VA [2021] - First Wives Club (Music from the BET+ Original Series) [Paramount Music]


A compilation of music, presumably, played during the "First Wives Club" BET TV series which is adaptation of the 1996 movie which starred Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler and Diane Keaton. The BET series stars Jill Scott, Michelle Buteau and Ryan Michelle Bathe.

The soundtrack mainly features two artists, Deborah Cox and Ayana George with three tracks each, the other two tracks include a cover on LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" sung  by Deborah Cox, Shanice Knox, Chante Moore and Kelly Price and "David & Gary Rap Battle" by Mark Tallman and RonReaco Lee which says it all!

Three of the six tracks by Cox & George are short interludes and the rap battle is only 1:30 so they are 'pushing it" asking full price £7.99 for this album which only includes four full length tracks!

I would have selected Ayana George's "Go There" as the standout track but it is only 55 seconds which is a shame. Similarly Deborah Cox's "I Do" sounds good but again is only 37 seconds. That just leaves the cover of Lady Marmalade (but do we really need this?) and Deborah Cox's "What You Owe" which is quite a peasant neo soul/R&B ballad.

Ayana George is a new name to me, she is Christian recording artist from the Bronx, NY who is also an actress.
