Australian Director Baz Luhrmann’s ‘The Get Down’ series premiered on Netflix today. The accompanying soundtrack features Miguel, Zayn, Christina Aguilera, Nile Rodgers, Janelle Monae and Grace and is available now on iTunes and Apple Music.
Of the soundtrack, Luhrmann said,
‘This album is an introduction to the many musical genres and styles that can be heard in ‘The Get Down’, which is really a story of New York in the late 70’s, an incredibly fertile time of creativity amid chaos. While our production is a musical that embodies many classic hits, we also use contemporary sounds and techniques connecting the dots between then and now. My great privilege is to have associated with such a diverse musical community.’
The Get Down was executive produced by Luhrmann and Nas and premieres globally today with the soundtrack featuring original songs and classics reimagined for the series.
The CD will be out on 23 SEPTEMBER, and you can pre-order it here.
