John Williams - Stepmom

Review by Orefuwa Abib Olakunle

Stepmom by John Williams is an album that showcases the composer's range and versatility. The album features a mix of classical and contemporary pieces, all of which are expertly arranged and performed by Williams and his orchestra.

The album starts off with the soaring "Stepmom Main Title," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Williams takes the listener on a journey through a variety of moods and styles, from the haunting "A Stroll Through the Park" to the playful "The Soccer Game."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Days Between," a poignant and emotional piece that perfectly captures the bittersweet nature of life. Williams' skill as a composer is on full display here, as he weaves together a complex tapestry of strings, woodwinds, and percussion to create a truly moving piece of music.
