Danger Mouse, Run the Jewels & Big Boi share Baby Driver track
Chase Me comes from the soundtrack to the new film from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright
Groundbreaking producer Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse, has joined forces with hip-hop duo Run the Jewels and Big Boi – one half of Outkast – on a brand new track, entitled Chase Me. The song is taken from the Baby Driver soundtrack, released on 23 Jun via Danger Mouse's 30th Century Records label. Listen to the track in the player below.
In Wright's new film, his first since 2013's The World's End, Ansel Elgort stars as a baby-faced getaway driver who’s looking to leave his life of crime behind after falling for a waitress he meets at an LA diner, played by Lily James. The cast includes Jon Bernthal, Eiza González, Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx, and Kevin Spacey as the head of a bank robbing crew.
Unveiling the film at SxSW, Wright confirmed the importance of music to Baby Driver's feel and development. “I was just listening through my record collection and I’d envision scenes,” he said after the screening, reported Deadline. “I wouldn’t write scenes until I found the right track.”
Music From the Motion Picture Baby Driver is out on 23 Jun; Baby Driver is out in cinemas on 28 Jun.
