The Great Gatsby....

I just downloaded this album after listening to it on Youtube on a loop.  I thought I would be able to go and pick off some of my favorite songs, but unfortunately, most of the songs are for sale "album only".  So, I had to buy the whole album.  That's okay though because overall, this soundtrack is full of sick, sexy-ass music.  Seriously.  Artistic, dark, sexy adaptations of various covers, plus several new songs. And many of them have a vibe from the Gatsby era, which thrills me, because as I've said before, I've always felt like I should have lived from the 20's - the 40's (longer, of course, but that was "my" time).  That era is so sexy to me.  This movie and this soundtrack captures some of that.  I love it.

"Back to Black"

by

Beyonce & Andre 3000

(I never thought I would like a version

other than the one performed by the

late, great Amy Winehouse,

but I LOVE this!)

"A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" by Fergie    




"Bang Bang" by Will.i.am    

"Crazy In Love" by Emeli Sande         "Over the Love" by Florence & the Machine     There is so much music... so many kinds for every taste, I believe.  Darker, heavier, lighter, etc.  These are just some of my favorites.  You should check it out.
