The soundtrack to the
Gwyneth Paltrow stewardess comedy
View From the Top features 14 lively, lighthearted songs by female artists and female-fronted groups, including
LeAnn Rimes' "Suddenly" -- which recasts her as a more straightforward pop diva than her earlier work -- and
Sixpence None the Richer's "I've Been Waiting." Most of the soundtrack trades in the sweet, shiny pop exemplified by
Tamara Walker's "Circle of Love" and "Everywhere I Look, There's You,"
Sofia Loell's "Utopia," and
Kaci's "I'm Not Anybody's Girl," although
Natalie Grant's soulful vocals on "No Sign of It" and
Jo Dee Messina's "Was That My Life" offer a bit of a twist. Likewise,
Anna Wilson's "The Bus Ride" and G.G.'s "Sincerely" add a bit of jazzy flair to the album. Overall,
View From the Top is so pleasant that it's hard to complain about while it's playing, and so lightweight that it's easy to forget about once it stops. ~ Heather Phares
