CD Reviews

Summertime memories

eclectictastes | Columbus, OH USA | 04/07/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Okay it's a little dated but almost 15 years after it's release the soundtrack to Do the Right Thing still stands, if not towers, over today's soundtracks.Starting off with Public Enemy's Fight the Power, the CD hooks you in and brings you back to the summer of 1989 and Gumby hairstyles. Cuts such as My Fantasy (by the woefully short-lived Guy), Can't Stand It and Party Hearty can still make you move. Don't Shoot Me by Take 6 is sadly just as relevant today.Perri's Feel So Good which many confused for Anita Baker and Keith John's Can We Try can still fit in today's Smooth Grooves radio format. Rueben Blades Tu Y Yo is a wonderfully rendered anthem. But the most glorious track on the CD is Al Jarreau's Never Explain Love. The lyrics and melancholy string arrangements will keep you hitting repeat on your CD player."

A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE...

"I finally decided to buy myself a copy of this soundtrack once I noticed the four bonus tracks that Universal decided to include on this remaster: two remixes of Public Enemy's "Fight The Power", and two remixes of Guy's "My Fantasy". The remixes are cool, but they're not exactly groundbreaking. I'll highlight the best of the rest..."Why Don't We Try" by Keith John is a pretty nice ballad, that captures the spirit of 80s soul/R&B music. "Feel So Good" by Perri is tied for my favorite song on the album. "Feel So Good" can best be described as VERY Anita Baker-ish, with a touch of gospel. "Don't Shoot Me" by Take 6 can be heard throughout Spike Lee's film; it's also a great song. "Hard To Say" by Lori Perry and Gerald Aston is more generic 80s R&B, but it still works. "Prove To Me", the second appearance by Perri is good in that 80s R&B uptempo sort of way. Reminds me of something Chuckii Booker would come up with...(remember him?)My other favorite song on the album is "Never Explain Love" by Al Jarreau. You can hear this song during the closing credits of the film, and it sounds kinda Prince-ish, with its use of "echo-ish" percussion a la "The Beautiful Ones". "Never Explain Love" also features violins that end the song beautifully (think: Janet Jackson's "Come Back To Me"). I can't forget "Tu Y Yo" by Panamanian Salsa legend Ruben Blades...Be warned though: the music featured on this album sounds amazingly dated. But if you don't mind a little "New Jack Era" nostalgia, then by all means...proceed.Thanks for reading!C.H.R."
