Live Recording

Composer: Michael Giacchino.
Lots of soundtracks from movies aimed at kids and teens have an overriding theme to the music collected on them, and Sky High -- which kind of looks like a brightly colored, made-for-TV version of the X Men films -- is no different. Like the Herbie: Fully Loaded soundtrack's gambit of having acts from the 2000s cover '70s rock and pop, Sky High features teen pop and alt-rock acts remaking '80s hits. And, like the Herbie soundtrack, this album stumbles more than it succeeds. A good chunk of the collection consists of uninspired but passable covers like the Cary Brothers' blandly pleasant version of Spandau Ballet's "True" and Flashlight Brown's cover of English Beat's "Save It for Later," which steamrolls right over the song's lyrical and musical subtleties. Along with versions of "I Melt With You" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," there are covers of slightly more obscure tracks, but they're not handled any better. Steven Strait's version of the Fixx's "One Thing Leads to Another" trades the angular precision of the original for a dull, muddled sound, and the Click Five's remake of "Lies" might be louder than the original, but it's not any better. Most of Sky High is so blah that the halfway-decent songs sound amazing by comparison: Elefant's version of "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" is basically karaoke Smiths, but the song is still so gorgeous and affecting that it can't help but be a standout. Likewise, Vitamin C's version of 'Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry" is virtually a Xerox of the 1985 hit, but it's an inspired choice on another level: Aimee Mann went from 'Til Tuesday's pop to the alternative singer/songwriter fare of her solo career, while Vitamin C (aka Colleen Fitzpatrick) traded the alt-rock of Eve's Plum for life as a Radio Disney-style pop singer. Caleigh Peters' versions of the Cars classic "Just What I Needed" is the album's most daring track: having a girl sing lyrics like "it's not the perfume that you wear/it's not the ribbons in your hair" in the song sounds downright scandalous next to the rest of Sky High's same old, same old. One of the other standouts is They Might Be Giants' version of Devo's misfit anthem "Through Being Cool," which feels like the history of geek rock distilled into three minutes. Maybe the kids at which Sky High is aimed probably won't know (or care) that Keaton Simons' "And She Was" has barely a fraction of the joyful weirdness of Talking Heads' original, but it still needs to be said. For a movie that's supposed to be about kids with freaky superpowers, Sky High's music is painfully conventional. ~ Heather Phares

If you like 80's music than you like the soundtrack. The songs are from your youth with new singers adding their own twist.

Born in Accra, and raised in Wales, Ghana and India and the UK where she is now settled, Rhian grew up in a very musical environment. Her Welsh mother was an accomplished singer, and her father, an Ashanti naval officer, is a gifted guitarist. Rhian started playing piano at the age of nine and picked up guitar soon after and before long, a budding singer songwriter. Behind the warm and honeyed voice is a sharp mind, Rhian gained an economics degree at the London School of Economics and worked in banking in the City for a time, a somewhat stark contrast to her own desires for a life in music. Her studies continued at Harvard in America, until her mother fell ill and Rhian returned home to care for her ailing mother. With time to think she found healing and release in music and decided to chase her singing dreams, feeling as though it was a risk worth taking in order to dance her heart’s dreams into life. Numerous open mic nights and various club slots in London followed and she found her voice often compared to Sade and Lauryn Hill. One night after a show Rhian was offered a deal by an executive from Los Angeles based label, DKG, and relocated to America to write and record her debut album ‘Gold Coast’ a title which beautifully reflects her childhood home of Ghana.Under the Californian sun the gifted songstress, musician and writer co-produced the album with Grammy Award-winning producers Bob Power (Chaka Khan, A Tribe Called Quest) and James Poyser (Lauryn Hill, D’Angelo). The albums sound was a striking collection of moving songs, beautiful and passionate melodies and rich production, all fused together underneath Rhian’s velvety and captivating voice. In 2004, Gold Coast was released to phenomenal international support and great critical acclaim.Rhian’s self-penned debut ...
