Undiscovered is a movie about a struggling musician and his pursuit of love and fame. Star Steven Strait is also all over the soundtrack, performing on half of the songs on the disc. The surprise is that supporting actress Ashlee Simpson, who has a significant supporting role in the film, doesn't appear on the collection at all, except as a co-writer of the disc's title song. The list of contributors is also curious; a host of relatively low profile artists who seem to musically emulate bigger stars. (Work's "Got a Problem" is shockingly similar to the stylings of punk rocker Patti Smith," and Strait's "This Is Living" is eerily close to early Iggy Pop). Standout tracks include Strait's grungified "Pure Example" and the disc's closer, "Why Not Me" by David Baerwald, who some might remember as the dark and dry performer of the retro hit "Welcome to the Boomtown;" Baerwald also wrote or co-wrote a number of songs on the disc. For sheer amusement, however, Chuck T & The Wookies' '70s rawk version of "Jungle Love" (originally by the Steve Miller Band-- is easily the best of the bunch, nearly identically duplicating the classic. --Denise Sheppard

This soundtrack album to the Ashlee Simpson / Steven Strait movie is a real surprising treat.
The impressive songs featured in the movie are all on this collection. It's got 7 nice songs from Steven Strait and is a perfect companion piece to the movie...once you see the movie, you have to pick up the album.
 Should be discovered by Everyone!! August 27, 2005

The movie was okay. Cute, nothing too special. But the soundtrack is absolutely amazing! If you saw the movie, even if you didn't, you NEED this soundtrack!!

I really enjoy listening to this album and I'm surprised that it's not a top-seller. The songs are very diverse - some are happy and cheerful :"Plans" and "Jungle Love" for example, some are somewhat dark and melancholic :"House lights", "Boomerang", "Half Lit". The songs performed by Steven Strait would appeal more to the hard-rocking audience. The soundtrack also has a couple of bittersweet, very touching songs: "Undiscovered" and "That's why I love you". For somebody who has lost a loved one, those two can make you cry. And as far as Jaime Wyatt's vocals are concerned, I think she actually does a better job than Ashlee Simpson. She carries the tunes better and I find her voice much more interesting and appealing.
Overall, the lyrics are powerful, the performances - outstanding. The only reason why I can't give this album a 5-star rating is that I don't care for one of the songs - "Got a Problem" in particular. I keep changing it every time it comes on. It's just irritating. I will definitely recommend this soundtrack to my friends, even to my sis who is more into heavy metal - I think she'll appreciate Steven Strait's vocals.

The soundtrack was the 2nd best thing about the movie. The best thing about the movie was watching models try to walk and talk. They had a hard time at that. The people in this film need to first get acting lessons, then singing lessons. With a different cast this might have been good. But the music wasn't bad if you like lip synching.

I am a connoisseur of certain type of singing voices and fell in love with the actor who sings on this album. The movie is a gem and the singing is great. A different addition to your collection that has some great rock. Besides, the actor is very sexy.
