Superfly

Jazz leggero, nulla di emozionante ma non terribile

Soundtrack albums are meant to be more ephemeral than this. Yet 50 years after Super Fly (the movie) has faded from collective consciousness, Super Fly (the soundtrack) is still standing as one of the most famous albums by one of the most famous Soul singers of all time. Curtis’ vocal chops are no less satisfying than on his debut. For me though he is lyrically sidetracked, or even hamstrung by the task of lyrically following the plot of the movie. His trademark social commentary is significantly dialled back. Instead we have peppy, groovy songs like Pusherman, where Mayfield provides a character analysis of a drug dealer. It’s iconic silly fun. Ultimately I don't think this sits as one of Mayfield’s top albums despite its legendary status. There are three killer tracks mixed in with some less exciting instrumentals and weaker narrative tracks.

It's definitely a vibe. I might appreciate it more if I see the movie. As a stand-alone album, it's still pretty good. 3.5

70s funk

Yes. Yes, it is Can get a bit too smooth, though. Favourite tracks: Little Child Running Wild, Freddie's Dead, Eddie You Should Know Better, Superfly

Soundtracks are a weird thing to include on this list. But I suppose since this music was created for the movie and it's not just like a compilation, that makes it a real album? Anyway, this record is fine - it's not going to change anyone's life. It's got some great grooves and good playing throughout but I'm sure there could have been another soul/funk album to include on this list in place of this one. That's said, I enjoyed listening to this today though I probably wouldn't ever play it again. 3/5

Pretty funky and smooth. I like the sound, but have no desire to listen to this again. It really does sound like a soundtrack to a film (which it is), rather than something to listen to on its own

3.6

pretty nice funky music.

Meh. I guess this was OK, barely remember it the next day.

This was technically a soundtrack but still great

Not bad.

5/10 Love the bass, appreciate the instrumentation and arrangements. But I get a bit bored and I don't get grabbed by the songs. Glad I heard it, but I'm unlikely to revisit.

A bit boring

Ikke så verst til å være soul

This was fun enjoyed the funk and a few banges Freddie dead , pusha man … it’s a bit below that top tier for me in terms of consistency but a fun time

I enjoyed it as background music as I tidied up around the house. This isn’t my preferred genre so I probably won’t seek it out again

Sounds like a classic. Hopefully today’s album is a little more modern though kinda tired of the oldies rn. 6/10

Funky.

Nostalginen. Nuorena oisin antanut varmaan yhden tähden enemmän. Nyt tuntui liian toisteiselta. Sovituksiin tuli kiinnitettyä enemmän huomiota kuin aiemmin.

Where are my platform shoes? The 70's live!

First Listen - Don't know/recognise any songs Not my usual taste of music Really like the call and response in 'No Thing On Me' Probably won't be coming back to this one

Funky as hell, cool as shit.

Pretty good. Like how the best song was last.

Interesting

The more of this list I listen to, the clearer it becomes to me that if a genre is called "psychedelic X" it's not going to be one of my favourites. That said I think the funk parts of this makes up for some of it and makes it at least somewhat interesting Standouts Little Child Runnin' Wild Freddie's Dead Superfly 3/5

Funk, strings, gets a little long, even at 37 minutes.

Pretty fly album!

Perfect fast walking city commute soundtrack. Love the jazz and classical additions to the funk. 3.5/4

Enjoyable, some fun tracks like pusherman in there

An OK listen, not bad but not a lot grabbed me.

custom_rating: 5

I enjoyed this album, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it. It was a nice change of pace from what we've been getting.

Instrumental parts are decent. The lyrics are corny. Good background music. I’m not a fan of this type of funk. It was better than Shaft though.

#541. I haven't liked the other movie soundtracks I've heard on this list, but this one's not too bad. 3/5: decent

This was an interesting album in that it's one of the few I listened to twice, because I wasn't sure how much I enjoyed it the first time around. Was there enough to warrant a 4 star? In the end I decided no, it's a 3. It's enjoyable, funky music, but not soul-stirring.

3 out of 5. Makes me want to watch the movie.

Helt okej, några låtar har man hört innan, inget världsomvälvande

First time I have ever listened to this complete album. Decent overall, but nothing in there is as memorable as Movin on Up. Still solid. 3.5/5

Good!!

