Customer Reviews

Even Better Than the First Volume
I love this album! And not just because I'm a huge fan of Sex and the City either. The music on this soundtrack is just wonderful. You can't help but think of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte when you listen to it. While the first album dealt with the big songs most everyone heard in the movie, this second volume deals with the songs that were largely used in the background of the film. Also, we finally get the fabulous song "Click Flash" by Ciara on this soundtrack. That song was used during the huge wedding dress photo shoot scene in the film. If you were one of the many people that picked up a copy of the first volume of music from the Sex and the City movie, this is a must have! And even if you didn't get a copy of that first volume, make sure you don't miss out on this second volume. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

"Volume 2" Almost As Good as the First
At first listen, I felt Volume 2 was a bit of a let down from the first volume released a few months back. The first volume had some heavy-hitting songs that really were pulled from the biggest scenes in the movie while volume 2's songs are more obscure and (if you're like me) will leave you scratching your head wondering where exactly this or that song appeared in the film. Yet, after another listen, I have to say that this is a pretty good soundtrack and sampling of artists and songs that are lesser known but each is different and brings something new to the table.

The Good: I think the upbeat songs are much better than some of the slower songs. The faster-paced songs such as "We Got Love" by Ryan Shaw or the lesser known Janet Jackson track "2 Nite" are simply fun and help capture that whole 'Sex and the City' franchise vibe of being fashionable and letting go and being in the moment. "My First Love" by Craig David will definitely define many of the women in the film, and is relatable, in that it's harping on the whole theme of love and the lack of it in one's life. The variety of styles, genres and artists that aren't overexposed by the radio really is the driving force behind this release and makes it a fun work-out soundtrack or something to play in the background while you're working.

The Bad: There was something missing for me as a listener, and I can't put my finger on it. It doesn't help that you really can't place some of these songs so they sound random and you're unable to strike up a visual connection to a scene the music helped bring to life (a strength and appeal of the first soundtrack). There's also a lack of a really mind-blowing track like 'Labels and Love' by Fergie. This lead track of this soundtrack is 'Click Flash' by Ciara which sounds like an attempt to capture the funness of the Fergie track from the first volume ... but doesn't quite get there. I also felt the soundtrack loses steam by the end. The last four tracks are a bit dull and lacking and skippable, in my opinion.

In all, a decent soundtrack and probably a collector's item for Sex and the City fans. Check it out.

Better than Vol. 1
This is a peppy fun second volume sound track. Loved the show, loved the movie, love the music!!
