Roll Bounce (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

When a pop song soundtrack truly captures the essence of a movie, you know a lot of care went into the cut selection. Roll Bounce offers such a charming and witty set that's entirely in keeping with the movie's own enchanting spirit. The mix is equally divided between the memorable sounds of the '70s (Roll Bounce unfolds in and around the '70s roller-disco craze) and present day updates of classics from the era. The old numbers are all winners that, again, seem chosen with loving consideration both for appropriateness to the scenes they accompany as well as for the attention they deserved at the time. In addition to Chic's ubiquitous "Le Freak," lesser-known '70s gems include the funky soul of Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "Superman Lover," and the wistful groove of Bill Wither's languorous, superproduced ballad, "Lovely Day." Some of the updates: a boogified version of Kool and the Gang's "Hollywood Swingin'" with Jamiroquai doing his best Kool impersonation. To keep the contemporary crowd happy, Keith Sweat is represented with the lush ballad "I Wanna Know Your Name." And there's a hotter-than-ever cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" from Michelle Williams. - Ted Fry
