New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Sony
Music Masterworks proudly announces the release of GOTTI (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). The film stars John Travolta in the title role. Both the film and soundtrack are out today.
The album features the film's original score music by GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-platinum international music icon, business entrepreneur and motivational speaker Armando Christian Perez, aka Pitbull, and his long-time Grammy-winning producer
Jorge Gomez. The project marks Pitbull's first assignment scoring a motion picture soundtrack.
The soundtrack also includes three solo
Pitbull tracks, one of them being the single "AMORE" featuring Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter
Leona Lewis.
"Everything about
Pitbull - his style, creativity, and culture make his scoring of Gotti - the perfect marriage of the artist and the material," stated John Travolta.
"It's a true honor to be involved with this project and working with icon John Travolta on the legendary story of Gotti," said Pitbull. "By default, we were underdogs in our own right and found ways to survive against all odds."
Leona Lewis says about the soundtrack: "I love working with Pitbull. It's always so much fun and his energy is just infectious. This record was really interesting to put together as it was something new for me. Being a big movie fan, the fact that the song is in the GOTTI movie is so exciting."
ABOUT GOTTI:
John Travolta (Academy Award® Nominee) stars as the legendary mobster John Gotti who was head of the largest and most powerful crime organization in North America, the Gambino Family. His flamboyant style, charm and ruthless personae made him the most famous mobster in the 20th Century. The story, told through the eyes of his eldest son John Gotti Jr., delves into the past and explores Gotti's epic rise and fall in the mob. Gotti earned the name "
Teflon Don" by the media, whom he did not shy away from, due to the FBI's numerous unsuccessful attempts to convict him. Eventually he was sentenced to life in prison, and a young 24-year-old Gotti Jr. becomes the acting Boss of the Family. Gotti Jr. is also investigated and arrested by the FBI for his own connections to crime. Gotti Jr. ultimately rejects the legacy he was born into and walks away a "civilian."
The film is directed by
Kevin Connolly and stars John Travolta in the title role, alongside
Kelly Preston, Ella Bleu Travolta, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Stacy Keach, Chris Mulkey, Lydia Hull and Spencer Lofranco.
ABOUT PITBULL:

Dream and achieve international success. His relentless work ethic transformed him into a Grammy®-winning global superstar, business entrepreneur and motivational speaker. Landing # 1 hits in over 15 countries, 10 billion YouTube/VEVO views, 70 million single sales and 6 million album sales,

Britney Spears in the U.K. and

Whether it's his Voli 305 Vodka, currently in the process of becoming available nationally and has its own signature cocktails at multiple Sugar Factory American Brasserie locations, or the fragrance line "Pitbull," his influence has catapulted. His first Las
Vegas residency, "Time of Our Lives" at the AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, has now accomplished multiple consecutive runs with spring 2018 dates recently completed at the newly renamed Zappos Theater.
