Music Review: The-N's First Soundtrack

Written by CallmeMaddy
Published August 26, 2006

A lot of teenagers' lives revolve around music. I will be shocked if I don’t see at least five people in every class at school listening to their iPod instead of the teacher. (Even though it’s against the rules.) This, of course, was never me. Okay, maybe it was sometimes me, but only when I was forced to watch Spanish soap operas

The-N, a MTV-like network for teens, is reaching out to their main audience by releasing their first ever soundtrack with music from shows like Degrassi, Instant Star, Beyond the Break, South of Nowhere, and Whistler. It is due out August 29. The soundtrack features eleven songs and comes with bonus scenes from the hit show, Beyond the Break. I did not get to see the video, which makes me depressed, because I have the press sample. So now I have to figure out if it’s worth it to buy the CD for the sneak peak.

Track one is the extended Degrassi theme song. I liked how Degrassi theme is finally available. It started out good. The chorus was awesome... but then they started rapping. I hate rapping. I don’t care what you say, it’s not music. So, I demoted the song from good to stick to the shortened version.

Track two is “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield. To be perfectly honest, I didn’t like it. I’m not big fan of Natasha Bedingfield. Her voice sounded hoarse. The lyrics were okay, but not enough to save the song.

Up next, track number three, is “Not Even Close” by David Kopatz (Degrassi: The Next Generation). It was very fun to listen to. The beat was very catchy and the song immediately grabbed my attention.

Featured next was “What You’re Missin’” by Cheaza (South of Nowhere). It’s a good song, but totally not my style. I like pop, rock, even country... not this. I can’t stand Hip Hop or Rap or whatever this is.

Lucky number five was “Do What You Do” by Drake (AKA Aubrey Graham, Jimmy on Degrassi: the Next Generation). Aubrey Graham should stick to acting. I don’t know what that was. I think it was an attempt at rap. Moving on...

Next was my personal favorite, “The Car Song” by Telenovela Star, Theme Song of Beyond the Break. Want to know the reason I gave Beyond the Break a chance? I was planning not to watch it, but the theme song came on and Degrassi was over, so I turned it on. That’s right, the show gained a viewer because of this song. It's awesome. I love it. Easy to dance to. Loved it when I first heard it watching Beyond The Break and loved listening to it now.

If you no you do not like music like rap. Why do you critic it?

Because the-N came to me and asked me to review it for blogcritics and they gave it to me for free. Plus, there are other songs that are not rap.
