The Get Down Original Soundtrack

Baz Luhrmann's label, House of Iona, and RCA Records have released The Get Down Original Soundtrack From The Netflix Original Series through Sony Music Entertainment Australia, exclusively via iTunes and Apple Music today. The soundtrack accompanies the highly anticipated music-driven drama series The Get Down, premiering globally on Netflix today.  The physical CD is available for pre-order now ahead of its release on September 23^rd.  

Executive produced by Luhrmann and Nas, The Get Down Original Soundtrack From The Netflix Original Series features music by the show's cast as well as tracks by Nas, Miguel, Christina Aguilera, Zayn, Michael Kiwanuka, Leon Bridges, Jaden Smith, Raury and more.  In addition to the stellar line up, Luhrmann has enlisted Grammy Award-winning producers/songwriters Malay and Emile Haynie as collaborators for the soundtrack, plus contributions from Elliott Wheeler, Grandmaster Flash and Nile Rodgers. 

'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," says Luhrmann. '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." He continues, 'There will also be a deluxe version and while it carries many of the tracks from the original soundtrack, it also includes many of the cast performances and a sampling of the crucial classics that we've called upon in the making of the production."

Executive produced by Luhrmann and Nas, The Get Down Original Soundtrack From The Netflix Original Series features original songs and classics reimagined for the series.
