All of these have been featured in films before and carry their own significance there as well as in their own right. We have Juice Newton’s “Angel of the Morning”, Salt N Peppa’s “Shoop”, DMX’s X “Gon’ Give It To Ya”, Neil Sedaka’s “Calendar Girl” and Wham’s “Careless Whisper”. There are five songs that on this soundtrack that many of us have undoubtably heard before. Junkie XL gives us the quiet poignant tones that remind us why Wade/ Deadpool did what he had to do and that his heart breaks not being with Vanessa. “Every Time I see Her” (Track #11) and “A Face I Would Sit On” (Tack #22) remind us of the relationship between Wade (Ryan Reynolds) and Vanessa (Morena Baccarin). Yet, what is is surprising for both the film and Junkie XL’s score, is that there is a love story here. The strings here spin out of control, much like Wade Wilson’s life begins to spin into the dark void. Fitting, as the two are collaborating on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
“Small Disruption” (Track #3) is more in line with a Hans Zimmer score. Junkie XL keeps the pace as fast as Deadpool’s fists and tongue, which is exactly what this films needs. This is due to the rampant over-indulgent action sequences in the film. Several tracks on Junkie XL’s score reminded me of music from John Carpenter’s films, with “Maximum Effort” (Track #2, posted below) being the most prominent. However, everything about Deadpool is one huge gamble, so why shouldn’t the soundtrack be, too? Usually this is done in two releases (see The Guardians of the Galaxy). Surprisingly, this soundtrack encompasses both his score and pop songs for the film. That score alone prompted me to pick up the Deadpool Soundtrack without even seeing the film. This is strange if you consider how many other nominations Mad Max: Fury Road received. It was incredible and completely overlooked, even for a nomination, in the 2015 Best Original Motion Picture Score category. I first really took notice of Junkie XL with the release of his Mad Max: Fury Road score ( see review). So imagine my surprise when Junkie XL (aka Tom Holkenborg) was announced to compose the score to Deadpool. The likes of Danny Elfman, Alan Silvestri, Tyler Bates, and Hans Zimmer are really beginning to over populate my superhero playlists. When it comes to a superhero movie, I always check out who is composing the score. Deadpool, Deadpool Soundtrack, Deadpool Soundtrack Review, DMX, Junkie XL, Marvel Comics, Milan Records, Neil Sedaka, Tom Holkenborg, Wham!