Easy listening

Decent enough got OG sample of busta rhymes in there geddoooon

definitely a good listen

Cool

Pretty cool, easy to listen to

Smoooooooooooooth

Really liked this sound x

I liked this one, really just consistently just a great soundtrack and really enjoyable songs, especially Curtis' voice, but happened while listening to this (completely unrelated to this album) that bummed me out and just took me out of them mood for this. I will probably return to this when I'm in a better mood because it is good but it's just not what I'd wanna have on right now

Kinda liked it Will I listen to again: 10%

This was pretty cool. Better than the Shaft soundtrack since it didn’t need context from the movie.

It was cute. Wouldn't be mad to hear it again.

Not bad, I enjoyed it while it was on, but probably wouldn't relisten.

I'm always surprised whenever I find a soundtrack album on this site - I forget that there are soundtracks that have actually managed to be critically and commercially successful. I'm doubly as surprised to discover that this album is so similar in style and context to Shaft by Isaac Hayes, though I can't complain - Superfly is a fraction of the length Shaft is and about twice as good. It's very pleasing on the whole with an impressive level of audio fidelity and nuance in the instrumental department. My only real gripe is that the songs create a strong first impression, but fail to sustain my interest. I chalk it up to two things. Soundtracks are easier for me to engage with than band music, but it generally helps when I have a familiarity with the source material, as the memories I have of a media property are the main seller in my enjoyment of soundtracks. I also don't think that a lot of these songs go anywhere.

powerful full feeling melodies. funky rhythms

Some classics and great funk production. Minor gripe that I just don't really love that high falsetto singing, but uhh I was singing along so I'll overlook it.

Redundant

really good vibe but not the best of its kind

Super cool vibe. Won’t come back but really enjoyed

Funky which I always like

Super smooth tracks with tons of soul, swagger and siky guitar licks. Pusherman and Superfly are the obvious highlights, but the instrumentation is lush throughout. Momentum in the middle of the soundtrack does dip though. Best Tracks: - Pusherman - Superfly - Little Child Runnin Wild Worst Tracks: - Eddie You Should Know Better Rating: 7/10

Smooth skit som smyger sig fram. Känns som Shaft fast på evig solsemester med all inclusive. Som alltid när gitarren säger wakuwakuwau så svarar vi ja. ”Think” kan bota allvarliga sjukdomar. Enda minuset är att det händer för lite.

A funk/soul album that kind of becomes background music after a few songs. This I guess works well since it was created for a film which you wouldn’t want the music to be super overwhelming. Still undecided if I enjoy the singing style or not since having listened to his first album on this list. Overall, its fine. 5/10

Funky, I like the instrumentation particularly. But this style is so iconic that it almost seems a little campy maybe? Favorite song either “think” or Freddie’s dead. I will probably start using the word “pusherman” involuntarily.

Curtis Mayfield played every instrument. I think this album is alright. I like the background music and I think that it's super cool that he played every instrument in the song. I don't really like that you can barely hear the lyrics but other than that the songs aren't bad! I wouldn't recommend it because my friends don't like this type of music.

Have you ever wanted to listen to a really catchy kind of jazzy type of song? Then this album is perfect for you. I personally don't really like this song because the lyrics are weird and kind of inappropriate in my opinion. Another reason why I don't really like this song is because I feel like the instruments don't match the tempo that the artist is actually singing at. But overall, I feel like this album is not a bad album but it's not personally really much of my style of music that I enjoy listening to. I probably would not recommend this album to someone because of what the songs are about and what the lyrics to the songs actually say. Another reason why I would not recommend this album to someone else is because I feel like someone my age especially would not like the song. Right now the that are actually trending are not at all like this song, so because of that I feel like I shouldn't recommend this album to someone else because they won't really enjoy actually listening to it very much.

in my opinion I kinda like the song but I kinda don't because the background drums. second one I don't like because of the sound and its just not my type of music. the third one I don't like because of the sound in the back whenever he's singing second I don't like the lyrics .

this album sounds good like a song i would listen too i really like this i could jam to this for a while but i like the funky feel to it

the first song is actually kinda good but the lyrics are weird just a little i like the way his voice sounds when he sings. the second song started off a little bad but i like the background music and the way he sings the lyrics sound normal to me cuz i can't really understand what they say. the last song started off good cuz of the beat or whatever and it's basically the same as the other 2

I kinda like this album because it has a good beat

Not a massive fan of funk at all, but i can certainly appreciate this album for what it is. rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (76/100)

That's not my taste in music

Class, easy listening.

