CS Lewis classic to inspire two soundtrack albums.

EMI CMG are set to release two soundtracks of songs inspired by one of the year's most anticipated films, a live action adaptation of the best-selling CS Lewis children's classic, The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. The projects are being produced through a partnership between EMI CMG's parent company, EMI Music, and the film's producers, Walt Disney Studios and Walden Media. The film will be released worldwide on 9th December. The first album project is a soundtrack of original songs inspired by the film featuring Christian artists including Steven Curtis Chapman, TobyMac, Nichole Nordeman, Jars Of Clay, The Newsboys, Jeremy Camp, Rebecca St James, Chris Tomlin, Delirious?, Bethany Dillon and the David Crowder Band. This album will be followed by a soundtrack featuring mainstream pop and rock artists, which is scheduled to be released on 25th October.

I think thats it great how the media acutally let the movie show considering there are so many movie critics out there and yet most people wanted to go out and watch it even tho most of those people weren't christians so i thought that it was a good idea to have it shown !!( just like the Passion Of The Christ)

The delirious boys where not actual involved in making the film, however they were approached by EMI to have a soung put on this soundtrack. Basically after talks between them they decided to use 'Stonger' which is a song on there new forthcoming album. However im sure it wasnt inspired by Narnia, more likely to be inspired by God and used by EMI to help sell there album.
