pmaCAST #21: Looking Better, Shining Brighter Than You Do music The twenty-first episode of the pmaCAST is here. The new episode runs a little bit over an hour and fifteen minutes and features some of my favorite songs of the moment. I’m pretty confident that you all will like this one.

[Rating Scale]

[rating:74/100]
Karen O and The Kids’ Where The Wild Things Are OST is an album that is impossible to consider abstracted from the movie it is destined to accompany. Unlike some soundtracks merely meant to advance the plot, provide suspense, or fill the void left by a lack of dialogue, this soundtrack embodies everything the movie is.

Karen O. and The Kids – All Is Love

Karen O. and The Kids All Is Love listen

“All Is Love” is a single from the soundtrack for Spike Jonze’s new film Where The Wild Things Are. The song is sung by Karen O. and a children’s choir that takes the lead on vocals. “All Is Love” is full of the energy and playfulness which the movie’s trailer easily conveys.

If you are looking for nothing more than a happy song to sing along to that will help you get through the day then you should definitely go ahead and download this song. A lot of respected indie artists are helping out on the soundtrack for the children’s book which was adored by many of us as kids so the entire soundtrack should be something to look forward to. Listen to “All Is Love” here Continue reading →