Solid. Its no What's Goin On but funky.

I used to love those 1970's Blaxploitation films when there was nothing else to watch back in the days of 3 or 4 channels on TV. The soundtracks were always good and this one, Like 'Shaft' were the most famous. When a funky soul is done well, it should sound like this.

Funky tunes.

einmal im hintergrund mitgehört. sound gefälllt mir gut, mir ist jedoch kein highlight aufgefallen.

Erster Ton: oh je, Soul. Aber dann tönt es besser als erwartet.

Curtis Mayfield has a voice smooth as liquid butter, and I would happily listen to him sing pretty much whenever, but I'm constantly listening to this wondering if one of his studio albums could be been here instead - movie soundtracks are by definition missing something, and tend to be disjointed as they have to follow the film - so is it an album you "must listen to"? I'm not so sure.

jazzay

Loved cocaine song; super funky album, great singing, some songs were ok, the album gets a little repetitive toward the middle but there’s great highlights. Think is amazing, the instruments are simply beautiful. Really groovy and soulful album; superfly is a good song as well. On my initial listen: 7/10 or 3.5/5.

Never heard of this movie before but thought the music was cool for the most part. Fun (wooden sounding?) instruments. Chill vibes. Vocals a bit breathy/high at times but liked it overall.

i was raised on this type of music so i’m a bit biased but i enjoyed this!! curtis is a cool man and i like how chill it was to have as background music while we played stardew valley

i liked it i think curtis mayfield sounds like a cool guy the music just didn't stick with me

Bongos, Bass, and Beats - Superfly is a fun funk/soul soundtrack. The namesake single, Pusherman, and Freddie’s Dead are standouts for me.

That fly, fo'sure, was super. Nah, for real, it was a funky enough time, honestly.

Great but a bit odd for first thing in the morning. Definitely had me brushing my teeth with a bit more flavor.

Not my fav. A few good songs.

It’s better than his “There’s no place like America Today” album - This has less sexy-buttery-soul-vibe compared to the “America” album

Classic

Curtis Mayfield's "Superfly" is a solid entry in the soul and funk genres. Though I haven't seen the film it accompanies, the soundtrack creates a cool, relaxed atmosphere with its smooth grooves. While it might not be the most energetic album, "Superfly" offers a consistently enjoyable listening experience. 3/5

not bad!

Despite ranking “Move on up” as one of my favourite tracks, I’ve always struggled with Mayfield’s broader oeuvre. It just doesn’t resonate with me and lacks the tempo I need in soul-funk tunes

Hell yeah

Un guy molto chill e raffinato, devo dire (sarebbe un 3.5/5, ma metterò tre stelline 😭)

I liked this but didn't love it. There was nothing in it that annoyed me, but there wasn't a ton in it that grabbed my attention either, save the Paul's Boutique samples.

I definitely enjoyed this album, but it is pretty far removed from my normal rotation. I wish more soundtracks were done by single artists, it makes the album more cohesive. I might have to watch the movie (I’ve never seen it) to fully appreciate this one.

Hellzzz yeah! Let’s get it goin’ on a Monday. All right, this was pretty ok over all nothing great beyond the singles we all know!

Start was good but then it went to a boring side.

Okay, I am not sure how Superfly hit so differently from the other Curtis Mayfield album i did but somehow, it just did. The music here still has some of that messiness from There's No Place Like America Today but it seems to be slightly better mixed with far less sudden instrument introductions than that. The vocals here are also somewhat better as the music complimented Mayfield's voice quite a bit better even if the lyrics here are a little strange (I'm sure they fit in the context of the movie though). This album isn't the most amazing thing ever but compared to There's No Place Like America Today, It is heaven. Best Song: Superfly Worst Song: Pusherman

Cool but mostly just decent. (What's the rationale for choosing which soundtracks to include into this list anyhow...?) The first track (Little Child Runnin' Wild) blows everything else out of the water.

