Brother Bear

I really had doubts about this whole brother bear project at first buti gave it a chance and when i saw the movie i was blown away. Unlike others i was not impressed by tarzan, i thought the music didn't match the feeling and style of the movie. Brother Bear was the complete opposite I felt that the music perfectly fit the visuals and the mood of the film. Many will listen to this album on its own and doubt the quality of this music but remember its meant to combine and accentuate the moods and moments in this beautiful wonderful film. If you want to really experience this soundtrack see the movie and the music will come alive for you.

ONE: Look Through My Eyes

This one is the best off the whole CD. From the start of the music, you can tell it's going to be an upbeat and charging song. You aren't, however, prepared for the more emotional quality you find in it. This track has a style all its own. It's a one you'll probably find yourself lip-syncing to, easily. It draws you right in, and I don't think Disney could have started their Soundtrack with a better song!

TWO: Great Spirits (Tina Turner)

I wasn't as impressed with this track, mostly because Tina's voice is not my favorite style. It's very deep and powerful, and really quite professional. I've no doubt that many will enjoy such music as this. As to the lyrics, looking past the Indian message that is put across, I greatly enjoyed the way this track was mixed. In the end, this song is still worth hearing, if only for a taste of originality. (Phil Collin's version of this song is excellent, but only available through certain US stores)

THREE: Welcome

I thought the "Brother Bear" soundtrack felt very similiar to the "Tarzan" soundtrack but that's perfectly fine with me because Tarzan was perfect in every way possible, so why change that formula. The song "Look through my eyes" is something that I expect will get alot of radio airplay once the movie is out and songs like "Welcome", "No way out", "On my way" and "Transformation" are all excellent pieces of music by Phil Collins. I haven't even seen the movie yet and I already know every piece of music on it, I think that says alot for a great movie soundtrack, I hope the movie is as good as it's music.
