JBFC Mixtapes, Vol. 21: Social Distancing Sing-Along

by JBFC Digital Marketing Associate Paige Grand Pré

JBFC Mixtapes is an initiative from the Burns to highlight the music—from soundtracks to scores—that makes the cinematic experience so special. Vol. 21 comes to us from JBFC Digital Marketing Associate Paige Grand Pré, who compiled a list of the all-time best cinematic sing-alongs. She writes: “I know a lot of us—myself included—are struggling with social distancing, so I figured I’d do the next best thing and put together a virtual sing-along. I’m a big fan of movie musicals to begin with, but I also love when characters in a non-musical break out in song, too—there’s something so human and beautiful about the idea that certain emotions can only be expressed by belting them out. Here’s hoping this mixtape offers us a way to celebrate that feeling of pure joy and perhaps offer some peace of mind knowing that somewhere out there, maybe—just maybe—someone else is singing along with you too.” You can start singing along by listening through the embedded player below, or save the playlist to listen offline later!
