Woman Thou Art Loosed!: On The 7th Day is a compelling story that unites love, suspense and faith into one heart-wrenching package. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Neema Barnette, the film underscores the impact of secrets, lies and deception on the lives of the featured characters. David (Blair Underwood) and Kari (Sharon Leal) Ames seem to have the perfect life until their young daughter is kidnapped, and over the course of seven days they begin to uncover secrets about their past that threaten to rip their marriage and lives apart...

The soundtrack to Woman Thou Art Loosed!: On the 7th Day features an interesting mix of styles and themes, but sadly there's just too much atmospheric filler material here designed to heighten the onscreen imagery. The album lasts for 55 min and 44 sec and is spread across 28 tracks.

Personal favourite tracks include 'Happy Family'; 'Mother’s Sorrow'; 'On the Third Day' which holds arguably this album's most beautiful theme - it's just a shame more of the album wasn't in this style; 'Good Bedtime Story'; and 'David Trashes Office'.

It's a shame that this album's beautiful set pieces are buried within the atmospheric tracks, as this shows serious promise. If you're a fan of the film you may enjoy this, but soundtrack fanatics might like to listen to this before they part with their money. Like Mark Kilian's previous score for American Flyer, there's just not enough here to make it an essential purchase for your music collection.
