Get the feedWhere the WIld Things Are Soundtrack
Monday, Nov 02nd 2009
Today's Mama has a review, which begins:
At first listen, one wonders if this is really a children's album. With the dreamy and stylish instrumentals and the almost-melancholy undertones, it is definitely a departure from traditional children's music. The soundtrack seems to be a reflection of the emotions a child is sure to experience - joy, fear, love, excitement but not necessarily what is expected from a children's album. The titles of the songs aptly represent the emotion that is sure to be elicited from listening -Hideaway is melancholy, Animal is wild, Worried Shoes is nervous. Interestingly, Rumpus is a hyper, crazy romp while Rumpus Reprise is the same thing only with adult supervision. Karen O can be credited with capturing the complexity of what seems to be something quite simple. Through her music she is able to bring to life emotions that a child would feel navigating the big world while in other songs the feeling of comfort from a loving parent is interwoven.
