The details of the soundtrack album for Spike Lee’s crime thriller Highest 2 Lowest have been announced. The album curated by Lee features the music from the film, including Aiyana-Lee’s title song (which has already been released as a digital single today), as well as new songs by ASAP Rocky (who also stars in the movie) and Jensen McRae. Also included are selections of Howard Drossin’s original score from the film, as well as original tracks by Scotland’s piano outfit Fergus McCreadie Trio, which blend traditional Scottish folk music with contemporary jazz. The soundtrack will released digitally on August 15 by A24 Music and will be available to stream/download Amazon and any other major digital music services.
