Film Review: Fergie, Q-Tip, And Goonrock
You can imagine that Fergie, Q-Tip, and GoonRock's "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" is exactly what'd be playing at a party full of cashed-up Long Island dilettantes, with its big, trance-influenced farty synths and Fergie's suitably histrionic vocals.
At times, the music provides an explicit mix of past and present; there's a decidedly jazz-age flavor to Bryan Ferry's reworking of his Roxy Music hit "Love Is the Drug," for instance.
In this way, the soundtrack bridges the gap between the film's opulent period setting and its more timeless themes of the shallowness of materialism and the elusiveness of the American dream.
The parallels between Jay-Z and the film's hero are obvious and fascinating.
