'DARE' TO DREAM Kelis' track on ''XXX'' shimmers

Details Release Date: Aug 06, 2002; Lead Performance: Various Artists; Genres: Hip-Hop/Rap, Rock, Soundtracks

The rock half of the two-CD excursion Music From and Inspired by ''XXX'' is a lot like ''XXX'' star Vin Diesel -- burly, rounded out, and articulate in a minimalist sort of way. Best moments: an optimistic remix of Drowning Pool's ''Bodies'' and the decadent ''Millionaire,'' by Queens of the Stone Age. Tragically, the hip-hop half has little of Diesel's slickness or charm. The only attitude is on N.E.R.D. and Kelis' shimmering ''Truth or Dare'' and Joi's orgiastic ''Lick.''
