Product Description
CD Description
This is a collection of Jason’s favourite 80s songs, a tribute to the decade that first introduced us to the easy-going actor/singer who rose to fame via the Australian TV show Neighbours. Soundtrack of the 80s is a feel-good collection of legendary 80s hits including Tear for Fears anthem ‘"Wants To Rule The World", Cutting Crew’s power ballad "(I Just) Died In Your Arms" and Mike & The Mechanic’s world-wide number one, "The Living Years". The album also features three brand new tracks written by Jason: "Innocence", "Talk You Down" and "Good Night Baby" (written for his children). Jason has sold a staggering 13 million albums worldwide, and is only fitting that his latest album marks a return to the period in time that launched it all.

Okay, so he isn't the greatest interpreter of songs & hasn't got the best voice in pop, but his abilities are far greater than a previous reviewer would have you believe. He has chosen an excellent brace of 80s songs, & sings them with verve & gusto, his vocals lusty, bright & honest. He obviously really enjoys singing these songs because it comes across in his delivery, & I really enjoy listening to them. Yes, I have most of the tracks by the original artists & love playing them still, but I find this CD a joyous listen. It's honest-to-goodness, straight-forward, enjoyable pop! It makes me happy. What more could you ask of an album?
Okay, I have now had this album for a week or so & after having given it many more plays, I felt I wanted to add to my initial review. I now believe that his voice has actually improved since his 80s hey-day. Listen to Don't Leave Me This Way to surely hear a wider vocal range. He can certainly hit those high notes. Also, there is greater light & shade in his voice, & I love the gentle, warm huskiness he uses for Sign Your Name, & he puts it to excellent use again in the self-penned new song, Goodnight Baby. This is destined to become of of my all-time favourite albums. I can't get enough of it! Give it a go!!

In the 80's and 90's I bought a few CD's by Jason Donovan. Mostly because I liked his voice very much, but the SAW-productions were not really my cup of tea. Several years ago Jason surprised us with the magnificent 'comeback' CD "Let it be me" and now there is "Soundtrack of the 80s". Jason's voice is even better than at the time he was a huge star. It sounds warmer and his interpretation of the songs is wonderful. For the ones who don't believe me: have a listen to the songs here on Amazon!
I'm looking forward to the next CD and hope that in the meantime this (and the previous) album will get the attention it deserves. Well done, Jason!

I love 80s music and I love Jason Donovan so two combined are right down my street. THE only thing I would say is a some of th songs aren't as good as the original, but I love I anyway

Great Album
Great album of 80's cover hits by Jason. Popular hits of the day, you know the words and the songs and can't help singing along too. Great!

Originality Is Lacking
When covering a batch of hits from the '80s--many of which have been overplayed as it is--you have to put a fresh spin on them to gain a listener's ear. Read more

An OK idea but ....
This would be a good idea if it was by a modern day artist who could really sing but knowing it's by someone who had their own substantial hits more than 20 years ago themselves... Read more
