Patience, Cadillac Car), and Jennifer Hudson has a great and impressive voice (aren't you a bit remembered of Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick or En Vogue when you hear her singing And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going or Love You I Do?!). It seems that it's more likely that Star Search-participants in the States have actually talent, not like in other countries *cough*…I really have to keep an eye on her.
By the way, Beyoncé sounds even better in a R&B-only-song (Patience) ;).
Some info on the actual movie can be found here.
Buy it:: hmv.co.uk, amazon.com, amazon.de
In Deutschland läuft der Film am 1. Februar an! Aber halt, die Geschichte von Diana und den Supremes lautet anders.
I'm sure I'm gonna love this movie. I will most likely buy the Soundtrack, AND the DVD when it comes out here ;).
