Django Unchained OST (Artwork x Tracklist)
As we approach the release of Quentin Tarantino’s forthcoming directorial, the artwork and tracklist for the soundtrack have been revealed. If you’re not aware of the film, Django Unchained is set for release on December 25th, starring Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson and many more.
Moving away from the cast, we come across a rather interesting line-up for the soundtrack, with the likes of John Legend, Rick Ross, Tupac, James Brown, Anthony Hamilton and other notable artists making contributions. You’ll also be pleased to know that Jamie Foxx took upon producing a number of songs as well as his acting role. Tarantino had this to say about the collection of 23 tracks:
“I want to thank all the artists who contributed original songs (a first for me) to the picture. Most of these contributions came out of the artists’ own inspiration and their illustration of the film’s soul is invaluable. In addition to the new original songs I am also using a lot of older recordings on the soundtrack – many of which came from my personal vinyl collection. Instead of having the record companies give me new digitally cleaned up versions of these recordings from the 60′s and 70′s, I wanted to use the vinyl I’ve been listening to for years – complete with all the pops and cracks. I even kept the sound of the needle being put down on the record. Basically because I wanted people’s experience to be the same as mine when they hear this soundtrack for the first time.”
Make sure you get a chance to pick up the soundtrack during the Christmas holidays, with a release to stores and iTunes on December 18th. Take a look at the full tracklist after the jump.

After releasing the smash hit “Let Me Love You” and watching it climb up the top of the Hot 100 charts, Ne-Yo is returning with the new single off R.E.D., the Fabolous and Diddy-featured “Should Be You.” The track has a bit of that ’90s feel, but it’s surprisingly not a dance record.
