The soundtrack to four times Oscar nominated film JUNO starring Ellen Page as a sharp-tongued teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy has won huge critical and popular acclaim, becoming the best-selling album on the iTunes Music store and selling 75,000 copies before it was even physically available in stores.
To coincide with the UK cinematic release, the No.1 soundtrack is now available on our shores. The music showcased on the 19 track CD plays a prominent role in JUNO, with the characters swapping their favorite tracks to offer comfort in their time of crisis – and as such the album plays more like a mix tape from a friend than a soundtrack.
So with a hip play list that revisits the classics and borrows from the underground of today, the release already promises to be the essential soundtrack purchase of 2008.
