Well this is just a little bit genius. The ever-brilliant Liza Minnelli has put her FABULOUS spin on Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” for the Sex and The City 2 official soundtrack. It definitely reminds me of what Dame Shirley Bassey did with P!nk’s “Get The Party Started” back in 2006…very theatrical and over the top…but not in a bad way. I would love to see this song get released as a single! Minnelli also makes a much hyped cameo on the film…hmm…might actually have to see this one! In addition to Minnelli, the SATC 2 Soundtrack features new songs from Dido (as previously mentioned), Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis and Jennifer Hudson. The soundtrack also features previously recorded contributions from Keys, Erykah Badu, Belgian singer Natacha Atlas, Aussie pop star Ricki-Lee and more! You can pick up your copy on May 25th.
