Space Jam: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture 1996 Album

Various Artists

'Fly Like an Eagle', 'I Believe I Can Fly' and 'Hit 'Em High (The Monstars' Anthem)' are fantastic songs and offer variety from soul, R&B to boom bap. Aside from that, the Coolio track, 'The Winner' is decent. 'I Found My Smile Again' by D'Angelo is a nice 6 minutes, but I don't find that his music goes anywhere. The songs end as they begin. The title track and 'Givin' U All That I've Got' provide some decent breakbeat/dance music. Elsewhere, 'For You I Will', 'I Turn to You' and 'All of My Days' are worthy R&B tunes, with the latter being the better song of the three. The final song, 'Buggin'', is Bugs Bunny rapping... Would anyone listen to this more than once? 'Basketball Jones' is another almost novelty record with Chris Rock shouting out comedic lines between Barry White's singing. The instrumentation is quite nice, it could've been a better song. Like most soundtracks, this is a mixed bag and it doesn't feature enough supreme moments for a higher score. Best Tracks: Fly Like an Eagle, I Believe I Can Fly and Hit 'Em High (The Monstars' Anthem)
