Emily and The Woods, a four piece London-based band are kind enough to compile us a mix for this week’s #MixtapeMonday even though they are in the middle of producing their newest EP. “This eclectic list is made up of many tracks that are important to me. I have a funny mix on my iPhone, but they tend to be the most important songs to me; they inspire and illuminate. Either the lyrics or the singing itself jump out at me first and each of these tracks have a stand-out quality to me!” said Emily. We really enjoy this mix and we hope you can enjoy it as much as we do!

Tracklist:

1. Joni Mitchell – Cactus Tree
2. Bob Dylan – You’re a Big Girl Now
3. Willy Mason – Oxygen
4. Kendrick Lamar – Growing Apart (To Get Closer Together)
5. Hannah Cohen – Crying Game
6. Haitus Kaiotye – Malika
7. Fyfe – St Tropez
8. Foals – Late Night
9. Frank Ocean – Monks
10. Atoms For Peace – Ingenue
11. Erykah Badu – Certainly (live version 1997)
12. Ane Brun – Do You Remember
13. Amy Winehouse – I Heard Love Is Blind

Will The Soundtracks Be As Great As The “Gatsby”?

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
‘Young And Beautiful’ – Lana Del Rey
‘Love Is The Drug’ – Bryan Ferry with The Bryan Ferry Orchestra
‘Over The Love’ – Florence + The Machine
‘Where The Wind Blows’ – Coco O. of Quadron
‘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
‘Kill And Run’ – Sia
