Mad About You

Performer: Original Soundtrack/Original TV Soundtrack
Distributor: WEA (Distributor)

Notes: Includes liner notes by Paul Reiser. Like the sitcom itself, the soundtrack to Mad About You aims at an urban, upper-middle class audience, so the album is filled with staples of adult contemporary radio, like Marc Cohn, Faith Hill and Hootie & the Blowfish. There are also songs intended to give the album diversity and emotional weight, with contributions from Etta James, Sarah McLachlan and John Lennon, and, of course, the Paul Reiser-written title song is added for context. For some, this music may be a little too self-consciously "mature" for their tastes, but it sets a mellow mood early on and keeps it for the course of the album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Paul Reiser, the star and executive producer of "Mad About You," describes this collection of music from and inspired by the hit TV show as "the arc of a love story--two people finding each other, finding their way, and finding themselves." The songs are interspersed with dialogue from the show that describes the course of this relationship, as does the music itself, which ranges from the slow-dance ballad "At Last," sung by Etta James, to the enormously witty Elvis Costello classic "Sneaky Feelings." Also included are two versions of "The Final Frontier," the show's theme song, with lyrics by Don Was and Reiser, who perform on guitar and piano, respectively. The original is sung by Andrew Gold; the newer, full-length rendition is performed with sultry soulfulness by Anita Baker.
