It’s lights out and away they go for Ed Sheeran, ROSÉ of BLACKPINK, and several other stars, as Atlantic Records announced the full lineup for “F1: The Album” on Thursday, May 1.
In addition to the “Azizam” singer and K-pop star, the album will feature Tate McRae, RAYE, Burna Boy, Roddy Rich, Dom Dolla, Chris Stapleton, Tiësto, Sexyy Red, Myke Towers, Madison Beer, Peggy Gou, and others. The album is led by the Ryan Tedder-produced single “Lose My Mind” by Don Toliver featuring Doja Cat, which was released the day before the album announcement. The single includes a sample from Hans Zimmer’s “F1 Movie Theme.”
Directed by Joseph Kosinski of “Top Gun: Maverick,” the film “F1” stars Brad Pitt as retired racer Sonny Hayes, who returns to the track to help his former teammate Ruben Cervantes, played by Javier Bardem, save the struggling Formula 1 team Apex Grand Prix. The film will also feature Damson Idris as Joshua Pearce, a “hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace,” according to a description.
The companion album is produced by Kevin Weaver, a two-time Grammy winner known for overseeing soundtrack albums for “Barbie,” “Twisters,” “The Greatest Showman,” “Suicide Squad,” “Daisy Jones & The Six,” and “Birds of Prey.” Atlantic’s Brandon Davis and Joseph Khoury also contributed to the production of the “F1” album.
“F1” will be released in theaters on June 27, with the soundtrack launching the same day.
