subject: Footloose (music From The Motion Picture) [deluxe] Review [print this page] The highly anticipated Footloose remake has a soundtrack filled with amazing music that will make anyone get up and dance. Most remember Footloose as the 1980s film starring Kevin Bacon but now the movie and the songs that became hits will remerge with a new and unique perspective. Many individuals who are nostalgic about the original movie and Footloose soundtrack may be unwilling to welcome this new addition but there are a few things about the new soundtrack that should be celebrated. You will find that many of the original soundtracks classic tunes have been updated to cater to the new generation of fans. The new Footloose soundtrack gives younger movie goers and music fans an inside look at what it felt like to be in the 1980s and enjoy the original music.
The Footloose Deluxe soundtrack features Blake Sheldon singing the title track that was originally made famous by Kenny Loggins. The remake of the Footloose song still has a dance/pop feel, with a country twist. If you are a fan of the original soundtrack, you will be pleasantly surprised by hearing how your favourites were updated. In addition to Blake Sheldon, the new Footloose Deluxe soundtrack has a host of country superstars. Singers from Big & Rich to Zac Brown have updated a song from the famous movie. Country newcomer, Ella Mae Brown contributed an update to Holding Out for a Hero, which was originally sung by Bonnie Tyler in 1984. Ella changed this rock song to a country ballad that definitely stood out on the album.
The 1980s dance classic, Lets Hear It for the Boy is remade by singer Jana Kramer. Kramer adds a certain country influence to Deniece Williams hit. This tune still gets people in the mood for dancing. However, the new version has a different spin and tone. The new version may not be for you if you are a lover of Deniece Williams original but if you are open to something new and different, you may enjoy the remake. Disney star Victoria Justice and singer Hunter Hayes remade the balled Almost Paradise, which was made famous by Mike Reno and Ann Wilson. Unfortunately, the remake does not match up to the original but it will certainly have its fans. The ballads of the 1980s are in a league of their own and its hard to find a song that can match up to the power of the original Almost Paradise.
There is without a doubt that the new Footloose soundtrack is different but it is a friendly reminder of the original, which is a good thing. Nostalgic individuals will have the opportunity to relive the memories they gained in the past and maybe create new ones. Young men and women who werent born when the original movie was released will have the opportunity to make new memories and enjoy the music, in their own way. The greatest thing about the Footloose songs and soundtrack is the fact that it will gain new fans and appreciation that everyone had in 1980s.
