Album Description
NINE - THE MOVIE - BASED ON 7-TIME TONY AWARD-WINNING BROADWAY MUSICAL

The soundtrack bonus tracks including:

* Ron Fair Remix of "Cinema Italiano"- exclusive new song written for the movie-performed by movie cast member Kate Hudson is her premiere as a recording artist

* "Unusual Way" by new Geffen Records artist Griffith Frank

All-star cast on soundtrack album: Daniel Day-Lewis, Penélope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Fergie (Stacy Ferguson), and Sophia Loren

Plus bonus tracks by Fergie ("Quando Quando Quando"), Noisettes ("Io Baci, Tu Baci")

The vibrant and provocative musical production NINE, premiered on Broadway in 1982 to critical acclaim (winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical), and successfully revived in 2003 (winning another two Tonys, including Best Revival), is the most hotly anticipated movie of the holiday season, directed by Rob Marshall, and starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Penélope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Fergie (Stacy Ferguson), and Sophia Loren. The Weinstein Company film - which will include new songs by original composer-lyricist Maury Yeston that were not in previous stage versions - will open in New York and Los Angeles on December 18th, and nationwide on Christmas Day.

The Ron Fair Remix of "Cinema Italiano" sung by the Oscar-nominated Kate Hudson marks the actresses' premiere as a recording artist. The song is one of Yeston's exclusive new compositions for the film.

NINE follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife Luisa (Marion Cotillard), his mistress Carla (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse Claudia (Nicole Kidman), his confidante and costume designer Lillie (Judi Dench), young American fashion journalist Stephanie (Kate Hudson), the prostitute Saraghina from his youth (Fergie), and his Mamma (Sophia Loren).

The soundtrack album summarizes the story of NINE as indicated by the tracklisting:
1. Overture Delle Donne (Female Ensemble)
2. Guido's Song (Daniel Day-Lewis/Guido Contini)
3. A Call From The Vatican (Penelope Cruz/Carla)
4. Folies Bergere (Judi Dench/Lillie)
5. Be Italian (Fergie/Saraghina)
6. My Husband Makes Movies (Marion Cotillard/Luisa Contini)
7. Cinema Italiano (Kate Hudson/Stephanie)
8. Guarda La Luna (Sophia Loren/Mamma)
9. Unusual Way (Nicole Kidman/Claudia)
10. Take It All (Marion Cotillard/Luisa Contini)
11. I Can't Make This Movie (Daniel Day Lewis/Guido Contini)
12. Finale.

The soundtrack album will also include four bonus tracks: 13. Quando Quando Quando (performed by Fergie)
14. Io Baci, Tu Baci (performed by The Noisettes)
15. Cinema Italiano (the Ron Fair Remix performed by Kate Hudson)

5 out of 5 stars Better than expected!   December 27, 2009

Being an avid fan of the original Broadway musical, I was pleasantly surprised with the excellence of the movie soundtrack (and the movie, for that matter). As with Chicago, Rob Marshall et al. have taken a not exactly fantastic musical and turned it into a spectacular film. Even for those weary of the casting decisions (Kate Hudson? Fergie? Really?) should be enthralled.

Yes, several songs were cut- including my personal favorite "Be on Your Own". But anybody who is familiar with the musical knows these cuts were necessary, otherwise the film would have been 2.5 hours long and would not have appealed to a mass audience. The new Golden Globe-nominated song "Cinema Italiano" is a welcome addition, and is in fact the song I listen to most along with "Be Italian". Fergie deserves some major credit, by the way, as her provocative number is perhaps the most impressive of the entire film.

The entire cast does extremely well, and even for those with less than stellar vocal talents (Daniel Day Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Judi Dench)- the lack of vocal strength is hardly noticeable when coupled with such strong character performances. Orchestrations are perfect and the fusion of the original and new material is beautifully crafted, making this one of the best soundtracks of the year.

Standing ovation all around!



5 out of 5 stars Nine Is A Plus Ten!!   December 27, 2009

WOW!! Having just returned from seeing the movie and having seen the Broadway production with Antonio Banderas, Chita Rivera, et al--the movie blew me away. It is a first rate film beautifully directed by Rob Marshall and beautifully acted and sung by the entire cast! But this is not a review of the movie, but rather of the nicely produced CD, which captures all of the excitement of the film.

Sure there are tunes missing that were in the Broadway show and sure there are tunes added for the film. After hearing that a film was going to be made it seemed to me that it was next to impossible to capture what was on stage. But it has been accomplished.

Daniel Day Lewis sings well, as does Nicole Kidman. But it is Fergie and Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard who are the scene stealers in the voice department. All three do great work as singers and interpreters of Maury Yeston's fabulous score.
Dame Judi Dench does a nice rendition of Follie Bergere and Kate Hudson does well with one of the new additions written specifically for the film entitled Cinema Italiano.

The bonus tracks on the CD include a fine Fergie cut of Quando, Quando, Quando, which is in the film, but not done by Fergie. And a young singer named Griffith Frank does a nice reading of Unusual Way.

I highly recommend the soundtrack CD of this great Yeston score!



5 out of 5 stars Nine soundtrack definitely a TEN!   February 17, 2010

The movie is fun and the soundtrack is a great way to take the movie with you wherever you go!


5 out of 5 stars I liked it better than when I hear the songs sung during the movie   July 26, 2010
H. Rendleman (Anacortes, WA USA)
I wasn't sure if I would really enjoy this soundtrack as I wasn't too keen on Daniel Day Lewis's singing (although love him as an actor) and, on first blush, wasn't sure about Kate Hudson. Well, after a second review of the movie and then this sound track I was glad I had purchased it. Although still not a big fan of DDL's singing everyone else did a spot on job. And I am now a big fan of Kate's singing and dancing performance.
