A Decent Soundtrack
on February 13, 2009
Posted by: Halahblue

When you take a look at the track listing for He’s Just Not That Into You Soundtrack, you’ll immediately recognize at least a handful of songs. This soundtrack plays like a mid-90s mixed tape, with a few more recent exceptions. Most notably, Scarlette Johansson sings “Last Goodbye.” It’s an enhanced CD that includes video of her singing the song in a night club. The clip was apparently cut from the film. Other than the video, the “enhanced” part of the CD falls flat. There are a few links and nothing else of interest.
You’ll likely recognize and maybe enjoy the tracks by Talking Heads, R.E.M., The Black Crowes, and The Cure. Not surprisingly, “Friday I’m in Love” made it onto this soundtrack. I didn’t skip over any songs, like I usually find myself doing with soundtracks—heading straight for my favorites—but I can’t say that I’d listen to this one more than a handful of times.
Tristan Prettyman’s “Madly,” is a melodic, getting-over-it type of song that brings up mental images of driving away from someone. Scarlette Johansson has a surprisingly lovely voice. “Last Goodbye,” is reminiscent of lounge jazz. It’s entrancing and a great listen.
If you haven’t heard most of the songs on this soundtrack already, it’s worth buying. For most people though, it’s not going to knock your socks off or anything. It’s a pretty typical, romantic comedy soundtrack.
What's great about it: Good mix of genres, consistent mood
What's not so great: a lot of well-known, older songs, nothing spectacular
I would recommend this to a friend!
