Twelve days. Today: the music you can own.
Confirmed
On September 17 Rockstar announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album: 34 original songs across genres, arriving with the game on November 19. The first six tracks are already out, and you can pre-save it through Rockstar's site.
One of them is "Flower in a Hurricane" by Justice with Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, the song from the launch trailer. Justice are also the game's score composers.
Three different things
It is easy to mix these up, so here is the short version:
- The Album: 34 original songs, November 19.
- The radio: six stations previewed so far, each with its own catalogue. See Thursday's piece on the six stations.
- The Original Score by Justice: 30 tracks, December 11, on streaming, CD and vinyl. Our story on "Pusher" and the score album has the details.
Our guess
GTA soundtracks used to be a box set of the radio. Splitting original songs, licensed radio and a composed score into three releases is how film soundtracks work. It suggests Rockstar thinks of the music as a product of its own, not a by-product of the game.
Full details on The Album. Tomorrow: the swamp.
