Sony Music today announces the release of THE LAST OF US PART II (ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK) with music by GUSTAVO SANTAOLALLA and additional music by MAC QUAYLE.  Available now to stream and for digital download, the album features music written by Santaolalla and Quayle for the second installment of the fan-favorite action-adventure game from Sony Interactive Entertainment.  Developed by Naughty Dog, The Last of Us Part II  is available now for PlayStation® 4 (PS4™) system.

Of the soundtrack, composer GUSTAVO SANTAOLALLA says, "Composing the music for The Last of Us Part II represented one of the biggest challenges of my career. Diving into the universe of the first game inspired me to come up with sounds, instrumentation and moods that became very closely related to the story and the characters. Fortunately, people found in the music the precise emotional support that a story such as The Last of Us required. The way in which fans related to the score of that first game is something I had never experience before.

    Awards Radar - Emilia Yu writes….HBO’s The Last of Us blew away video game fans and newcomers alike when it aired in January, setting a new standard for future video game adaptations. We can credit the writers and creators of both the series and the game, the cast, the effects, and everything in between, but one crucial component that must not be overlooked is the music. We had the chance to speak with comp...

    PAJBA's Petr Navovy writes….It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been this excited for anything to do with TV. Where once I was an avid series watcher, these days I find myself struggling to start anything new. Aside from Better Call Saul, Barry, and Atlanta, my TV viewing has been reduced to popping on the occasional It’s Always Sunny, classic Simpsons, Arrested Development, or doing another rewatch of T...

    Posted At: January 14, 2021 12:00 AM

    HAPPY's Rian Howlett writes.....2020 was an incredible year for gaming for a few reasons. A lot of free time went around the place, imminent next-gen releases pushed everyone into a gaming frenzy, and Keanu Reeves called another man, and all of us, breathtaking. And just like the titles they represent, the video game soundtracks released in 2020 were top notch. We trawled back through the year th...

Parijat writes ......Great music can make a game, just as bad music can break it, and this year, thankfully, we had plenty of examples of the former. From soulful soundtracks to set the mood to headbanging tunes to go along with high-octane action, there was a good variety of excellent music in games this year, and here...

    COGconnected's PAUL SULLIVAN writes......Music is an underappreciated component of games. If it's done really well, it dramatically enhances the experience. The instruments and melodies blend perfectly into the visual design, bringing the whole thing into perfect focus. The beauty is, there's no singular way of doing that. Among our ten favorite video game soundtracks and scores from the past year is ...

    Posted At: December 19, 2020 12:00 AM

    Picking the Best Original Soundtrack is, to my mind, one of the more difficult awards to decide upon in our Game of the Year awards. Picking the narrative that affected me the most, the game that looks the best or even plays the best feels relatively simple by comparison, when soundtracks can feed into all the other aspects of a game, amplifying an aesthetic, underscoring dramatic moments, ratcheting up ...

    Oscar-winning musician; Gustavo Santaolalla says "Anglo rock lost sight of that rock 'n' roll essence that makes it a platform to criticize structures of power," . There are times when a movie's haunting score is as memorable as its characters.

    The dystopian Seattle of The Last of Us 2 is a vision of the Pacific-Northwest unlike anything witnessed in the pages of Lonely Planet. The cordyceps fungus has lain waste to a city flooded by busted waterways and overgrown with foliage, which only serves to camouflage its diseased population. Rusted campervans share blocked highways with abandoned tanks and the detritus of a guerrilla conflict that is d...
