Talk about a marketing masterstroke; leave it to Speilberg's Dreamworks company to get three simultaneous soundtrack albums out of the same film. THE PRINCE OF EGYPT is an animated version of the story of Moses in Egypt, characterized by some famous voices (Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, etc.). While all three albums are related to the events depicted in the film, each represents a distinct musical style. The inspirational version features contemporary Christian artists, the country disc presents the best of modern-day Nashville and the third is a mainstream pop offering. So whether you go for Mariah Carey or Shirley Caesar, you're bound to find something to your taste on one of these releases.
While the inspirational disc is focuses on the more spiritual aspects of the story, it's anything but traditional-sounding. Take 6's "Destiny" is a syncopated, Eastern-flavored variation on the group's rich harmony sound. Jars of Clay and dc Talk offer up some rootsy but modern-sounding pop-rock on "Everything in Between" and "My Deliverer" respectively. Carman works his quirky, genre-bending magic on the unpredictable "God Will Take Care of Me" and Brian McKnight adds a bit of R&B flavor with the touching "Father."
