Felicity: Senior Year
July 20th, 2008 by admin
Felicity: Senior Year The soundtrack to Felicity’s fictional final college year, Senior Year is tinged with many of the same emotions found in real senior years–sadness, love, and a desire to hold on to the present for just a little while more. A talented and diverse crop of singer-songwriters communicates these nuanced feelings through inoffensive, stripped-down rock tracks. Alt-country’s Ryan Adams offers a subdued piano-and-acoustic ode to being torn between lovers, chanteuse Chantal Kreviazuk warbles strongly about longing, and country singer Shelby Lynne seduces with a steamy soul number. Other highlights include Andy Stochansky, sounding like Belle and Sebastian fronting Travis; Jude’s warm tenor and guitar tones conjuring the best power pop of the 1970s; and Sixpence None the Richer’s new track, a beautiful string-laden delicacy. Despite how easy it would be for the sticky topics of desire and love to become sappy, Senior Year largely avoids such pitfalls. Better still, the album rarely sounds bland, coming across instead as a compilation of brainy coffeehouse poetry matched word for word by equally interesting instrumentation. –Annie Zaleski
Customer Review: Most Gorgeous TV Soundtrack Ever
Felicity was my favourite tv show during high school. It was so easy to relate to the emotions the characters felt, even if some of the things they went through were a little unrealistic or at times too much for a teenager to understand.
This soundtrack - that is not available in Australia - is the most beautiful compliation of music I have experienced. The soundtrack definately captures the feel of the show. It is full of little gems - artists that are well-kept secrets (at least from this part of the world).
I am glad I purchased it. Now I will definatly have to track down the other three.
Get it if you can. Enjoy it! Reminis about one of the best shows ever on TV (when it was not all reality rubbish and celebrity tedium).
Thanks.
