NEW ALBUM: NICHOLAS BRITELL | DON'T LOOK UP (SOUNDTRACK FROM NETFLIX FILM)

Republic Records has released the official soundtrack album for the Netflix original film "Don’t Look Up." The album features the movie’s original score composed by Academy Award nominee Nicholas Britell (Moonlight, Succession, The Big Short, If Beale Street Could Talk, Cruella, Vice, The Underground Railroad). Also included are the original songs "Just Look Up" performed by Ariane Grande & Kid Cudi and co-written by themselves, Britell & Taura Stinson and "Second Nature" written by Britell & Justin Vernon performed by Bon Iver. The soundtrack will be released digitally on December 10. “This might have been the most challenging score I’ve ever had to write,” says composer Nicholas Britell of “Don’t Look Up,” the sci-fi social satire starring Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio, now in theatres. Britell, a two-time Oscar nominee (“Moonlight,” “If Beale Street Could Talk”) and Emmy winner (“Succession”), pondered – “every day for over a year” – how to find the right musical approach for Adam McKay’s “unbelievable blend of reality with comedy, absurdity with truth, and the profundity of the moment.” The comedy follows two astronomers on a media tour to warn humankind of a planet-killing comet hurtling toward Earth. The film will be released in theatres on December 10 before premiering on Netflix on December 24
