THE PRINCE OF EGYPT was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Soundtrack Album. "When You Believe" was nominated for 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals and for Best Song Written For A Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media.
Talk about a marketing masterstroke; leave it to Speilberg's Dreamworks company to get three simultaneous soundtrack albums out of the same film. THE PRINCE OF EGYPT is an animated version of the story of Moses in Egypt, characterized by some famous voices (Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, etc.). While all three albums are related to the events depicted in the film, each represents a distinct musical style. The inspirational version features contemporary Christian artists, the country disc presents the best of modern-day Nashville and the third is a mainstream pop offering. So whether you go for Mariah Carey or Shirley Caesar, you're bound to find something to your taste on one of these releases.
This disc features straightforward pop in the person of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston (the lush duet of the title song) and Boyz II Men (the sophisticated a capella harmonies of "I Will Get There.") There are also some selections sung by the actors; Michelle Pfeiffer, Ralph Fiennes, and even Steve Martin and Martin Short (the good-humored "Playing With the Big Boys.") A touch of local color is added by the addition of Middle Eastern chanteuse Ofra Haza's "Goodbye Brother."
