2010 soundtrack album by various artists
Almost Alice: Music Inspired by the Motion Picture is a 2010concept album of various artists' music inspired byTim Burton 's film,Alice in Wonderland .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] The album is also notable for featuring songs that were inspired from quotes directly fromLewis Carroll 's original 1865 novelAlice's Adventures in Wonderland . For example, both "The Lobster Quadrille " (byFranz Ferdinand ) and "You Are Old, Father William " (byThey Might Be Giants ) are both word-for-word performances of poems from the originalAlice as quoted by theMock Turtle (the former) andAlice herself to theCaterpillar (the latter). Furthermore, "Very Good Advice" byRobert Smith is a cover ofKathryn Beaumont 's "Very Good Advice" fromDisney 's1951 animated adaptation ofAlice in Wonderland .
The album was released byBuena Vista Records on March 2, 2010.[ 1] It debuted at No. 5 on theBillboard 200 US albums chart. On June 1, 2010,iTunes released a deluxe edition of the album.[ 4] Thelead single , "Alice " byAvril Lavigne is played during the end credits ofAlice in Wonderland and is the only song of the album featured in the film.[ 1] It premiered on January 27, 2010, on the radio programOn Air with Ryan Seacrest .[ 5] The second single was the song "Tea Party " by Estonian pop singerKerli . A special edition of the album with three extra songs is exclusive toHot Topic ,[ 6] though it was also sold online in Mexico by the Mixup Music Store.[ 7] On June 1, 2010, the special edition was released oniTunes .
William Ruhlmann ofAllMusic focused part of his review on Lavigne's track, "Alice", describing it as "a typical piece of self-assertive adolescent pop/rock", noting that it was "ideally suited for heavy rotation onRadio Disney ". Singling out "White Rabbit" and "Very Good Advice" as the album "oddities", Ruhlmann otherwise decided the album was more appealing for children, with nearly all of the songs being "schoolyard chants".[ 8]
