Original Soundtrack - Set It Off [Original Soundtrack Clean] (CD)

All Music Guide

The soundtrack to the Black female gangsta movie Set It Off...has a couple excellent tracks from the likes of Busta Rhymes, Goodie Mob and Queen Latifah (who also stars in the film); the majority of the album consists of urban RB and swingbeat balladry, often in degrees of varying quality. En Vogue's reunion track "(Don't Let Go) Love" is a stellar contribution, proving that they haven't lost any power, while the Chaka Kahn/Brandy/Tamia cut "Missing You" is surprisingly not disappointing...Other tracks appear from the likes of Seal, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Simply Red, whose inclusion is simply baffling. In short, it's an average soundtrack, with enough good tracks to make it worth acquiring... [Set It Off was released in an edited version with all of the profanity removed.]
