New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Republic Records) REPUBLIC RECORDS and BRUSHFIRE RECORDS are proud to announce The Secret Life of Walter Mitty:
Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture soundtrack.
The album will be available in stores and through all digital retailers December 17, 2013 . Meanwhile, the film, starring Ben Stiller and Kristen Wiig , releases in theaters on Christmas day through 20 th Century Fox.
The soundtrack has a personal touch from its stars: Ben Stiller curated the entire tracklist, becoming deeply involved in the making of the record. Moreover, this is the first time Kristen Wiig has ever performed on a soundtrack. She punctuates a
David Bowie classic with her own flair on the "Space Oddity (Mitty Mix)" —a standout from the collection.
The soundtrack features a bevy of songs from the movie as well as some special new originals inspired by the story itself. Another centerpiece is Jose Gonzalez's emotional and enthralling "Stay Alive" . Penned by
Ryan Adams , it's as unique as it is unforgettable.
Elsewhere on the soundtrack, "
Dirty Paws" is an artfully catchy staple from Icelandic alternative folk impresarios Of Monsters and Men , while
Jack Johnson contributes his own fresh take on "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" alongside cuts from Bahamas ,
Grace Mitchell , Junip , and more. The tracklisting captures the adventurous spirit of the movie with its own distinct charm.
This is the latest in a string of chart-topping soundtracks from REPUBLIC RECORDS such as releases for the likes of Les Miserables , Pitch Perfect , The Hunger Games , and AMC's The Walking Dead .