3.5/5

Fun listen. Exactly what you would expect. Classic stuff. Three stars.

Curtis has a great groove in all of his songs so this album is a great refresher to yesterdays boring ahh album. I liked "Freddie's dead" the most.

Great album. This line from Freddies Dead hits hard now just as it did when it came out. "We can deal with rockets and dreams, but reality, what does it mean?"

Was great not my type of music and cool notes a lil forgettable tho

Ah yes, soul music of the 70s. Nice beats, smooth singing. All good listening. I'm always appreciative as well when a track or two are instrumental only.

Nice. Perhaps a bit too nice. A bit too smooth, a bit too "easy listening". 3/5.

Not as good as the soundtrack to Shaft. But it was alright. Was surprised to find the sample the Beastie Boys used in Egg Man came from here though.

I like a couple of the tracks, but didn’t finish. A lot of the tracks kind of sound the same to me. I have a feeling this was groundbreaking at the time it came out not sure how many other soul R&B concept albums existed at that point.

Enjoyed this album. 3.5 stars

It’s fine but nothing special to me

I dug it. More than I thought I would. So cheers to that.

groovy

A lovely, funky blacksploitation soundtrack for an autumnal Friday. Short, sweet and perfectly enjoyable.

Not quite as sharp as its contemporaries. It was fine but didn’t quite hit the soulful spot as other similar notable albums.

Fun and funky!

No. 266/1001 Little Child Runnin Wild 3/5 Pusherman 3/5 Freddie's Dead 3/5 Junkie Chase 3/5 Give Me Your Love 3/5 Eddie 3/5 No Thing On Me 3/5 Think 3/5 Superfly 4/5 Average: 3,11 This was alright to listen to.

Escuchas un album de estas características y escuchas toda la música de este género. Shaft , la película y su pista sonora podría ser el clásico referente.

Haven't heard much still before but this was quite good

Good soundtrack. Good music.

Very listenable, even though I don't really like soul. I can see why it's considered a classic.

3/5

Within the context of the film Superfly, this soundtrack is fantastic. On its own, the album is not bad but not amazing.

Not really my thing. Not Curtis fault though. Different but mostly the same, if that makes sense.

Average listen. Nothing really stood out. Music was generally good, but nothing capturing.

Man the high from the first half of this album is undeniable and I could listen to that funkiness over and over again....the second half trails off a bit but still a great album and I definitely need to check out more of Mayfield's music! 4 tracks added to the 1001 Experience Playlist

Pusherman was my favourite track Overall, bass lines, guitar licks, and Mayfield's vocals were the highlights for me. The lyrics told some pretty sad stories!

Dated yet..funky. Not too bad.

Still not a fan of Mayfield's falsetto, but this was a fun and funky album.

Soul progresivo, funk. Ni fu ni fa.

funk[2]progressive soul[3]. Rollo.

I can’t do back to back

Funky

It was fine but didn’t stand out that much to me

A pretty fun and funky jam. I probably won't seek much out from here again, but it was pretty fun while it was on

I enjoyed this, mainly as a relic from the era.

Grooviness of the 70’s in full effect

Not bad, as with all soundtracks on this list it probably would help if I knew the film it was scoring.

3.5

Definitely a cultural icon, but not something for light listening.

I like his voice and the songs are mostly there but a lot of the instrumentation and arrangement is pretty dated. Some cool songs here.

Smooth soulful sounding soundtrack of the movie of the same name speaking about blaxploitation in the 70s. Best: Super Fly Worst: Junkie Chase - Instrumental 3.5 Stars

Fat white boys form Logan upon listening to this album: https://youtu.be/7few4tKonWw?si=yunPj-mXZ5yyw3r6

probably great for its time, but not my style

This is undoubtably a funky classic, but I do think Curtis has better albums than this. *Heard before.

I don't know much about the movie Super Fly, but I do know that Freddie's dead on the corner.

funk[2]progressive soul[3]. Rollo.

funky plaatje...

Funky! Proper funky funk! Enjoyed this one! Not enough to run out and buy it, but enough to maybe look at a bit more Curtis!

Groovy - songs hit and miss

Good groovy, funky, soulful jams. Didn't expect an oboe on this album. 3.8

Superfly is so cool. Pusherman and Freddies Dead are fun. Such a vibe.

