The Fame soundtrack, produced by Grammy Award nominated soundtrack album producers Brian McNelis and Skip Williamson with Eric Craig, teams seasoned songwriters and producers with the new stars of the film for fresh recordings of the original classics along with brand new songs for the movie, due in theatres September 25.

If you are not familiar with the original Fame, the movie is set in the competitive atmosphere of New York City’s prestigious School of Performing Arts, Fame captures the excitement and energy of young performers.

Writing and producing the music for the reinvention are The Matrix (Christina Aguilera, Shakira, Britney Spears) produced pop ballads “Out Here On My Own” and “Try” as well the grand finale “Hold Your Dream,” the graduation song written by Mathew James Murphy. James Poyser (The Roots, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill) wrote and produced two original songs–”Can’t Hide From Love” and “Get On The Floor”–for Denise (Naturi Naughton) and Malik (Collins Pennie). Damon Elliott (P!nk, Gwen Stefani, Beyonce) wrote “This Is My Life,” the new original song for the cafeteria jam scene for the cast.

Composer/songwriter/producer Raney Shockne (“Tori & Dean: In Love,” “The Real World”) produced the remake of the Fame theme song and the remainder of the cast recordings for the film including Megan Mullally’s “You Took Advantage of Me” as well as all the audition scene songs which includes Marco’s (Asher Book) version of the Grammy-winning song “Ordinary People” by John Legend. He also produced the duet of “Someone To Watch Over Me,” sung by Jenny & Marco (Kay Panabaker and Asher Book).

Other stand-out tracks include “Get on the Floor” and “Hold Your Dream,” which were written for the film and appear alongside songs such as Sam Sparro’s recent hit “Black & Gold” and Santigold’s “You’ll Find A Way” as part of the album’s track listing. The resulting collection embodies the film’s contemporary look and sound.
