SOUNDTRACK REVIEW:
We would like to take this
opportunity to thank the soundtrack producers of the Fast
& Furious franchise. After four albums featuring sizzling
hot tracks to blast from the car stereo whilst driving down
our humbly built expressways, we are now blessed with a fifth
album – one that contains even more adrenaline pumping
music!
With the film set in Brazil, you can expect
the entire album to be filled with blazing tracks brimming
with raggae rhythmic beats. The mix of Latin and hip hop music
should please fans of high energy music.
Flagging off the album is the rap track “How
We Roll (Fast Five Remix)” performed by Don Omar, Busta
Rhymes, Reek da Villian and J-doe. It doesn’t matter
you have no idea these people are – because the infectious
energy of the four minute track is enough have you shaking
your booties to the music. The other standout English track
on the album is American rapper Ludacris’ “Furiously
Dangerous”, a brand new track he created for the film
(the occasional actor also stars in the movie). Featuring
hip hop supergroup Slaughterhouse and Claret Jai, the lead
single deserves repeated plays on your stereo.
There are a number of Portuguese tracks (read:
performed in foreign language) on this album. Whether it’s
the ethnic sounding “Carlito Marron” by Brazilian
musician Carlinhos Brown, the uber cool “Batalha”
by ObandO or the celebratory “Danza Kuduro” by
Don Omar (another cast in the movie) featuring Lucenzo, you’d
find yourself enjoying every moment these tunes heat up the
airwaves.
Topping it off are composer Brian Tyler’s
instrumental score from the movie. Three cues “Assembling
the Team”, “Mad Skills” and “Fast
Five Suite” are included on the album. These rock heavy
and aggressive urban tracks bring to mind exciting driving
sequences where engines vroom with exhilaration and thrill.
It is rare for song compilation soundtracks to include score
cues, so kudos to the producers for this move.
This
installment of the soundtrack is definitely worth adding to
your collection: The 50 minutes of music on this recommended
album should be enough for you to drive from one end of the
island to the other. So get ready to rev those engines!