Better than I expected.

Smooth and funky.

Омай гад that's a funky shit

Funky funky.

Definitely fun. It really puts u in that cheesy 1970s action movie kind of vibe.

I appreciated the length and the vibes. I don’t think it has enough to be one of our top albums, but this is another one of those types of albums that we want on this list! Some songs on here sampled on other big songs. Cool!

Nice little soul album, never knew there was a movie tied to this album. Best songs are "Freddie's Dead" and superfly. The rest were not that memorable. Strong 3.

Some good songs and some ok songs. But it is a soundtrack.

buen disco, pero no es variado.

enjoyable but I probably won't come back to it. very cinematic

Favs: "Little Child Running Wild", "Junkie Chase (Instrumental)", "Freddie's Dead"

Nicht schlecht *** 1/2

I have to admit that I zoned out of this one for longer than I would have liked but I still found it really relaxing. It had a distinctive soul sound and the tracks were all pretty unique. Would totally recommend to any soul or funk enjoyer.

It's definitely a soundtrack, but it's also a good standalone album. You can feel the 1960s of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" give way to 1970s funk with instrumental stops along the way. I sort of want to see Super Fly now.

I recall a number of these songs from 70’s radio. They were hits at the time but feel dated to me now.

Little Child Runnin’ Wild // Pusherman // Think // 3.5/5

A pretty good album with social commentary, especially related to drug use throughout. None of the songs really standout for me, but the album is very smooth and listenable.

It was good. Not fantastic but it really sets a good mood. 7/10

Very cool. Nothing I'll ever listen to again, but it was a fun listen.

Quick hitting retro funk.

Finnst við vera búnir að fá mikið af þessari tegund tónlistar. Ósköp þægilegt en engar flugeldasýningar, enda kvikmyndatónlist.

Fav: Think - Instrumental Least Fav: Pusherman

Classic soul, brother man.

Good soul and good funk, but honestly not the MOST memorable for me. It was consistently solid, but I didn't pay attention to any individual song. Which is wild, because Move On Up is such a GOATed top tier song.

I really liked the vibe this album gave off. I could see it being a really good album to have playing at a party or something. That being said, I don't feel like it kept me engaged or that any single song is worth writing home about.

super duper groovy

A little dated, but still pretty nice in spots.

Great album. Curtis' voice paired with the music. Brings me back to the 70s.

Cautionary tale told over soulful tracks

Wish this straight instrumental...... Awesome music

Groovy

Oooh eer! This sets a cool mood and runs with it. So much classier than others of this genre.

Nice and easy listening Slow dance music opening

A LOT about how drug sellers are bad. It's weird to hear from a future perspective the lyrics paired with a laid back feel. These lyrics would be over more angry or melancholy music even a decade later.

I really enjoyed the funkiness but I personally did not have much to relate with to draw me in completely. Glad I listened and did enjoy the funk!

Ok Soul/Funk music, maybe even great for enthusiasts, but nothing special for me to find here.

5 / 10 Funky, Soul. Me ha decepcionado un poco me esperaba una voz más profunda. He escuchado discos mejores de este estilo.

2 or 3 melting bangers, lots of filler - makes it difficult to score, but Superfly is worth 2 stars on its own

superfly makes me super high think youre superman but I’m a super guy fortune favours the bold but youre super-shy Im hungry and thirsty at the same time so it’s soup-or-die

Pretty good. Smooth and funky

background music

Good album, but a bit repetitive, maybe just not my cup of tea personally

Gorgeous, smooth, soulful, cool. Everything I would expect from Curtis Mayfield.

‘70s Blacksploitation Soul was never really my thing but I have always loved this album. It was a movie soundtrack. But what I always appreciated (aside from the constant samples from this album littering Paul’s Boutique) is it was a concept album that told a story without a movie. I never saw the movie. I know exactly what is going on. Key tracks: Superfly (of course!) and Pusherman. I’ve listened to this album a few times when I want to feel extra swaggy, and I probably will continue…

This is probably a 3.5 star album. I don't like it quite enough to push to 4-star territory. It is obviously a historical and deeply admired album. I like the tracks Superfly, Pusherman and Little Child Runnin' Wild. The instrumental bogged this one down plus "Freddie's Dead" is a dud. Anyway, cool, landmark old school 70s funk jam.

