I bought the 'Love Actually' Original Soundtrack for my wife. We went to the cinema to watch the film while she was pregnant with our firstborn, and it seemed fitting to obtain the soundtrack. The film, in brief, is a tale of many romances interwoven and interlinked by the characters in it. It has a whole horde of star British actors and actresses, and is accompanied by a wonderful soundtrack.
There are 20 tracks, many by famous names but some by unknowns. I found this to be a wonderful balance of romance, intermingled with some fun poppy numbers and even some classical music. A very well balanced CD.
The tracks:
There are 20 tracks. Here they are:
1. Girls Aloud - Jump (For My Love) 2. Sugababes - Too Lost In You 3. Kelly Clarkson - The Trouble With Love Is 4. Dido - Here With Me 5. Billy Mack - Christmas Is All Around 6. Norah Jones - Turn Me On 7. Eva Cassidy - Songbird 8. Maroon 5 - Sweetest Goodbye 9. The Calling - Wherever You Will Go 10. Texas - I'll See It Through 11. Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now 12. Otis Reading - White Christmas 13. Wyclef Jean featuring Sharissa - Take Me As I Am 14. Olivia Olsen - All I Want For Chrstmas Is You 15. The Beach Boys - God Only Knows 16. Lynden David Hall - All You Need Is Love 17. Gabrielle - Sometimes 18. Craig Armstrong - Glasgow Love Theme 19. Craig Armstrong - PM's Love Theme 20. Portugese Love Theme
As you can see, there is a wonderful mix of tracks here, many of which were released as singles. There is even one there, number 5, by Billy Mack, who is actually the character in the film played by Bill Nighy! I loved this album as well as the film.
The CD can be bought from most retail outlets, and online for as little as £4.98 from amazon.co.uk, or £4.99 from play.com
Thanks for reading. Please check my other reviews. Thanks.
ompanying soundtrack knows its target demographic and seizes it by the throat. Dido, Norah Jones and Gabrielle in addition to a latter-day makeover of the all-woman anthem "Jump" ...

I always fell old with cd reviews simply cos I ain't heard of hardly any of the singers or groups LOL.

I enjoyed the film, so I'm bound to like this one, interesting to see which tracks are on it.

good review, though think the tracklist was unnecessary as I think you can get them under the product description usually. x
