Last Night in Soho is the

music in the 1960s, consisting a wide range of genres,[2] while the latter, consisted of tracks from the original score composed by Steven Price.[3] This film marked Price's third collaboration with Wright after The World's End (2012) and Baby Driver (2017). The soundtrack and score, was later released on double vinyl, published by Mondo on 17 and 31 December 2021.[4]

Wright collected samples from several records and cassettes from the 1960s, and had presented a few of the popular tracks to fit in the screenplay, that were later compiled into the album. Those tracks influenced several sequences in the film.[5][6] The score and soundtrack received positive critical reception, and has received several awards and nominations.[7]

Overview

The music in Last Night in Soho is stuff that I feel very passionately about, and it’s always a thrill to work with a song that you really love and in some cases do something interesting with it. I would be constantly cherry-picking these British mid-‘60s tracks I wanted to use that were all of a similar sort of tone and feel. I make a playlist for the film, as a way of reminding myself [...] At a certain point, the long version of the playlist was 300 songs long, and then I got it down to 50 or something like that.

—Edgar Wright[8]

Wright stated in his interview to the

1960s music, from events happened in his life. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Wright said "When my older brother was born, at some point my parents stopped buying records. So I was left with one decade to think about, and I would listen to [the records] obsessively," he recalls. "And then their stories about the '60s were incredibly vague, so that made me want to know more and more."[9]

Some of the songs inspired sequences in the film. When Wright heard a cover version of "Wade In The Water" by the Graham Bond Organisation, he "would just start imagining that first dream". Cilla Black's "You're My World" with its dramatic strings conjured up "the sort of the tone and the mood". Most of the songs selected were from the 1960s. Wright also chose "Happy House" by Siouxsie and the Banshees from the 1980s, because "the production on that song is incredible" and it fits a "scene in the movie where they are at a student union Halloween dance".[10] Discussing about the choice of contemporary music, he stated: "I like songs that become famous in a different realm. Like we use "Got My Mind Set on You" the original by James Ray, which most people know as the George Harrison cover. And a lot of people know "Happy House" because the Weeknd sampled it."[10]

A cover of the Petula Clark 1964 international hit "Downtown" was performed by lead actress Taylor-Joy. Her version was released on 22 October 2021.[11] Joy said "It's not every day you're asked to record several versions of an iconic song. The sounds of the '60s was what first made me fall in love with music so I was overjoyed when Edgar asked me to give it a go".[12]

"This is the first that we discussed it and it was great. We just kind of, you know, chose a tempo. … We changed the arrangement of the strings and we recorded this spooky version with all the backing vocals live in the room. Everyone playing together, really sort of a slowed down spooky version of "Downtown" which I then took away to my studio and added some of the sounds that are associated with the score. So there’s mellotrons and a little bit of bass stuff and various keyboards and guitars that I played here. And then we got Anya to do another vocal on it, over in LA., and of course she was brilliant."

— Steven Price, in an interview to The Hollywood Reporter[13]

Reception

A critical reception from

InDaily-based Penelope Debelle wrote 'Music is once again the key in Baby Driver director Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho. This music-drenched, neon thriller takes us back to Swinging London in the ’60s, reminding us of the uncomplicated pleasures of pop songs".[19]
