The Great Gatsby's soundtrack is shaping up to be a classic, just like the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel that serves as its source material. The first single, "Over the Love," was a soulful ballad by Florence + The Machine, sang from the perspective of Daisy.
The second single is from another heavy-hitting songstress, Lana Del Rey, with "Young and Beautiful." In a desperate plea, Del Rey croons with her heart on her sleeve, "Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?" over climaxing orchestra strings. Her spine-tingling and vulnerable tone serve an array of insecurities in the record, possibly from Daisy's perspective as well. Jay-Z is producing the album, which features more award-winning artists, including Beyonce and Andre 3000's rendition of Amy Winehouse's, "Back to Black," will.i.am, Gotye and more.
