The Great Gatsby: Music from Baz Luhrmann's Film (also known as Music from Baz Luhrmann's Film The Great Gatsby) is the

alternative music
. Luhrmann specifically selected these styles of music to better immerse the audience into the story of The Great Gatsby.

The album received a mixed response, with the selection of songs and singers dividing critics. It peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and appeared on several national record charts. The album has received three gold certifications from the Australian Recording Industry Association, the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry, and the Recording Industry Association of America. The album spawned three singles: "Young and Beautiful", "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)", and "Bang Bang".

Background

Jay-Z served as an executive producer for both the album and the film.[3][4] The album's artwork features a small circular icon with "JZ" inside it, directly below the album's title. He worked with film director Baz Luhrmann for two years to transform the Jazz Age theme of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel into the musical equivalents of blended hip-hop, traditional jazz and other contemporary genres.[1] On his approach to the project, Luhrmann said: "The question for me in approaching Gatsby was how to elicit from our audience the same level of excitement and pop cultural immediacy toward the world that Fitzgerald did for his audience? And in our age, the energy of jazz is caught in the energy of hip-hop."[5] Luhrmann also stated that Jeymes Samuel was one of the individuals he worked with on the soundtrack. He served as the film's executive music consultant. He further described his collaborations with the producers of the album during an interview with MTV saying, "[Jeymes is] a really great friend of [Jay's] and just a unique human being. He defines energy; he defines spirit and he's a pop cultural genius. And I worked with Anton Monsted ... a great little team."[6] The duo also worked with composer Craig Armstrong, who scored Luhrmann's films Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Moulin Rouge! (2001),[4] and executive music supervisor Anton Monsted.[7]

Production

The soundtrack contains both new music and cover versions. Fergie, Lana Del Rey, Florence and the Machine, Jay-Z,[8] the xx, and will.i.am contributed original songs.[4][5] Covers include Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" by Beyoncé and André 3000,[9] Roxy Music's "Love Is the Drug" by Bryan Ferry with the Bryan Ferry Orchestra, Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" by Emeli Sandé and the Bryan Ferry Orchestra, and U2's "Love Is Blindness" by Jack White. Del Rey said of her experience contributing to the project: "It was an honor to work with Baz Luhrmann on his amazing adaptation of one of the most extraordinary books ever written. The movie is highly glamorous and exciting; Rick Nowels and I were thrilled to write the song for the film."[10]

On April 2, 2013, Amy Winehouse's father used his

The Huffington Post noted that Beyoncé did not use the song on a personal record so it was "slightly curious" for Winehouse to ask her for a donation.[12] Winehouse later used his Twitter account to write: "I like Beyoncé's cover and have no probs."[13] However, upon hearing the full-length track, he wrote on his Twitter profile, "I just heard the André part of 'Back to Black'. Terrible. He should have let Beyoncé do it all."[14]

Music and lyrics

The Daily Telegraph described the film's music as a "decidedly modern mix of 21st century rap, rock and pop".[3] Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone commented that the album's songs have "a consistent mood of noirish, doomed romance".[16] Several songs feature influences from electronic music which was also present on the soundtrack for Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet.[17] Other musical elements featured on the album include electronica, hip-hop, and rock music with jazz-age sounds.[18] Kathy McCabe of Australia's The Daily Telegraph noted the inclusion of "orchestral flourishes" in most of the songs.[19] Instrumentally, horn-driven sounds with loping bass beats and house music synths are used in the songs.[20]

The songs' themes include partying, murder, and heartache help to drive "the story's point home – illusionary love, the excess of the leisure classes, [and] the curse of money" as noted by Cristina Jaleru of the Associated Press.[18] Entertainment Weekly's Adam Carlson concluded that the soundtrack's songs reflected that it is set nearly a century in the past. He noted that it contains "all honking brass and a preference for tempos that slide up the scale like liquor, getting hot just as they hit the chorus".[21] Logan Smithson of the webzine PopMatters commented that an important function of a soundtrack is, "[...] to maintain a cohesive sound: a general theme to piece the tracks together and make it sound like a single piece of work rather than a collection of songs." He felt that the soundtrack accomplished this feat although the artists come from a mixture of genres and backgrounds.[22] He further noted, "The Great Gatsby Soundtrack does its job of capturing the sound of the Roaring '20s. A fusion of horns brings the era to life with a modern twist. Jazzy melodies are captured by the Bryan Ferry Orchestra. Some songs certainly have a neo-soul vibe going, reminiscent of the late Amy Winehouse."[22]

