The FOX musical, comedy-drama known as “Glee†has received a lot of praise and its popularity of the show and the music has done extremely well in the US as well as in several countries. With several soundtracks released and each having entered in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 Music Charts, now here we are with a limited edition Glee EP titled “Glee: The Music – Love Songs” featuring a total of six songs from the TV series.
The EP kicks off with Finn’s (Corey Monteith) “Hello, I Love You” (originally sung by The Doors). Although there is no substituting for the original, I have to say that Monteith did a pretty awesome job with this cover and it’s great to hear the maturization of his vocals. It’s getting better and better. This song was used in the first season.
The next track “The Boy is Mine” originally by Monica and is sung by Mercedes (Amber Riley) and Santana (Naya Rivera). And when it comes to these two, when they are together, they feed off each other’s vocal energy and once again, another awesome duet by Riley and Rivera. Awesome cover!
The third track “Dream, a Little Dream of Me” is sung by Artie (Kevin McHale). The song that has been covered dozens of times and made into a hit by Frankie Lane and another time by Doris Day (originally sung by Ozzie Nelson). It’s actually a pretty cool and smoothly sung cover by McHale.
The fourth track is a memorable song used in the series…. “Tell Me Something Good” sung by Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) of the popular Rufus & Chaka Khan song. For those who remember Schuester singing the song to Sue Sylvester.
The fifth song “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” (originally sung by Elton John and Kiki Dee) is sung by Finn and Rachel (Lea Michele). Although I was forced to listen to this song as a child and can’t stand listening to it to this day, I will say that Ido like Finn and Rachel’s cover. Michele has an alluring and wonderful voice that made this song quite listenable for me once again!
The sixth song “What I Did For Love” is what made Lea Michele an incredible star on Broadway and showing us how that voice of hers was wonderful on stage and wonderful on television. Wonderfully sung!
Overall, “Glee: The Music – Love Songs” features songs not released in previous Glee album/EP releases thus far and because it’s a limited edition, if you are a big fan, you may want to check this album out. It is short and while you can find the CD at Amazon and at Target, you can also purchase these songs individually on iTunes.
You do get a different style of music featured on this limited edition release and personally, each song is pretty solid and if you are fan, it depends if you are a fan of one, otherwise like many others who are hardcore Gleeks, you’ll more than likely by the album anyway. Overall, a fun and entertaining Glee EP!
