It’s lights out and away they go for Ed Sheeran, ROSÉ of BLACKPINK and several more stars, with Atlantic Records announcing the full lineup for its F1: The Album Thursday (May 1).
In addition to the “Azizam” singer and K-pop star, Tate McRae, RAYE, Burna Boy, Roddy Rich, Dom Dolla, Chris Stapleton, Tiësto, Sexyy Red, Myke Towers, Madison Beer, Peggy Gou and more will also help soundtrack the Brad Pitt-led film. The album was led by the Ryan Tedder-produced single “Lose My Mind” by Don Toliver featuring Doja Cat, which dropped the day prior to the F1: The Album announcement and samples Hans Zimmer’s “F1 Movie Theme.”
Directed by Top Gun: Maverick‘s Joseph Kosinski, F1 finds the Fight Club actor portraying retired racer Sonny Hayes — whose career was cut short decades prior due to an injury — as he returns to the track to help former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem) save his struggling Formula 1 team, Apex Grand Prix. The film will also star Damson Idris as Joshua Pearce, the team’s “hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace,” according to a description.
For the companion album, the filmmakers tapped Kevin Weaver to produce. The two-time Grammy winner previously oversaw the soundtrack albums for Barbie, Twisters, The Greatest Showman, Suicide Squad, Daisy Jones & The Six and Birds of Prey. Atlantic’s Brandon Davis and Joseph Khoury also helped produce the F1 album.
F1 will hit theaters June 27, with the soundtrack dropping the same day. See the full artist lineup and album announcement below.
