Fame (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the film, released by Lakeshore Records on September 7, 2009. It featured vocal performances from the cast members, notably Raney Shockne, Naturi Naughton, Anjulie, Asher Book, Collins Pennie, Kay Panabaker, Megan Mullally, Rachael Sage amongst several others. [1]
Heather Phares of AllMusic wrote "the soundtrack to the 2009 remake of Fame isn't a strict reworking of the 1980 musical's songs — along with adding new songs and standards, it also includes pop songs, making it a strange hybrid of musical soundtrack, Broadway revue, and a soundtrack to films like Step Up and Stomp the Yard . Only a few of the original musical's songs survived the retooling." [3] He concluded "At times, this Fame feels like it's trying to be all things to all audiences, but it still manages to be a crowd-pleaser." [3]
