HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SOUNDTRACK FEATURING SONGS FROM FERGIE, JENNIFER HUDSON,
AND JEM, AS WELL AS INDIE.ARIE, AL GREEN, JOSS STONE AND MORE
LOS ANGELES, April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- New Line Records will release the
original soundtrack to what promises to be the movie event of the year: the
feature film version of the beloved HBO television series "Sex And The
City," which is due in theaters from New Line Cinema on May 30th, 2008.
"Sex and the City: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack," released on May
27th, was created by in-demand music producer Salaam Remi (Nas, Amy
Winehouse, the Fugees), whose challenge, says the film's writer and
director Michael Patrick King, was "to create a soundtrack for the ultimate
movie about love." Remi wrote a brand-new opening number for the film,
"Labels or Love," which, as sung by pop superstar Fergie, re-imagines the
series' iconic theme as a fabulous pop song.
"I grew up watching 'Sex and the City'," Fergie says, "and I know a lot
of my girlfriends did as well. We felt like these characters were our
friends, so to be a part of this project has been amazing. I'm such a fan
of the show and am very flattered that they asked me to be involved."
The soundtrack also features a brand-new song from Oscar-winning diva
Jennifer Hudson, who plays a personal assistant to Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah
Jessica Parker) in the film. Hudson shows off her powerful pipes on "All
Dressed in Love" (written by MC Jack Splash and Gnarls Barkley's Cee-Lo
Green), which plays over the end credits. "Jennifer makes it almost
impossible not to dance out of the theater," King says.
The remainder of "Sex and the City: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack"
is an eclectic mix of songs from such artists as Indie.Arie, Jem, Al Green
and Joss Stone (with Stone's vocal recorded especially for the soundtrack),
and indie bands Morningwood, The Bird & the Bee, and The Weepies. The disc
also includes classics from Nina Simone and Run-D.M.C. See below for the
full track-listing.
"My hope for the soundtrack is that listening to the music will create
a special memory for the fans," King says, "something to help them remember
the movie about the love lives of their favorite girls: Carrie, Miranda,
Charlotte, and Samantha."
"Sex and the City: the Movie" continues where the acclaimed,
award-winning television series left off by following the adventures of the
show's fashion-forward foursome as they deal with sex, love, and
relationships in the city that never sleeps. Stars Sarah Jessica Parker,
Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon all reprise their roles,
while Chris Noth, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler, and Jason Lewis return as
the women's love interests. The film was written and directed by Michael
Patrick King, and produced by King, Sarah Jessica Parker, John Melfi, and
Darren Star, who created the series based on the best-selling book by
Candace Bushnell.
New Line Cinema will release "Sex and the City" in theaters nationwide
