Grant gives some surprisingly believable--if often gently tongue-in-cheek--performances in his musical debut; indeed, he carries better than half the soundtrack with his earnest vocal charms. The production gets key help from Fountain of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, who contributes a delicious, loving send-up of Wham! courtesy of \"Meaningless Kiss,\" the emotive piano confessional \"Don't Write Me Off,\" and two versions of \"Way Back into Love,\" the comeback ballad\/duet that drives the story line. A playful demo version of the latter pairs Grant with co-star Drew Barrymore (playing the florist who becomes Fletcher's unlikely songwriting foil), while Grant's ultimate duet with young Bennett evokes contemporary pop conceits with a keen, affectionate flair that also graces the young singer's Britney-esque \"Buddha's Delight,\" \"Slam,\" and the more obviously snarky \"Entering Bootytown.\" Rounding out the collection are a pair of complimentary tracks by Swedish pop acts: The Sounds' bouncy \"Tony the Beat\" and the club-slinky groove of Teddybears' \"Different Sound.\" Highlighted by Grant's sympathetic vocals and a knowing musical sensibility that never quite lapses into mere parody, it's a pop-lover's delight from start to finish. --Jerry McCulley\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 075678999710\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0075678999710\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Used Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43620775952643,"sku":"7U-THA7-1P3R","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/61mIt5PMokL.jpg?v=1671803666","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/music-and-lyrics-music-from-the-motion-picture-us-release","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
