The Great Gatsby - Fallinlove2nite

So I finally watched this movie and how much you want yo bet fallinlove was written for this movie?

I imagine many of the other "prince" songs may have been as well

Oh... And Jay Z's music in this movie sucked... Did not fit at all

Yeah I guess I can kinda see that. Not sure that this would fit much better than the Jay Z stuff though. Baz Luhrmann's usual trick of appropriating music from the modern era to make the period more relatable didn't work nearly as well in Gatsby IMO. Was Prince supposed to do the whole soundtrack or just one song? Could have been interesting to see what he came up with. Regardless, the Lana Del Ray song was much better than Fallinlove2nite, thank god that was in there instead razz.

I was thinking maybe Breakdown would have been for that soundtrack, too bad it never happened after much advertising. Somewhat similar artwork

I think a person from his current horn section already commented that the horns were recorded just a few months ago. If it's Hannah's husband that's done the synths and the beat then it can't be that old.

I heard he was supposed to do a song or songs. Pretty much agree with everything you said. Including the Del Ray song being far superior
