I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been seeing the commercials for the new film, Safe Haven and I can't wait. In theatres Valentine's Day February 14th, 2013, Safe Haven is directed by Oscar®-nominee Lasse Hallström and based on the best-selling novel by Nicholas Sparks. The film stars Josh Duhamel (love him), Julianne Hough (love her too). It is an affirming and suspenseful story about a young woman who struggles to find love again after she arrives in a small North Carolina town.
I was contacted recently by Big Picture Media to see if I would be interested in listening to and reviewing the soundtrack for the film.
I had already purchased the song, "We Both Know" by Colbie Caillat and Gavin DeGraw and I have been playing it constantly. It is one of those beautiful ballads that you just can't hear too many times. You can watch the video here. So, I jumped at the chance to hear the rest of the soundtrack. Produced by Relativity Music Group and Republic Records, it features artists that were new to me as well as Caillat and DeGraw.
I got the tracks today and the music doesn't disappoint. Tristan Prettyman's, Say Anything, is one of my favorite tunes.
We won't break if we let go
You and I already know
We were bound to be set free
Even surely, here we are now
You can say anything
Canoeing (Katie and Alex's Theme) by Deborah Lurie almost made me cry and I haven't even seen the film yet! The soundtrack ends with Go Your Own Way, which will make most of us think of Fleetwood Mac, but which is done beautifully by Lissie for the film. I would say the music tends to be what I would consider a cross between folk and pop. The artists have that song-writer vibe that is so interesting and popular right now. A film that I already wanted to see is only going to be enhanced by this excellent soundtrack.

My only compensation for this review was to be able to listen to the soundtrack (4 time only) in order to write the review.
Don't forget my GIVEAWAY
What a fun opportunity for you! Sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! Hubby and I have been juicing and eating healthy and that leaves nothing left to blog! It has been hard. No one wants to read about your grapefruit juice! I have got a few things I am going to do for Sunday since we let our guard down on Sunday when the family comes. Keep up the good work! It isn't a lot of fun but it's worth it right?
Sounds like there are some great songs on the soundtrack...I love ballads, too. Daughter has the book and I'd like to read it but I have a stack I want to plow through first.
