AKA: Life (Music Inspired by the Motion Picture)

Life 1999 Album

Various Artists

Produced by the King of R&B, R. Kelly, (tracks: 2-4, 6-10, 13, 14), and Jerry Duplessis/Wyclef Jean, (tracks: 1, 5, 11, 12, 15), with some other co-producers in the mix, this is a consistent collection of tracks. Jerry and Wyclef largely handle the tracks with more of a hip hop feel and overall they have a lower success rate than Kelly's songs. The weakest song is 'Every Which Way', co-produced by R. Kelly and Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, that sounds more like Jerkin's sound than Kelly's. Kelly Price's vocals on the gospel themed 'It's Gonna Rain' is a highlight. A soundtrack that is worth checking out. Best Tracks: It's Like Everyday, It's Gonna Rain, Fortunate, Life
