As a self-professed classic movie freak, you’d normally never catch me watching Barbie movies. However, having a young family changed all that. So I was accompanying a daughter watching “Barbie as the Island Princess” (2007) one day, and was about to fall asleep when a most beautiful melody woke me up, the song “I Need To Know”, written by Megan Cavallari.

There are 2 versions of that song in the DVD, but the one sung by Cassidy Ladden during the end credits is the best:

And it was never even released as a single! So, if not for Barbie, I would’ve never even have heard of this song.

By then I was expecting other good songs from the Barbie movie franchise, and discovered another gem in “Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper” (2004) with the song “Written In Your Heart,” also written by Megan Cavallari:

Probably you’d have noticed that I’m into not-too-slow ballads i.e. not one of those ultra-speed rave-maniac numbers which has all the makings to be the worlds fastest fat burner if you danced along long enough to it. IMHO, the beauty of music is primarily in the melody, not skills show-off.
