Continuing in The OC's tradition, the music plays a major role in Gossip Girl, almost as big as the fashion. The show has featured everyone from indie burlesque band Sohodolls to Ed Westwick's own band, The Filthy Youth. The location also features in the music, as shown in the soundtrack with songs such as Oppenheimer's "Breakfast in NYC" and Albert Hammond Jr's "Hard To Live In the City". The soundtrack even features fictional band Lincoln Hawk (Rufus Humphrey's band), and the also fictitious Constance Billard A Cappella Choir with their rendition of Fergie's "Glamorous". Overall, the soundtrack is a mix of indie rock, but also electro pop, with artists such as Crystal Castles and Junkie XL. Though there are certainly much better songs that have featured on the show that could have been on this soundtrack, it is a good listen nonetheless. I give it three stars. ***
OMFGG is available from iTunes or most music retailers.
