Milan Records has released the soundtrack for A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, a new film starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell. The soundtrack includes famed Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi’s score for the film, four tracks performed by Laufey, and a cover of the Who’s Pete Townshend’s “Let My Love Open the Door,” performed by Mitski. Find the Townshend cover and full soundtrack below.
Hisaishi is best known for his work with Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, most recently collaborating with the director and studio on 2023’s The Boy and the Heron. With A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, he “makes his Hollywood feature scoring debut,” as noted in a press release.
Three of Laufey’s four songs on A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) are covers, but one, “The Risk,” is an original that was apparently written at the behest of the movie’s director, Kogonada. Laufey co-produced the song with Spencer Stewart, her primary collaborator on new album A Matter of Time.
