May 3, 2005 — Columbia Records/Sony Music Soundtrax will release The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - Music From The Motion Picture, a collection of exciting new music from established and emerging alternative pop music artists, on Tuesday, May 24. Opening nationwide on Wednesday, June 1, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," from Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, brings to the screen Ann Brashares' best-selling novel about one very special summer in the lives of four lifelong friends.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - Music From The Motion Picture opens with Chantal Kreviazuk's performance of "These Days," a new song co-written for the film by Kreviazuk and Five For Fighting's John Ondrasik. The soundtrack includes another track by Chantal, "I Want You To Know," as well as the special remix of Five For Fighting's "If God Made You."
Where the film follows the transformative events in the lives of four young women, the album mirrors the film's emotional arc with vibrant new music from a roster of vital emerging female artists. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - Music From The Motion Picture includes songs from the literate and reflective singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata ("Be Be Your Love"); the roots-rockin' and passionate Shannon Curfman ("Sun's Gonna Rise"); the multiple Brit Award nominee Natasha Bedingfield ("Unwritten"); 17-year-old singer-songwriter Alana Grace ("Black Roses Red"); Blender magazine's "Next Big Thing" vocalist Katy Perry ("Simple"); Rolling Stone's "Artist To Watch" Brandi Carlile ("Closer To You"); and So Cal all-girl buzz band The Valli Girls ("Always There In You").
Directed by Emmy Award-nominated Ken Kwapis ("Malcolm in the Middle") from a screenplay by Delia Ephron and Elizabeth Chandler, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" is produced by Debra Martin Chase, Denise Di Novi, Broderick Johnson and Andrew A. Kosove and stars Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, Blake Lively and Alexis Bledel as four best friends who are separated for the first time. The film also stars Bradley Whitford, Nancy Travis, Rachel Ticotin and Jenna Boyd.
On a last shopping trip together, the young women find a pair of thrift-shop jeans that fits each of them perfectly and decide to use these pants as a way of keeping in touch over the months ahead, each of them wearing the jeans for a week to see what luck they bring her before sending them on to the next. Though miles apart, the four friends still experience life, love and loss together in a summer they'll never forget.
