Jill Scott on ‘The Nanny Diaries’ Soundtrak

“The Nanny Diaries,” starring Scarlett Johansson as Annie Braddock, a would-be anthropologist from New Jersey forced to survive – as a nanny – among the treacherous tribes of New York City’s Upper East Side.

“The movie is based on a best-selling book,” says Artists’ Addiction principal and soundtrack producer Jonathan Scott Miller, “so there are a lot of fans out there who’ve been waiting for it since the book came out in 2002. We wanted to further enhance the experience of the story for them with the ‘Nanny Diaries’ soundtrack.” Miller is joined as soundtrack producer by veteran music execs and principals Jonathan McHugh and Jonathan Platt.

The Nanny Diaries Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is indeed a spirited outing, from Lily Allen’s breezy “LDN” to Marvin Gaye’s deeply funky “Got to Give It Up” to Fatal Mambo’s irresistible “Magot Tcheri (In the Summertime).” Also showcased are Jill Scott’s romantic “The Fact Is (I Need You),” Simply Red’s soulful “Stay,” Tommy James & The Shondells’ gem “Crystal Blue Persuasion,” WAR’s classic “Why Can’t We Be Friends,” Lisa Stansfield’s smoothly groovin’ “All Around the World,” The Main Ingredient’s enduring “Just Don’t Want To Be Lonely,” Odyssey’s disco delicacy “Native New Yorker,” Urban Delights’ addictive dance jam “Won’t Let You Down,” the driving rock of The Hold Steady’s “Stuck Between Stations,” and Joshua Radin’s lovely, lilting “Closer.” The album wraps up with the charming “Raitra (Big Island Radio Mix),” by Madagascar’s Tarika, and the Spanish jazz-pop score excerpt “Museum Visit,” by composer Mark Suozzo.

Concludes McHugh: “This album is a perfect souvenir for people who love the movie, but it’s also just a great CD to throw on at a party.”
