The creators of the soundtrack to Never Been Kissed cleverly broadened its appeal by mixing old, new and extremely diverse pop gems. The inclusion of John Lennon`s "Watching The Wheels," and "Don`t Worry Baby" by the Beach Boys immediately indicate that this isn`t your average pitch for teen niche marketing. The fact that the collection is well-rounded casts the contemporary material in favorable relief, and literate, hook-filled tracks by the likes of Willis ("Standing By") and Block ("Catch A Falling Star") hold up well among the classics.
The languid grooves of The Cardigans ("Erase/Rewind"), surreal balladeering from R.E.M. ("At My Most Beautiful") and a freaky booty-mover from kooky Latin ska-heads Ozomatli ("Cumbia de los Muertos") give the set a wonderful breadth and range, while keeping listeners on their toes. Well-chosen and sequenced, the sixteen tracks collected here offer something for almost everyone.
