Ocean's 8 - Daniel Pemberton |
6/14/18 |

What You Will Hear: Synthesizer, Vegas big band mixed with a 70’s P.I. soundscape. Featuring keyboards, guitars, and the drum set mixed (appropriately) high.
Standout Tracks: NYC Larceny, We Are Going To Rob It, Taking Out The Trash, Deborah Ocean, Brooklyn Necklace, Moog Necklace Will You Be Humming Along? Each track has a catchy hook, but no unifying theme exists. Deborah Ocean’s theme is particularly catchy (especially when that bari sax joins in). The album this makes me want to dust off: Mr. & Mrs. Smith – John Powell
As I’m Listening, I’m Thinking:
Will I Come Back To It? When I’m in the mood for this type of groove, Ocean’s 8 will be one of my first stops. I never spent much time with the three original scores because it all tended to blend into itself. Pemberton’s take on the this franchise keeps things interesting with that Latin touch, and unpredictable instrumentation (in a very predictable setting). This version is just more fun, but as hip as it needs to be. |
