Editorial Review:
Fashion shows tend to be set to pretty cutting-edge music these days, but you'd hardly know it based on the soundtrack to this movie on life at a fashion mag: Not only does it start with Madonna, but the song is "Vogue"--pretty much the single most obvious choice there could be. That said, "Vogue" remains a great track: it hasn't aged one bit since its 1990 release, and fits in well with the first of two variations on dance music offered here: club anthems (see also DJ Colette's "Feelin' Hypnotized," David Morales and Tamra Keenan's "Here I Am") and sophisticated lounge (Bitter:Sweet's "Bittersweet Faith," Mocean Worker's "Tres Tres Chic"). The latter style also feeds directly into Theodore Shapiro's score, which is represented only on the jazzy suite that concludes the CD. The balance of the tracks is made up of elegant, well-crafted songs that feel perhaps a bit too... polite (Alanis Morissette's cover of Seal's "Crazy," Moby's "Beautiful"). It would have been nice to get more curve balls, like the aforementioned Mocean Worker and Azure Ray's lovely "Sleep," which fans of Imogen Heap should dig. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Could easily have been a lot better.. This was great film, and after watching it I was very keen to buy the soundtrack. However I was totally put off after seeing the best two songs from the film haven't been included! KT Tunstall's - Suddenly I See and Madonna's - Jump. Surely they could have added them on?
KT Tunstall Excluded from soundtrack? Excellent soundtrack, some of these songs I had forgotten and the feel good factor to the soundtrack is great, but a major disapointment that the first song in the movie "Suddenly I See" by KT Tunstall which really sets the scene very well, isn't included in the soundtrack, a real shame as it's a excellent song. Classics like "Vogue" are great for getting ready for a night out and are sometimes forgotten about, the song is used very well in the movie during a montage of the lead character's makeover looks.... more info
The Devil Wears Prada Even though I wrote a review on this soundtrack days before the soundtrack came out, I was able to listen to the tracks from a music website, and I absolutley loved them all. Each track is hip and fun to listen too, being easily to dance to and just have fun while listening to it! This soundtrack is highly recommended and so is the movie! 1. Vogue - Madonna 5/5
2. Bittersweet Faith- Bitter:sweet 5/5
3. City of Blinding Lights - U2 5/5
4. Seven Days in Sunny June - Jamiroquai 4/5
