Trying to adapt one of the most prestigious F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books with bunch of high profile actors has alreadymade this movie as one of the must seen movies, but to add the list with the high profile musicians for the soundtracks, I must say Baz Luhrmann is pretty much a go big or go home kind of man.
Taking Jay-Z onboard as an executive music producer and Anton Monsted as a music supervisor, they managed to roster artists from across Universal Music Group’s labels, Beyonce to Lana Del Ray, The Fergie to Florence + The Machine, Bryan Ferry Orchestra to The XX and to Jack White, which we all can assume although the story is set in the ’20s, but the musics are most definitely not, well okay maybe if  they blend to the future.

We all have our own favorite movie soundtracks, from Star Wars to Nick and Norah to Les Miserables, so can this be our next most favourite movie soundtracks? Lana Del Rey, among the artists who wrote songs for the picture, is the first out of the blocks. Her “Young and Beautiful” was released ahead of the album, which arrived on May 7, and is being used in its trailer along with “Over the Love” from Florence & the Machine. As myself thinks that Fergie, Q-Tip, and GoonRock’s “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)” is perfect to summarize the flamboyance Jay Gatsby, not to Beyonce and Andre 3000′s cover of Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black,” it’s too dramatic the essence of the song makes no connection with the movie itself.

“..And the story is so relevant to today we wanted music that would have the spark that jazz would have had in the 1920s..” – Luhrmann

The tracklisting for The Great Gatsby standard soundtrack is:

’100$ Bill’ – Jay-Z
‘Back To Black’ – Beyonce x Andre 3000
‘Bang Bang’ – will.i.am
‘A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)’ – Fergie + Q Tip + GoonRock

‘Crazy In Love’ – Emeli Sande and The Bryan Ferry Orchestra
‘Together’ – The xx
‘Hearts A Mess’ – Gotye
‘Love Is Blindness’ – Jack White
‘Into The Past’ – Nero
