OST / Notting Hill
Notting Hill – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack brings together the music from one of the best-loved romantic comedies of the 1990s. Released alongside the 1999 film starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, the soundtrack mixes contemporary pop and soul with older favourites, creating a collection that perfectly matches the film's warm, funny and unmistakably British character.
Among its best-known tracks is Ronan Keating's "When You Say Nothing at All", which became one of the biggest hits of his solo career. The soundtrack also features Elvis Costello's beautiful version of "She", alongside songs from artists including Shania Twain, Al Green, Lighthouse Family and 98 Degrees.
Much of the appeal comes from how closely the music has become associated with the film itself. Whether accompanying the changing seasons around Portobello Road or the more emotional moments between William and Anna, the songs are an important part of the atmosphere that helped make Notting Hill such an enduring favourite.
More than 25 years after the film's release, the soundtrack remains a wonderfully nostalgic snapshot of late-'90s pop alongside some genuinely timeless songs. Romantic, easy-going and immediately familiar, it is a perfect companion to a film that continues to find new audiences.
