Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Smooth music devoid of flash but rich in vintage hip-hop and soul dominates the accompaniment to the urban love story, Brown Sugar. Mary J Blige's "Never Been" pulses like a gentle lullaby ode to desire, and Jill Scott's "Easy Conversation" flutters with her sultry, airy voice and mellow strumming. Angie Stone's "Bring Your Heart" pulses with lazy piano countermelody and honey-sweet vocals, while Cassandra Wilson's take on Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" is understated and folkish. Mos Def provides an edge to several tracks--"Breakdown", featuring fade-away horns, and the "fine", fiercely rhymed version of "Brown Sugar". On a similarly up-tempo bent, the Roots add in funky echoes and stutters to "Act Too (Love of My Life)," Black Star's "raw" version of "Brown Sugar" is sharp-tongued, and Eric B & Rakim's sample-happy "Paid in Full" is a sprawling trip down old-school hip-hop's memory lane. Yet for all of its nods to the past, Brown Sugar sounds distinctly modern. Instead of just rehashing the past, its artists celebrate the spirit of bygone days with warm affection and loving care, which envelops the soundtrack in a cohesive and comforting glow. --Annie Zaleski

5.0 out of 5 stars Theres nothing sweeter!, 12 Oct 2002
This has to be one of the best soundtrack albums for some time, if ever. If you like 'neo' soul than this album is a must.

Jill Scott, takes the breathy and cello stroked route to heaven on Easy Conversation.While Angie Stone delights in a meaty ballad on Bring your heart. Meanwhile Erykah is earthier and includes her new beau Common on Love of my life. Whilst Rashaaan continues to tease us with You make life so good and with the likes of Mos Def, the Roots, and Talib keeping it real you seriously can not afford to miss this one.

Soundtrack albums usually have 1 track which sells it and the film and the rest are just fillers;HOWEVER this has NO fillers it is one tune after another of pure musical bliss!!! A must!

Go on, you know you want too, this is a 5 star rating and more, miss it at your pearl!

1.0 out of 5 stars What a tight-fisted way to sell music, 19 Aug 2005
By A Customer
The album itself is great but BEWARE!! This cd is protected against copying so you are unable to download to mp3/ipod.

This to me is very tight and cheap, I now have a useless cd.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good soundtrack, 29 Jan 2009
It's quite simple. If you love the songs in the movie then you'll love the soundtrack. The only problem I have is that I wanted to hear one song in particular but it wasn't in the album. It's a bit of a shame but still a great album! 7/10.
