VA - Usher Presents - In The Mix - Music From The Motion Picture (2005)

The soundtrack to Usher's awkward flop of a vanity vehicle, In the Mix, is a slapdash assortment of poor-to-fair tracks delivered by several newcomers and a handful of established artists. Usher's only appearance is on Rico Love's "Sweat," a track that wouldn't stand a chance on Confessions, so the disc won't even attract the average fan of the movie's star. "Hands and Feet," one of the few highlights, glides in on an immaculately low-slung Danjahandz production, but Keri Hilson's alluring delivery is all but completely nullified by the lyrics: "You got big feet and you got big hands, so I already know what's up with your...." Yeah, well, it's further downhill from there.~In the Mix [Music from the Motion Picture] Review by Andy Kellman
