The TV-show-to-feature-film trend continues unabated with the film version of Charlie's Angels, the wildly popular '70s series about three female private investigators with great moves and an unseen boss named Charlie. The movie's soundtrack assembles a cluster of lightweight pop, soul, and R&B songs from three decades. Included are Leo Sayer's high-pitched "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," Spandau Ballet's early-'80s gem "True," Sir Mix-a-Lot's amusing "Baby Got Back," and Deee-Lite's deee-lightful "Groove Is in the Heart." Comedian Tom Green even lends a droll intro to "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)." For those who prefer to rock a bit harder, the album throws in Heart's angry "Barracuda," Aerosmith's "Angel's Eye," and Fatboy Slim's "Ya Mama." R&B vocal quartet Destiny's Child opens the album with their soulful, self-assured "Independent Women, Part I," which is a more appropriate theme for this trio of willful women than the piercing "Charlie's Angels 2000," Apollo Four Forty's attempt at updating the stylish TV show theme. With its keen balance of styles and smart song selection, Charlie's Angels is a clever accompaniment for a tale of three clever gals. Ayelet Prizant

All Music Guide

Charlie's Angels ran on television between 1976 and 1981, and several of the 15 songs that make up this "music from the motion picture" soundtrack could have been heard during its tenure, including Leo Sayer's "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," Heart's "Barracuda," the Vapors' "Turning Japanese," and Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up, Part I." Others, such as Tavares' "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel" and Aerosmith's "Angel's Eye," seem to have been included for the use of the word "angel." But there is no rhyme or reason to the choices on this collection, at least on strictly aural grounds. In the film, such oldies as Looking Glass' "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" and Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back" are integrated into the action (it helps that the movie was the first feature by a video director), but on disc their inclusion makes no apparent sense. Among the new tracks, there are two typical efforts from Destiny's Child, electronic dance assemblages by Fatboy Slim and Apollo Four Forty, Caviar's half cha-cha, half hard rock "Tangerine Speedo," and the Aerosmith song, which is as close to heavy metal as the veteran band has ever come. Movie fans who enjoy the movie and associate the songs with scenes in the film may enjoy this album; to anyone else, it is liable to seem like a pointless hodgepodge of unrelated material.
