A reinvention of the original Oscar-winning hit film, Fame ! This a remake of the original musical & soundtrack made popular in the 80’s. The album features stunning tracks by the cast and other popular songs from the incredible film. After taking a listen to it (courtesy of the nice people at Universal Music), here’s what I think of it!

- 2.Fame – Naturi Naughton
- 3.Big Things – Anjulie
- 4.Ordinary People – Asher Book
- 5.This Is My Life – Hopsin, Ak’Sent, Tynisha Keli & Donte “Burger” Winston
- 6.Out Here On My Own – Naturi Naughton

- 14.Try – Asher Book
- 15.You Took Advantage Of Me – Megan Mullally
- 16.Too Many Women (Damon Elliott Remix) – Rachael Sage
- 17.Someone To Watch Over Me – Asher Book
- 18.You Made Me Love You – Raney Shockne featuring Oren Waters
- 19.Hold Your Dream – Naturi Naughton, Asher Book, Kay Panabaker
Quite a well-balanced list of up-tempo numbers and a few ballards, though it was almost like Naturi Naughton EP because you can see the name in almost every other song ! Voice isn’t too bad and I thought “Out here on my own” was quite a nice track. Then again, I’m biased since I like Asher Book (featured here as my last AOTW with his song “Try”) alot more ! Love his cover of John Legend’s “Ordinary People” as well !
In my opinion, kids from the Drama/Dance Club will love this OST because of the upbeat songs and if you’ve caught the movie, you’ll know what it is all about. The strong dance-pop influenced album is more of a crowd-pleaser rather than focusing on the original soulful music. Still worth listening if you enjoyed the movie or just need something easy to listen to while working !
The movie is already screening in cinemas since 25th Sept (I know I’m pretty SLOW at this, catch it NOW if you have not) ! The soundtrack is also available out in stores, check out getmusic.com.sg for more information.
