Jennifer Love Hewitt, Orgy, Grant Lee Buffalo Team for Soundtrack

Jennifer Love Hewitt -- or Sarah, to those living in a world where big brothers can assume the role of family guardian -- has become the latest Hollywood dilettante by contributing a pop radio single to the film soundtrack I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, due out Nov. 17. |

The Party of Five temptress recorded the original track "How Do I Deal" for the sequel movie, which opens November 13 (Friday the 13th). The wholesome Neutrogena gal laid down the track with veteran producers David Foster (Michael Jackson, Michael Bolton) and Bruce Fairbairn (Bon Jovi, Aerosmith), and shot the film-heavy music video last week in Los Angeles.

"She really knocked this song out of the park," says soundtrack supervisor John Houlihan. "We're hoping for the same kind of synergistic thing that Will Smith had with Men in Black."

Getting' jiggy with it long before Bailey entered the picture, Love Hewitt spat out her first piece of bubble gum pop at age sixteen with 1995's Let's Go Bang. Now, she'll hobnob with less accessible artists on this soundtrack, which includes songs by drum n' bass darlings Lamb, techno virtuoso CJ Bolland and alt-metal rockers Orgy, who remake a version of New Order's "Blue Monday." Los Angeles folk rock troupe Grant Lee Buffalo also contribute "Testimony" from their June release, Jubilee.

Filled out by Mercury Record's pet project band Swirl 360 and hyped newcomer Imogen Heap, on paper I Still Know What You Did Last Summer soundtrack pales in comparison to its 1997 predecessor, which featured Type O Negative, L7 and Korn, among others.
