Desplat’s ‘Julie & Julia’ Now Available

Wow, summer is going by fast.  I didn’t even realize that director Nora Ephron’s film Julie & Julia was out this week.  I don’t know how, since I hear,  “I’m Julia Child” at least 20 times a day.  I knew it was coming soon, just not this week.  Anyway, a Julie & Julia release also means a new score from the acclaimed french composer Alexandre Desplat.

The film’s soundtrack is now available on Amazon.com and iTunes and  features 16 tracks of original music and an intro to the classic song “Time after Time” by Desplat.  This score is so bright, warm and fluffy. Excuse me while I go frost some cupcakes.  Listening to parts of this score put me in such a good mood.  I hope the film will do the same.  No matter what how many negative reviews this film may get, I’ll still see it.  I’m a huge Meryl Streep fan and I think Amy Adams is adorable.  Shoot, a score by Desplat alone will get me to see the film.

Here’s the track list with few audio samples:
