The hidden movie soundtrack series#
A graduate of the Seoul Jazz Academy, he won the Hollywood Music in Media Award for this soundtrack for Squid Game - Netflix's most-watched series ever. In addition to his soundtracks for films Parasite and Okja, Jung has collaborated with K-pop artists such as Hyo Shin Park. Featuring the Budapest Scoring Orchestra and Choir, the music commemorates the 40th anniversary of the May 18th Democratic Uprising of Gwangju, South Korea. Using Psalm verses from the Bible as text, the new album includes choral a cappella, string ensemble, and electronics. (The teens’ note to the assistant principal reads, “What we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal.Upon signing, Jung's first project with Decca will be his choral-electronic album psalms, which will see its international release on July 22 in partnership with Universal Music Korea.
In the context of the movie, “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” plays as a lover’s forget-me-not-but equally as plea to those newly discovered selves. We watched the kids transform before our eyes, but we simply didn’t know if any of these newfound identities would stick for longer than a weekend. “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” was the perfect match for John Hughes’s gorgeous teen study The Breakfast Club. Can you honestly say you’ve never air-guitar-ed along to those opening two chords? Or yelped along to Jim Kerr’s outrageous “Hey! Hey! Hey! Heeeey!” chant that immediately follows? Yet part of the song’s tremendous power is the way it keeps pulling away just as its excitement peaks: “Will you walk away?” murmurs Kerr as the song faux-fades, before its final climax. There are some truly great songs on this list, but none that strike at your emotional jugular quite the way “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” does-right from the get-go. Written by Michael Chen, Brent DiCrescenzo, Andrew Frisicano, Sophie Harris, Oliver Keens, James Manning, Tristan Parker, Amy Plitt, Joshua Rothkopf, Hank Shteamer, Matthew Singer, Steve Smith, Sarah Theeboom and Kate Wertheimer. And in order to keep it strictly ’80s, we limited the list only to songs actually made in the decade – so no ‘Stand By Me’ or ‘Day-O’, as much as we’d want to include them. Here, though, we present the ultimate, canonical, indisputable ranking of the most radical songs from ’80s movies. But what are the absolute best songs from ’80s movies? Everyone has their personal favorites: the ones that instantly conjure memories (or at least fantasies) of spraying on Aquanet, throwing on some spandex and heading to the multiplex in your Delorean. Suffice to say, an ’80s movie can’t be considered a true ’80s movie if the soundtrack isn’t banging. And shoot, don’t even get us started on Purple Rain. Or Michael J Fox skating through Hill Valley without Huey Lewis crooning about ‘The Power of Love’. Or Ghostbusters without Ray Parker Jr.’s theme song. But try to imagine any John Hughes film without the new wave hits that accompanied them. Sure, the 1960s has a handful of songs still used to signal ‘ the ’60s, maaaan ’, and the 1990s produced some classic soundtracks. No decade combined music and movies quite like the ’80s.
