Moulin Rouge! Music from Baz Luhrmann’s film

Few might guess it, but this was one of the more influential albums this Nigerian man listened to as a young lass. Think new and reimagined classics like “Material Girl” by Madonna, “Nature Boy” by Nat King Cole (yes, not Bowie!), “Lady Marmalade” by Patti LaBelle, “Rhythm of the Night” by Debarge…and the list goes on. This album flips each classic on its head—in genre and feel—in order to deliver a deluge of glorious sound. Extra points if you watch the movie!
