Untitled

The Movie Songbook is the second studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter Sharleen Spiteri. It was released on 1 March 2010. The album consists of movie covers, chosen and recorded by Spiteri herself in 2009.

Reception

digitalspy.co.uk said of the album that: 'A fair chunk of the song selection is so pedestrian it deserves its own crossing' and that the songs are 'completely undone by their horrific arrangements'.
