專輯介紹:
"Begin Again" is a new comedy and the soundtrack was released on July 1, 2014 in the U.S. by Gregg Alexander's record label ALXNDR, Levine's label 222 Records, Polydor Records, and Interscope Records. Most of the film's music was composed by Alexander with Danielle Brisebois, Nick Lashley, Rick Nowels and Nick Southwood. Some songs written by Glen Hansard and Carney, and most were performed by a couple of the actors (Keira Knightley and Maroon 5's Adam Levine) as well as Cee-Lo Green and Cessyl Orchestra.
Adam Levine opens the album with the stirring soulful ballad "Lost Stars" (with a lovely falsetto run at the end) which appears again in a more guitar-driven form as "Lost Stars (Into The Night Mix)". He also performs the upbeat Pop "No One Else Like You", and the Pop/Rock "A Higher Place".
Knightley displays her soft earnest voice on the sunny Indie "Tell Me If You Wanna Go Home" which appears again as the more stripped Rooftop Mix, an acoustic version of "Lost Stars", the Folk/Pop "Like A Fool", the sunny upbeat "Coming Up Roses" and the Country-tinged ballad "A Step You Can't Take Back".
Cee-Lo (who also appears in the movie) performs the breezy Soul "Horny" and the upbeat groovy "Women Of The World (Go On Strike)". Cessyl Orchestra perform the trippy ballads "Did It Ever Cross Your Mind", "Into The Trance", "The Roof Is Broke" and "Intimidated By You".
