April promises to be a big month for fans of comic book superhero ‘Spider-Man’, with the mid-month release of not only the new movie ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’, but also its official soundtrack.
US soul songstress Alicia Keys is the headline act on the new album, performing the lead single ‘It’s On Again’ along with Kendrick Lamar. It was penned by the pair, along with the so-hot-right-now Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer and produced by Pharrell, suggesting it has all the piece to be a big spidey hit.
“I’m very excited to be a part of such a powerful collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer,” Alicia said in a statement. “This is the next chapter in the ‘Spider-Man’ legacy and we really feel ‘It’s On Again’ captures the experience, the story – and most importantly – the meaning behind the film, which is that we all have the potential to be extraordinary.”
Other tracks on the soundtrack come courtesy of Pharrell Williams, The Neighbourhood, LIZ and Alvin Risk.
‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ movie hits cinemas in Australia on Thursday April 17. The soundtrack drops the following day.
