The Irishman, Starring Robert De Niro, Releases Movie Soundtrack
If you enjoyed the award-winning Netflix original movie The Irishman, starring East Ender Robert De Niro, but wished you could better hear the incredible score over all the action, you’re in luck—the soundtrack is available now.
On Friday, November 8, Sony Music Masterworks released the album on Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Jay-Z‘s Tidal and the like. The soundtrack features music carefully curated by director Martin Scorsese and music supervisor Randall Poster as a much-anticipated companion to the film’s enthralling narrative of organized crime in postwar America. The 20-track collection includes top hits by legendary artists—including Fats Domino, Jackie Gleason, Jerry Vale, Johnny Ray, Marty Robbins, Pérez Prado and others, as well as a new theme composed by legendary guitarist and composer Robbie Robertson. A vinyl of the soundtrack will be released on Amazon on February 7, 2020 and is available for preorder now.
“For me, music is always essential. When I hear the music, I start seeing the images and the world of the movie starts coming together for me,” Scorsese said in a statement. “In the case of this movie, it was ‘In the Still of the Night’ by The Five Satins—as we started developing the script I started to hear the song in my head, and it became a key inspiration.”
