She called The Singles "the defining document of the feminist punk band whose music remains relevant, righteous, and unflappably cool.", and described Bikini Kill as "a scream in the face of silence, shattering it, casting its bondage into stark relief." Track listing No. In 2018, Jenn Pelly, writing for Pitchfork, rated the album Best New Reissue in an extensive review with a 10 out of 10 rating. AllMusic rated the album 4 out of 5 stars, saying "there's no noisy, murky, meandering at all, and the brighter production and melodic hooks pack a wallop." Robert Christgau also reviewed the album positively, citing Bikini Kill's intensity, and called The Singles "striking and impressive." The Singles received positive reviews, with most critics citing the brighter, poppier production as a highlight. The new Epic Soundtrax/Legacy Recordings edition of the 'Singles: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Deluxe Edition' includes liner notes and a track-by-track description of the albums music written for especially for this collection by Cameron Crowe, the screenwriter and director of 'Singles'. "I Hate Danger" – b-side to "I Like Fucking", and one of the songs sung by Vail – is a metaphor for the systemic silencing of women, and features girl-group vocals. "Demirep" – a word defined in the 7" liner notes as a "woman of doubtful repute an adventuress" – opens with singer Kathleen Hanna and Jett playing the hand game "Miss Mary Mack". The album "largely deals in the pursuit and politics of joy", with drummer Tobi Vail singing on two of the songs. Op de bonusdisc staat ook een nummer van Citizen Dick, de fictieve band die in de film is te zien en naast acteur Matt Dillon als zanger wordt aangevuld met gitarist Stone Gossard, bassist Jeff Ament en ‘drummer’ Eddie Vedder van Pearl Jam.The album is made up of three singles released by Bikini Kill: "New Radio", produced by Joan Jett, was released in 1993 and "The Anti-Pleasure Dissertation" 7" and "I Like Fucking", released in 1995. Meer nummers van hem, waaronder twee die niet eerder zijn uitgebracht, zijn te vinden op de bonusdisc die bij de deluxe editie van de reissue wordt geleverd. Hoogtepunt is het akoestische nummer Seasons van de op overleden zanger Chris Cornell. Ook de Smashing Pumpkins, Jimi Hendrix en The Lovemongers (zijproject van Heart-zangeressen Ann en Nancy Wilson) zijn op de soundtrack te horen.
Met bands als Mudhoney, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden en Alice in Chains geeft het album een mooie weergave van de grungescene van Seattle begin jaren negentig. Met o.a Pearl Jam, Soundgarden en Alice in Chains!Īl voor het verschijnen van de film Singles in 1992 was de bijbehorende soundtrack een groot succes.
