Here’s the press release about the upcoming soundtrack to Vanilla Sky:
As with all of rock journalist-turned-screenwriter Cameron Crowe’s films, from “Singles” to “Jerry Maguire” to his most recent, the Grammy-winning “Almost Famous,” music not only plays an important role but has resulted in best-selling albums. The soundtrack album to “Vanilla Sky” promises to be no exception. From the title song by Paul McCartney to classic rock, from modern heroes such as R.E.M. and Peter Gabriel to Generation X, Y and Z stars such as Radiohead and Sigur Ros, from Bob Dylan and Jeff Buckley to Todd Rundgren and the film’s score composer, Heart’s Nancy Wilson, “Vanilla Sky” paints a musical landscape appealing to the ears of a wide audience.
Recent Success: This is the fifth soundtrack collaboration between producer Crowe and soundtrack/music supervisor Danny Bramson. The soundtrack albums for the previous four – “Say Anything,” “Singles,” “Jerry Maguire” and “Almost Famous” (which won a Grammy for Best Soundtrack Album) have all gone Gold or Platinum!
