More diverse mix in BHC 2 soundtrack,
March 15, 2004 Daniel J. Hamlow (Narita, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beverly Hills Cop II: The Motion Picture Soundtrack Album (Audio CD)
Whereas the first Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack was a celebration of 80's electropop, the second one shows a split between rock and R&B/pop, with multiple producers. And hey, they had three Top Ten songs, including a #1 and #2. And three of the songs ended up on the artist/group's albums, making this soundtrack a launching pad of sorts."Shakedown" was yet another soundtrack song for Bob Seger, and this time, he hit the top, with its infectious backbeat thanks to rapid-fire keyboards and some soulful backing vocals in the chorus. If this sounds like a Billy Idol song, it's because Keith Forsey was one of the producers, the other being Harold Faltermeyer, who did one of the best songs on the first BHC movie and fresh from the Top Gun Theme.Forsey produces another track here, Charlie Sexton's "In Deep", whose fiery guitar solos and power synths and keyboards might work for Sexton but is something Forsey's star client, Billy Idol wouldn't touch with a barge pole.Canadian singer...Read more

SEGER HAS 1ST TOP TEN HIT!,
April 4, 1999 j_anto@MSN.COM (BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beverly Hills Cop II: The Motion Picture Soundtrack Album (Audio CD)
IT'S IRONIC, BOB SEGER WITH HIS RELEASE OF "SHAKEDOWN" FINIALLY HAS A TOP TEN HIT. WHAT'S UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS, IS THAT HE DID NOT WRITE THIS SONG. ORIGINALLY THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN FOR THE MOVIE BEVERLY HILLS COP II. THE PRODUCER FOR THIS FILM ORIGINALLY WANTED ERIC CLAPTON TO PERFORM THIS SONG FOR THE SOUNDTRACK BUT FOR SOME UNFORSEEN REASON HE WAS NOT AVAILABLE, (I THINK HE MAY HAVE BEEN ILL AT THE TIME)THEY ASKED BOB SEGER IF HE WAS AVAILABLE AND HE BIT. I THINK BOB SEGER WAS THE BEST CHOICE FOR THIS SONG AND AM SURPRISED THAT HE WASN'T THE ORIGINAL CHOICE. HE DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB WITH THIS PIECE AND I THINK IT IS CLASSIC SEGER. THIS SONG ALONE MAKES THIS CD WORTHWHILE. 2 THUMBS UP. ;-)
