SOUNDTRACK

The original motion picture soundtrack to the forthcoming romantic comedy features original songs performed by the film's stars, including Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore.

"Music and Lyrics" stars Grant as Alex Fletcher, a washed-up 80s pop star who's been reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. The charismatic and talented musician gets a chance at a comeback when reigning diva Cora Corman (played by Bennett) invites him to write and record a duet with her, but there's a problem - Alex hasn't written a song in years, he's never written lyrics, and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days.

Produced by Fountains of Wayne's Academy Award-nominated songwriter, Adam Schlesinger (see attached tracklisting). The majority of the album's 12-song tracklist sees Hugh Grant stepping behind the mic for the first time, performing songs in his role as erstwhile '80s pop superstar Alex Fletcher. Among the collection's other highlights is "Buddha's Delight," performed by newcomer Haley Bennett, and written by Bloodshy & Avant, the Swedish production duo behind such international hits as Britney Spears' Grammy Award-winning smash, "Toxic." In addition, the soundtrack includes tracks from two of Sweden's hottest rock/pop exports, the Sounds and the Teddybears.
