Why was Sandra Bullock called 'force' behind 'Practical Magic 2' soundtrack?

In Practical Magic 2, Sandra Bullock not only stars in the sequel but also plays a key role in shaping the upcoming movie's soundtrack.

The franchise, especially the original movie, has a strong association with music.

According to the film's producer Denise Di Novi, “Sandra Bullock is so talented with music."

“She started as a dancer, and she’s very gifted with music,” she raved about Bullock.

In key roles, Novi said the actress has been instrumental in deciding the direction of soundtracks.

“She’s an executive producer on the [movie’s] album. She was extremely integral with our music supervisor Season [Kent] and Gabe [Hilfer] … it was all a collaboration with us in the studio. She really was a force with this.”

She told People, “And we knew the soundtrack from the first album was a tremendous success and still is, and we really felt the pressure to have this movie use songs in the way that the first movie did and have a soundtrack where people were, like, ‘I have to download that. I have to get that.'"

To shed light on the 1998 movie Practical Magic, note that several popular songs were featured.

Stevie Nicks and Sheryl Crow's If You Ever Did Believe and Faith Hill's This Kiss, as well as Marvin Gaye's Got to Give It Up and Elvis Presley's Always On My Mind.