Songs

The opening song, "100$ Bill" by Jay-Z contains a

electro-rap elements, and is written from the perspective of a modern-day Gatsby.[17][23][24] It begins with a speech by Leonardo DiCaprio, while throughout the song Jay-Z is backed by samples of a children's choir and a '20s jazz horn.[20][25] In the song, he raps about being remembered, the pitfalls of wealth, as well as comparing rich people from the 1920s and the 21st century.[16][26] "Back to Black", written by Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse, originally appeared on her 2006 album of the same name.[27] It was the last song added to the album after Jay-Z's suggestion to Luhrmann that it be included to add a darker moment to the album. It is a slower version than the original with chopped-and-screwed elements, a dark and haunting sound, using guitar, moody synth and electro bleeps to provide the instrumentation.[6][25][28] "Bang Bang" performed by will.i.am contains a sample of the jazz composition "Charleston" (1923) and features Louis Armstrong-inspired vocals along with hi-NRG, EDM, electropop and.[17][19][25] hip-hop elements, and 1920s-style dance music as well as the use of a ukulele.[16][20] "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)" is a swing, hip-hop, and dubstep song which references the novel's viewing parties held by Gatsby.[21][29][30]

"

drum 'n bass circular beat and jazzy keys.[19][30] R. Kurt Osenlund of Slant Magazine commented that the song has the "instrumentals of a Cole Porter classic, but vocals akin to those of Jennifer Hudson".[39] Jim Farber of New York's Daily News noted that she sings with the doll-like vocals of Betty Boop.[20][39]

"Crazy in Love", credited to Beyoncé, Shawn Carter (Jay-Z), Rich Harrison, and Eugene Record, originally appeared on her 2003 album Dangerously in Love.[5][40] It was chosen for inclusion on the album as it reminded the Luhrmann of a character from the novel and it was a blend of modern and traditional music complete with a jazz band and Sandé's vocals.[6] The version included on the album is a swing and soul mash-up.[41][42] The song "Together" by the xx contains skeletal electro-pop elements and a slow atmosphere,[43][44] as well as a dark and insistent backing, metronomic beat, and breathy, deep vocals which climax with an orchestral swell.[19] Thomas Corner of the Chicago Sun-Times, notes that "[it] evokes the narrative's palpable desperation in its hushed tone and nagging heart-monitor beat."[45] "Hearts a Mess" first appeared on Gotye's second studio album, Like Drawing Blood (2006).[46] It is a "neo-lounge ballad" "with the same clunking, treated backbone used in Gotye's song 'Somebody That I Used to Know'".[16][25][38] Lucy Jones of NME notes it is instrumentally complete with "strings, martial beats", horns and Wouter "Wally" De Backer's vocals".[25][38] According to Philip Cosores of Paste magazine, three of Gotye's vocal styles are featured in the song, "the hushed and earnest songwriter, the Sting-esque frontman with remarkable range to handle the chorus, and then the human and battered character of the song's latter moments".[38]

"Love Is Blindness" was originally written by

crescendo that hits all the right emotional notes without becoming overwrought".[28][45] "No Church in the Wild", which was originally included on Watch the Throne (2011),[49] appears on the deluxe edition of the album.[50] It features vocals by Kanye West and includes techno-rap elements.[18]

