JUMP IN! - VARIOUS ARTISTS
The soundtrack to the Disney Channel’s latest musical gets repetitive, what with all the frenetically paced pop-hop tunes about giving it all you’ve got. Then again, it is a movie about Double Dutch. Actress Keke Palmer (”Akeelah and the Bee”), who co-stars in the movie, doesn’t wow with her vocals, and neither does designated dreamboat Corbin Bleu (”High School Musical”). But there are some quirky gems, notably the dancehall-rock production on Jupiter Rising’s “Go! (Jump In! Mix),” the mature voice of Jordan Pruitt on “Jump to the Rhythm” and the “Planet Rock”-inspired “Gotta Lotta” by Prima J. Other Mouse-bitten old-school tunes include T-Squad’s “Vertical,” which channels Cameo’s ’80s hit “Word Up,” and an inevitable House of Pain rehash, “Jump.” (Walt Disney Records). Billboard
