I haven’t been THIS excited for a film soundtrack since Glitter back in September of 2001. OK. That’s DEFINITELY an exaggeration but I have to say…I’m pretty excited for this one. Hello!? Cher + Christina Aguilera on one soundtrack? AMAZINGNESS. While there doesn’t appear to be any duets on the album the 10-tracks seem to give both stars a chance to shine.
On November 22nd, RCA Records is set to release Burlesque, the soundtrack to the film starring Cher and Christina.
Not only does Aguilera star in the film but she also co-wrote many of the songs featured on the soundtrack. The album reads more like a slick pop production rather than a film soundtrack, featuring production from Tricky Stewart, Linda Perry and Ron Fair and additional songwriting by Claude Kelly, Tricky Stewart and Sia. Cher will be singing two brand new tracks including the Diane Warren-penned ballad “You Haven’t Seen The Last of Me,” produced by Matt Serletic. This will be Cher’s first new music in seven years so it’s kind of a BIG DEAL! In addition to the original tracks the album includes a string of covers of classics like “Something’s Got A Hold On Me” (Etta James) and “A Guy What Takes His Time” (Mae West).
Burlesque the film was written and directed by Steven Antin and produced by Donald De Line. Released by Screen Gems/Sony Pictures, the movie is out November 24th nationwide. Check out the tracklisting below and the album artwork up top.
