曼哈顿灰姑娘 　　电影原声带的选取多以营造都会浪漫情韵为考量，新世纪绝佳情境女声Norah Jones 2003年葛莱美奖8项大奖提名大碟「Come Away With Me」的同名标题歌"Come Away With Me"、英国实力美声新锐Daniel Bedingfield 2002年岁末空降英国金榜冠军曲"If You're Not The One"、与饶舌歌手对唱冠军曲"Dilemma"的Destiny's Child合唱团娇娃之ㄧKelly Rowland的节奏蓝调美声唱作"Train On A Track"、2002年以首张大碟「World Outside My Window」跳灯Billboard流行专辑榜TOP 4的加拿大美声男歌手的"Fall Again"都是约会时的最佳点播曲。 　　 　　同时选录灵魂乐歌后Diana Ross原唱版与2003年灵魂列车音乐奖3项提名的新进女歌手Amerie精湛传唱版的灵魂乐招牌大作"I'm Coming Out"(P. Diddy冠军曲"Mo Money Mo Problems"取样原作)、节奏蓝调女子团The Pointer Sisters 73年首支进榜单曲"Yes We Can Can"、加州女歌手Teena Marie 84年TOP4动感劲歌"Lovergirl"则为女佣追求爱情的态度打气，而Paul Simon的72年名作"Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard"跟96年因癌症过世的女歌手Eva Cassidy诠释Simon & Garfunkel名曲的"Kathy's Song"则是点出片中小男孩Ty对70年代流行歌曲的眷恋。 　　 　　原声带同时收录『阿甘正传』、『神鬼传奇2』、『星际宝贝』金奖提名音乐家Alan Silvestri所谱写的电影音乐，一段是散发着拉丁即兴情趣的吉他小品，另一段则是典雅迷人的浪漫交响乐章。纠错原因 　　Like most various-artists compilations released as soundtrack albums, Maid in Manhattan's "music from the motion picture" collection comes off, in a listening unrelated to a viewing of the film itself, as a random miscellany of pop songs. If you have actually seen the movie, however, it makes a bit more sense. One of the character details, for example, is that the grade-school son of the main character has been studying the 1970s and become obsessed with it, so that, although he is a Hispanic living in the Bronx, he listens to things like Bread's "The Guitar Man" on his personal stereo. (His interest in Simon and Garfunkel leads to the use of Paul Simon's Latin-tinged "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard," and Eva Cassidy's remake of the duo's "Kathy's Song.") The plot, a modern Cinderella story concerning a hotel maid, may justify the inclusion of self-help titles like "I'm Coming Out" (oddly, in both Diana Ross' original and a new, soundalike remake), Teena Marie's "Lovergirl," the Pointer Sisters' "Yes We Can Can," and a bowdlerized remake of Jefferson Starship's "Miracles." Newly recorded or contemporary tracks by Kelly Rowland, Glenn Lewis, Norah Jones, and Daniel Bedingfield give the soundtrack a current feel. (There are no performances by the film's star, Jennifer Lopez.) Typically for an album of this sort, a smidgen of Alan Silvestri's actual score is included in two cues adding up to less than six minutes of music. His title music makes for an attractive mixture of Latin percussion and rhythms with orchestral elements, while "At Last" is a collection of bland, heartwarming themes. Such are the possible justifications for what is here, and those who enjoyed the film may find the result an entertaining souvenir. On its own, however, it remains a random miscellany of pop songs.
