Romy and Michele's High School Reunion Original Soundtrack (LP)

Few film soundtracks capture a specific slice of cultural memory quite like this one. The Romy and Michele's High School Reunion soundtrack is a perfectly sequenced hit of early-to-mid '80s New Wave and synth-pop — the sound of a generation that learned to feel things through synthesizers and electric drums. From the icy cool of "Our Lips Are Sealed" to the euphoric rush of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," every track here was a radio fixture, a school dance staple, a bedroom anthem. The pop music of this era owes a deeper debt than most admit to the rhythmic restlessness and call-and-response energy that traveled north from the Delta. This 2022 Hollywood Records pressing brings it all back, sealed and ready.
