The St Trinian's soundtrack album: it's better than you're expecting it to be

  • November 25, 2009
  • Popjustice

You will have noticed that yesterday's Song Of The Day and today's Song Of The Day are both from the new St Trinian's soundtrack album. Clearly a new St Trinian's film is about as welcome a prospect as a three-year power cut but the album itself is actually v good.

Main points:

1. It features three Sarah Harding solo tracks (including a David Bowie cover the less said of which the better).

2. It features various Xenomania 'house band' tracks.

3.
There's some other stuff by The Saturdays, Girls Can't Catch, Florence & The Machine 'etc'.

4.
It sounds a bit like the first draft of a Girls Aloud album. You'll know what we mean when you give it a proper listen — most of the songs sound like they would benefit from a bit more magic dust — but it's a pretty great soundtrack album, is far better than it really needs to be and is, we imagine, about 100 times better than the film.

5.
In a year without a Girls Aloud album it's a better Girls Aloud album than the Cheryl Cole album.

We'll have some more clips up through­out the week. Hurrah.