Release and promotion

On April 4, 2013, Interscope and Warner Brothers announced the album's track listing.[7] The same day, a new trailer for the film featured previews of three songs from the soundtrack: "Back to Black", "Over the Love", and "Young and Beautiful".[1][15] One MTV contributor wrote that the trailer spotlights the relationship between two of the film's characters, "but it's really only here to show off the movie's soundtrack".[51] A six-minute sampler of the soundtrack, which contained snippets of the songs, excluding "Back to Black" and "100$ Bill", was released on April 16, 2013, on YouTube.[41][43][52] The whole album was made available for streaming through NPR on May 2, 2013.[21][53] It was released through Interscope Records on May 6, 2013.[54]

Beyoncé and André 3000's cover of "Back to Black" was premiered by Mark Ronson on his

twelfth season of American Idol to promote the film, while the final four contestants covered Sandé's version of "Crazy in Love".[57][58]

Pre-orders for

vinyl deluxe edition of the soundtrack as well as 7" single releases of several songs.[59] The double LP deluxe version of the album is on "metalized" vinyl where the first disc is platinum, the second is golden; they are packaged in laser-cut birch record jackets "riveted to aluminum spines".[60] The materials were chosen to "showcase the Art Deco-meets-modern style, classic meets cutting edge, which is the essence of The Great Gatsby film".[60] Pre-sale of the album began on May 10 through the label's website, and 100 copies were released at Third Man's Nashville shop the same day.[60] The song premiered on SoundCloud on April 22, 2013.[61]

On April 23, 2013, "Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Rey was released and served as the lead single for the soundtrack.

United Kingdom Singles Chart. It received a Platinum certificate from the British Phonographic Industry for selling more than 600,000 units in the United Kingdom.[72]

The soundtrack received a generally favorable reception. Prior to the album's release, The Philadelphia Inquirer complimented Jay-Z for assembling a talented and diverse musical roster.[89] R. Kurt Osenlud of Slant Magazine wrote that the album was "easily the most anticipated album of its kind in years" and described its sound as an "extraordinary melding of vintage and contemporary sounds". Osenlud also commented that the soundtrack was a "literate answer to the mash-up, another hip and highbrow upgrade in both sights and sounds" for the composer Craig Armstrong.[39]

At

AllMusic's David Jeffries gave the album a 4 out of 5 star rating. He praised the album, writing in his review, "Buying into Luhrmann's vision is always the issue, but here, the music is crafted enough, inspired enough, and deep enough that it's worth diving into without reservations. Luckily, you can wring all that disappointment and despair out of your fine, stylish suit after surfacing."[54] Kelly Dearmore of American Songwriter gave the soundtrack a 3.5 out of 5 score, writing that the songs from the soundtrack create a resemblance of the movie's plot, adding "[...] it mirrors many aesthetic elements of the film, augments the general storyline and adds depth and personality to the characters and dialogue on the screen".[86] Philip Cosores of Paste magazine noted that the album's songs were not related to hip-hop describing the music as "middling, neither offensive nor revolutionary, with memorable moments and forgettable ones".[38] PopMatters' Logan Smithson gave the album a 6 out of 10 score, writing that the soundtrack avoids sticking to only one genre, stating that the different styles on the soundtrack were made in sacrifice.[22]

While the album did receive positive reviews, there were also mixed ones. Elysa Gardner of

anachronistic hootenanny", adding, "With nods to the roaring '20s without attempts at replicating them, most performances are restrained and pull at the various taut threads of Gatsby's unraveling."[45] Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine gave a mixed review writing that "The Great Gatsby speaks on Duke and Ella's behalf when it says, 'It don't mean a thing.' Period".[88]

Drew McWeeny of

vehicular manslaughter" which combines different music elements "in ways that demean all genres".[92] She also commented that the struggle of now-ness "is pertinent to one of the soundtrack’s few achievements" and concluded "the elegance of suggestion from its better songs is disrupted by its obnoxious neighbors".[92] Bloomberg L.P.'s Mark Beech gave the album a similarly negative review, heavily criticizing the production by Jay-Z and referring to the album as "a commercial shotgun marriage that threatens to go awry, damaging the credibility of both the movie and the brands". He did praise the track "Young and Beautiful" and said, "If it were all this good, Music From Baz Luhrmann's Film: 'The Great Gatsby' would be 4-stars. In the event, it's barely 1-star."[93]
