Various Artists
MUSIC FROM QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY
(Capitol)

If this soundtrack included nothing but In-Grid’s Eurodisco-meets-Parisian-bal-musette performance of "You Promised Me (Tu es foutu)," it would merit plenty of attention from disco lovers. In fact, it offers lots of songs ripe with easy fun (for example, Jamelia’s "Superstar"), witty flirtation (Kylie Minogue’s "Slow" and Basement Jaxx’s "Good Luck"), even fancy flamboyance (Duran Duran’s "Sunrise" and Fischerspooner vs. Billy Squier’s "Everybody Wants To Emerge"). Add to these the sexy new Sting song "Never Coming Home," Widelife’s Candide-flavored dance-music radio hit "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)," OK Go’s "You’re So Damn Hot," which is full of boyish diva singing, and a new Elton John number, the 1970s Philly soul-styled "Are You Ready for Love" (welcome in a season when most discophiles are still talking about Daphne Rubin-Vega’s Eurodisco remake of "Rocket Man," a big hit late last year) and the CD becomes a must-have. Less inspired is Liz Phair’s "Extraordinary," in which the woodenness of her Pat Benatar–ish vocals and music defeats her excellent lyrics.
