Baby Driver (Original Soundtrack)

Baby Driver (Music from the Motion Picture) (2017) is a dynamic, meticulously curated soundtrack that serves as the heartbeat of Edgar Wright’s high-octane crime drama. Composing a “car‑chase musical,” Wright and composer Steven Price synchronize action sequences to an eclectic mix of 44 tracks—rock, soul, jazz, funk, pop, and punk—ranging from classic acts like Queen (“Brighton Rock”) and The Beach Boys (“Let’s Go Away for Awhile”) to modern contributions like Danger Mouse’s original “Chase Me” featuring Run the Jewels and Big Boi, and Kid Koala’s “Was He Slow?”  .

Each song is seamlessly integrated into the film’s rhythm, often driving the editing and on-screen movement—most memorably in the opening bank-robbery sequence set to The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s “Bellbottoms”  . Baby’s severe tinnitus motivates his reliance on music, making every track both a coping mechanism and a narrative device
