Evita CD will satisfy fans
Madonna displays newer, more mature talent in soundtrack
By Ashlee Roll Kansan staff writer
The most anticipated movie soundtrack of the year finally is here.
With all of the hype surrounding the new Madonna movie/musical, the expectations of *Evita* are high. And for the most part, the soundtrack lives up to those expectations, although it can be bipolar in many respects, one moment being overly dramatic and the next kitschy.
The first disc begins the story of Eva Peron and her experiences as a young woman.
The second disc explores Eva's transformation into the first lady of Argentina.
The song Rainbow High provides the catchiest line of the musical:
"They need to adore me/ so Christian Dior me/ from my head to my toes."
true to the 1979 Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, new lyrics have been added to the song The Lady's Got Potential.
Along with new lyrics, a new song also has been added to the soundtrack. You Must Love Me, a song from Eva to her husband as she faces death, has been released as the first single from the soundtrack.
Those familiar with the musical will enjoy the new soundtrack. Those who buy it simply because they like Madonna are in for a disappointment much like the one her fans felt with her album I'm Breathless, which was inspired by the film Dick Tracu.
And I think we all remember how well that went over.
One problem with Evita is that the music is from a '70s play that is being interpreted into a '90s movie, so it sounds outdated at times. During songs like The Money Kept Rolling in (And Out) and Eva Beware of the City, one almost can picture the Casio keyboards and drum machines.
Considering that *Evita* was the first musical written by lyricist Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber after
Jesus Christ Superstar,Evita has the same type of musical style, which seems inappropriate for this story.
REVIEW
But Madonna's vocals are impressive. Since winning the part of Eva Peron, she has taken voice lessons from the same person who trained Patti Lupone, the original Broadway Evita.
Although she seems uncomfortable with some of the higher-pitched songs, Madonna's voice has matured since she first whined onto the scene in 1985 with Borderline.
Antonio Banderas plays the part of Ché, and his singing is surprisingly good. It is refreshing to see a Spanish-speaking man playing the part of a Spanish-speaking man.
For fans of the musical, this soundtrack is everything that it promised it would be. The sound quality of this CD far surpasses the original Broadway recording with Lupone.
However, if this is your first Evita experience, give yourself some time to get used to the new, refined Madonna. With *Evita*, she just might be a movie star yet.
Make commitments now. You'll be lucky with money in December, so go for the gold. Heed an older loved one's advice in February. Take an extrajog to surge ahead in April. July is best for travel by water. Fight for what you believe in this September.