The theme song for Superfly was pretty good. everything else wasn't bad, but just not really my style.

Decent background music. I love this type of music but not a huge draw for me. It’s just something to put on while i drive or work on something.

Tv advert generic

Nice but not in my taste.

Great vibe. No complaints

Den er fed nok. Jeg lyttede til den mens jeg var ude og løbe. Den første sang var den der greb mig mest. De andre var også cool.

An oldie from back in my day. It struggled to be contemporary at the time, which made it as dated as Hawaii 5-0 today.

I like the sound, but I wasn’t grabbed by any of the songs.

Beatiful

funk[2]progressive soul[3]. Rollo.

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Chilled 70's vibe.

Curtis mayfield is a musical artist but with significant emphasis on the artist part as he is able to layer music unlike most people in this world. The deep and rich sounds contrasted with the complex soundtrack provide an enjoyable listening experience and really make it easy to love the R&B style he produces. This is great and almost a four star album. 7.7/10

Little Child Runnin' Wild has an exciting ensemble of instrumentals that feel underused. The strings, trumpet and sax show a lot of promise and are not fully developed (yet?). Pusherman dials these instrumentals further back but adds a very fun drum line. Freddie's Dead comes back stronger but as with all tracks on this record it feels like something, like a solo, is missing. Junkie Chase has amazing instrumentals but is not fully developed as a full song. Give Me Your Love is a nice enough song that sounds like background music (which it is for a movie?). The next songs are nothing special until one of the hits on the album "Superfly". This song is lacking something extra as well but is probably the strongest track on this record. The entire project feels like it was held back by being used for a movie. 3/5

70s funk. I only knew the title track, and it’s the best one by a wide margin. Wished I liked it more.

Rating: 3.5

A great album for listening to while making dinner. Lots of soul

mid

Great album!

Funky AF. Kunne meget bedre lide den her plade end Isaac Hayes' Shaft. Den her virker meget mere nede på jorden.

funky and fun, if you're looking for that. which i slightly was

Funky. 3/5

Average soundtrack album. Could’ve picked a better Mayfield disc.

Goofy, that classic 70s black funky sound. Never seen the movie. Now I know where Freddie's Dead by Fishbone is from. Also pusherman is definitely covered in an old Eminem song.

Great album for a warm summer day with the windows down.

COOL COOL COOL

C'était chill

overall great production, some of the instrumental songs slowed the album down. lyrics were strong throughout

It was fine but won't listen to it again, just not my style

3+

Cool as fuck

Good album Standout songs: Pusherman Freddies Dead Superfly

smooth dude Fun Fact: Dette var temaet til brutterns russebuss.

Музыка не запоминается, но она, в целом, приятная. Прослушал и забыл.

Okay album. Lots of "soundtrack" music.

Good funk album from way back when. I give it 3.5 stars.

Having not seen the movie, the music itself was good and Mayfield can sing with a soulful voice. I liked the upbeat songs about getting out of the drug lifestyle and bettering oneself.

Surprisingly good.

It was pretty good, I dunno I didn't really love it but it was much better than yesterday's album (although that was not a very high bar). I liked the lyrics on a lot of the songs, they were very interesting and very much got your attention. It sounded really nice overall, just not really much my style.

was nice background music. not my normal style but compared to yesterday's Korn, it was giant improvement.

Great songwriting, landmark album for Dylan and for rock in general. Not easy to listen to, harmonica is always too high in the mix. Not an album you can really enjoy listening to without knowing the backstory and context.

Bit repetitive but nice

Nice listen, but not something I would seek out

Taking the Wah-wah to the limit! Funky music, with excellent production and structure. Lovely blend of soul and complex story telling. For me it just doesn’t have any lasting power, not to say it’s bad.

good for an OST

I enjoyed this funky album, “Pusherman” is a classic.

Pusherman rules

Not really my type of music, from a time I don't often listen to. It was enjoyable but a little samemy from song to song. I did like that this was the origin of Pusha Man. I didn't expect to be listening to a Soundtrack for a blacksploitation film on my first day but here we are.

It was a fun 70’s album

This album was 100% baby-making music.

It's ok. Didn't know what to expect whilst also knowing exactly what to expect. Decent enough!

