"Independent Women Part I" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.
It's surprising that it took until 2000 for a film version of the '70s TV series CHARLIE'S ANGELS to appear. Three dazzlingly beautiful female crimefighters; its a marketing department's dream, no? The film's soundtrack is a pop fan's dream. The selections are all over the stylistic map, and agreeably so. There's the insanely catchy new wave of one-hit wonders the Vapors ("Turning Japanese"), the '70s AM pop of Looking Glass ("Brandy"), and the blue-eyed '80s soul of Spandau Ballet ("True") for a start. More contemporary contributions from the likes of Apollo Four Forty--who provide the theme song--and Destiny's Child keep this from being exclusively a nostalgia trip.
What the critics say...
Q (1/01, p.120) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...A fun, upbeat collection..."
