Marc Malkin from E! News brings us our first look at the album artwork for the soundtrack to Sex and the City 2 (due out in theaters next month) as well a bunch of great news about what is included on the disc. Not only have some of the most exciting musical performers recorded songs for the album but so, too, have the Sex and the City ladies themselves … Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis! Here is what the album art looks like and the deets about this must-own soundtrack:

Sex and the City has never sounded better. If the trailers for the SATC sequel weren’t enough to drive us bonkers with anticipation for the movie to open next month, wait till you hear the soundtrack … It is full of music superstars and even a handful of original tunes …Alicia Keys performs a cover of Blondie’s 1980s classic “Rapture.” And it’s not just any cover, it’s a mash-up with the iconic Sex and the City theme song that’s played during the movie’s opening theme … “Rapture” and the SATC theme go together like a frosty cosmo and a pair of Manolo Blahniks. It just feels and sounds so right. Soundtrack label WaterTower Music honcho Jason Linn tells me über-producer Salaam Remi had Keys in mind when he created the mix. “We’re so fortunate to have her,” Linn said. “She’s the perfect voice to introduce the…music of Sex and the City 2.” Next up is the return of Jennifer Hudson. Nope, the Oscar winner is not reprising her role as Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant, but she is back in song. She and Brit songbird Leona Lewis duet on an original ballad written for the movie called “Love Is Your Color” … Even the stars of the movie are on the soundtrack with Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristen Davis and Cynthia Nixon performing the Helen Reddy karaoke favorite, “I Am Woman.” As you may have already heard, Liza Minnelli covers Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” as well as a new rendition of Cole Porter’s “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye.” The soundtrack, which also has new music from Dido and Cee Lo, will be released on May 25, just two days before SATC hits theaters.
What a great soundtrack … I mean, Liza singing Beyoncé‘s Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)? Are you kidding me? Brilliant. I also love that Jennifer Hudson is contributing a new song for the soundtrack as well … the whole damn thing sounds amazing. While I’m a wee bit bummed that this soundtrack news had to spill the secret of which karaoke song the SaTC ladies perform in the film, I’m happy to know that it will be included on the soundtrack. I cannot wait to get my hands on this album … but make no mistake, my real excitement is for the film! May 27, get here NOW please!
