MISS YOU ALREADY / O.S.T. [Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Music from the 2015 film Miss You Already, a comedy-drama starring Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore as lifelong friends juggling major life events, draws heavily on thematic contemporary alt/indie tunes; "There's a Place" by Tyson Ritter and the All-American Rejects (written for the film) and "Almost Home" by Moby and Damien Jurado are highlights among an earnest mix that appears alongside R.E.M.'s Gen-X hit "Losing My Religion." The soundtrack also features two original pop songs by venerable songwriter Diane Warren: "The Crazy Ones," a driving ballad performed by Paloma Faith, and "What We Leave Behind" by Labrinth. However, most notable may be the title track, a summery original rocker from Joan Jett & the Blackhearts written by Jett and bandmates Kenny Laguna and Dougie Needles. Elsewhere, Collette lends vocals to "Hello Halo [Cooper Todd Remix]," and the soundtrack recording closes with a song-collection-friendly piece of Harry Gregson-Williams' original score. ~ Marcy Donelson
