SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:29 Min.
For the 2008 Mamma Mia! Soundtrack, co-stars Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfried duet on this cover of the vintage ABBA hit.
REVIEW:
Over-indulging mid-80’s-style electronica at times, this tune is a mixed bag. As a result, Dominic Cooper’s contribution falls between an okay European disco tune and glorified karaoke. He sounds better blending in with his male back-up singers. Amanda Seyfried, however, is consistently terrific on this tune, both with and without her allotment of female back-up singers. “Lay All Your Love on Me” is by no means a must-have, but it delivers Seyfried’s sparkling pop vocals.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
Note: The duo’s rendition of “One of Us” on 2018’s Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again soundtrack is preferable. Cooper’s vocals are improved, and the melody proves a better fit for them as a duet.
