Review

Underdog athlete triumphs against all the odds and finds more than mere victory in the bargain--it's a cinematic tradition that stretches considerably beyond the Rocky franchise. But this 2002 UK hit about an East Asian immigrant teen who dreams of becoming a soccer star puts a winning new trans-cultural spin on the formula. The film's song-score is as savory, playful and determined as the film itself, a rich collection of mostly contemporary tracks that shakes up an evocative cocktail of pop infused with soul, club mixes, cool jazz, new wave, traditional Indian flourishes, and even a parting, triumphant shot of Puccini. Victoria Beckham, former Spice Girl and wife of titular inspiration/soccer legend David Beckham weighs in with the breathy neo-disco of "I Wish," while fellow Spicester Mel C offers up the sprightly pop of "Independence Day." But it's the dizzying array of transplanted Indian pop music--oft-performed by the winning team of Brit Billy Sagoo and American vocalist Gunjan--that makes the album such a winning delight. This is world music with a dancefloor beat and a smile. --Jerry McCulleySoundtrack to the #1 2002 box office smash. Called the best British comedy since 'Bridget Jones' Diary'. It tells the story of an 18 year-old London Indian girl & her desire to follow her hero, David Beckham into a life of football. Starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, former All Saints star Shaznay Lewis & Bollywood superstar Anupam Kher. The soundtrack is a mix of western & eastern pop, with exclusive tracks by Victoria Beckham 'I Wish' & Melanie C 'Independence Day' alongside Gunjan 'Kinna Sohna', Partners In Rhyme feat. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan 'Tere Bin Nahin Nahin Lagda', Bally Sagoo feat. Gunjan 'Noorie', & Blondie 'Atomic'. Milan. 2003.
