A primetime soap with a truly contemporary take on "happily every after," this hit series takes a darkly comedic look at suburbia, where the secret lives of housewives aren't always what they seem.
With a weekly audience of over 2 million people, Desperate Housewives is the TV success story and the phenomenon of 2005.
In making the album Mark Cherry, the creator of the show, sought to capture the sassiness, humour and suburban tragedy of his hit show. To do this he has … mehrbrought together some of the finest female musical talent on the globe including Shania Twain, KD Lang, Macy Gray, LeAnn Rimes, Joss Stone, Gloria Estefan, Indigo Girls and more to record an album mixed with re-recordings of classics and some great new originals to make an album that rivals the show success.
The soundtrack also features dialogue from each of the Desperate Housewives. Each is relevant to the song chosen to follow and makes listening to the sound track an experience in itself.

This soundtrack album to the popular television series DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES mixes original songs and cover versions by some of the hottest commercial talents of the 2000s, including Shania Twain, Joss Stone, and LeAnn Rimes. Fans of the show will appreciate the snippets of snappy dialogue interspersed throughout the track list, but the real treat is the songs (Twain's sassy "Shoes," for example, or Idina Menzel's "Damsel in Distress") and the interesting take on rock classics (like Liz Phair's revamp of the Rolling Stones' "Mother's Little Helper"). Danny Elfman's "Desperate Housewives Theme" rounds out this fun, star-packed set. weniger
