You do know that Jennifer Lawrence sings. She’s done it twice in “The Hunger Games,” and even got a small hit out of it with “The Hanging Tree.” But now, now she performs Nancy and Frank Sinatra’s famous duet with Edgar Ramirez in “Joy.” It’s on the ABKCO soundtrack coming out December 18th (digital) and January 8 (you know, real).
David O. Russell worked with Susan Jacobs again to come up with a hit CD that outdoes their “American Hustle.” The movie is filled with cool music including Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard (my new favorite person for 2015) on Cream’s “I Feel Free.”
There’s also an excellent use of the Stones’ “Stray Cat Blues.” Plus Edgar Ramirez sings a Latin jazz version of “Mama told Me (Not to Come)” with Ray de la Paz and The Pedrito Martinez Group.