Blast from the past, it was ok

Creo que me está gustando el bluss. Música relajada con buen ritmo.

Groovy and catchy.

Nice, old school mais un peu repétitif

Listened to like 3 times. Definitely enjoyable.

Kinda cool.

Super funky! Love the use of bass with strings accompanied by the horns! Super fun listen. Having not ever seen the movie I can picture it from the music. Will listen to occasionally but not a frequent listen. 3.5/5

A generous 3. Never really caught my attention and it's almost as if he's whispering for large parts.

Some nice bits in here but it is a soundtrack at the end of the day, and it sounds like one. Cool licks here and there but that's about all I can say.

Funky

Reminds me of a Tarantino soundtrack. I’m not mad at it.

Great funky took me right back to the 70’s!

A bit disappointing, really

Nice album

FUN!

Nice

I like some of the instrumental parts on some of the songs (especially the drums/percussive elements)

Funky, interesting use of instruments. Sounds like something that would make it into a Tarantino movie.

Nice album, interesting sounds, but forgettable

Groovy not my groove

Loved the substance of this album. A lot of meaningful and hard hitting topics. I also enjoyed the instrumental parts of every song. The singing was difficult for me to understand (I have significant hearing loss) due to the pitch. Overall this was a solid album. Unfortunately I am not a huge fan on the genre.

Kept one song. Soulful.

Entertaining rhythm to it. Not my usual cup of tea but enjoyable.

2 all time classic tracks

Didn’t listen

Definitely got a cool sound. Not one I'll go back to much though. Also don't love the vocals.

Fun and funky. I like the story telling aspect. Made me feel like roller skating.

It was good, I just got kinda bored halfway through

Good soul album. Maybe I wasn’t in the mood so I’m giving it 3 stars. Lots of layers

musik att ha i bakgrunden men inte så mkt mer.

Skön funkig skiva. Men som vanligt, inget märkvärdigt.

An enjoyable jazz-driven LP with some funk influences. As with most soundtracks on here, I do think I'm lacking situational context for the tracks which would help mesh them together into a more cohesive whole. That being said, this was a fun change of pace and something I'd be willing to watch Superfly for to understand a bit better

It was fine, just not my favorite genre.

So, so. Wouldn't have it in my music list.

Really liked Pusherman & Freddy's Dead.. solid album

7/10 Highlights: Freddie's Dead Little Child Running Wild Pusherman Junkie Chase

Fun background music, has a very 70s feel. Lyrics are pretty deep. Superfly is the stand out track. Pretty short album and weakens in the middle. I’d probably give it a 3.5 if we could. It doesn’t rise to the level of a 4 for me so I’ll go with 3.

Not a bad album but not great. Pretty mellow vibes with sexy sax coming every now and then but nothing to make love to.

Very funny slick and cool it makes me want to watch the movie. The instrumentals on the first track especially and then throughout are so slick. It’s like funk that doesn’t sound dated.

A house mate hammered this album for a while. It brings back memories of the funky share house lifestyle.

Awesome soundtrack

It's a classic

Really smooth and fun to listen to. A lot of the songs have a similar kind of style which made a lot of the songs blend together. Haven't seen the movie but can imagine this being a killer soundtrack. Favorites: Little Child Runnin' Wild, Think - Instrumental,

Very funky album with a couple of really well known songs. Enjoyed it.

First listen Saved 5/9 Top track: Pusherman

Some great soulful vocals and funky jams on here as we'd expect - the instrumentals are by and large ignorable. The magic of Curtis Mayfield is his voice - I get it's obviously a film soundtrack, but you cannot hold a candle to Freddie's Dead and the title track with an instrumental.

The music on this album is incredible. Great bass and keyboard playing, as well as the horns (such a necessary and great addition). So much funk and soul. 3.5/5 Will probably listen again

просто норм не зацепило, но качество чувствуется

классное переплетение кино и фильма

3.8 - Solid album and some great songs, felt a bit too similar though

Not bad. First soundtrack album I’ve heard on this list so far. I’m just not very into funk music. 7/10 Top 3: 1. Pusherman 2. Superfly 3. No Thing on Me (Cocaine Song)

Would give 3.75 if it was possible. Good album, but it feels like it's meant for a movie and not the other way around.
