Eclectic, Exclusive New Songs
Enrich Show's Third Season Soundtrack



Just as "The L Word" lights up over 6 million screens weekly with its cast of vibrant, vivacious and vital characters, so do the show's soundtrack albums fire up the iPods and CD players of loyal fans. Working closely with Tommy Boy Entertainment executive and Silver Label co-founder, Rosie Lopez, the show's creator Ilene Chaiken delivers yet another smart, sensuous and soulful soundtrack, "The L Word: The Third Season." The two-CD set — which includes a sixteen page booklet — embraces twenty-four songs by a cherry-picked roster of stellar lesbian and lesbi-friendly artists, deftly incorporating a refreshing variety of genres: folk, electro, country, soul, pop, classical.

Featured are three songs exclusive to the "the L-Word" Season 3 soundtrack: Frazey Ford's (of The Be Good Tanyas) haunting solo rendering of the traditional folk song, "In My Time of Dying," Maggie Moore & Yvette Narlock's
sassy, swaggering "The Lady Loves Me" (originally by Elvis and Ann Margaret in “Viva Las Vegas”)
and the clever "Jesus" by Downtown (NYC) darlin's, BETTY.

Also featured are studio versions of five songs performed live on the show: Tegan and Sara's "Love Type Thing," Jahna's "Flower Duet from Lakme" (forever beloved as the song from the Catherine Deneuve-Susan Sarandon seduction scene in "The Hunger"), Sleater – Kinney's "Jumpers" (recently featured on Logo's "New Now Next" video hour), Tracy Bonham’s “Whether You Fall” and "Transformation," originally released by the fierce Nona Hendryx back in 1983. Nona is joined on this re-recording by the fab "L Word" star Pam Grier and BETTY (the two of whom together sang "Some Kind of Wonderful" on the "Season 2" soundtrack).

Other highlights include "Feel Like Makin' Love" by Neo Soul pin-up D'Angelo (retaining its heat, the song is from a strip-tease scene), Cory Lee's hot-n-horny jeep-beat ditty, "The Naughty Song," Le Tigre's remix of The Gossip's "Standing in the Way of Control," the pert and poppy TraLaLa's "All Fired Up," Esthero's gorgeous "I Drive Alone” and Maria Muldaur’s tassle-twirler, “It Ain’t the Meat, It’s the Motion.” (Yes, she of the Seventies pop hit, “Midnight at the Oasis.”)

“The L Word” is the highest rated series on the Viacom-owned Showtime network. It chronicles the lives of a group of friends living in Los Angeles - both gay and straight - through stories of career, family, inner struggle, friendship
and romantic relationships. The series has become a critical and ratings success, and its influence has helped usher in a revolutionary new wave of gay and lesbian television programming. The series stars Jennifer Beals, Erin
Daniels, Leisha Hailey, Laurel Holloman, Mia Kirshner, Katherine Moennig, Pam Grier, Sarah Shahi, Rachel Shelley and newest cast member, Daniella Sea.

Luxury-loving "L Word" fans finding themselves in hot shops like Fred Segal, Barneys and Gump's this February should look sharp, as they'll be able to snap up the "L Word"-inspired L Eau de Parfum ($75 for a 50-milliliter bottle) and the jewelry line, The L Word Collection ($30 to $1000 with most pieces under $100), marketed by New York company, Love and Pride, which sells the work of jewelry designer Udi Behr primarily to gay and lesbian consumers. Also, due this March from another Viacom unit, Fireside/Simon & Schuster, is the book, "The L Word: Welcome to Our Planet."
