NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire - November 03, 2008) - Chop Shop Records and Atlantic Records have announced the release of “TWILIGHT — ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK,” the musical companion to the upcoming Summit Entertainment film. Due in stores and online tomorrow, Tuesday, November 4th, the entire album features songs that will appear in the movie, highlighted by Paramore’s brand new single, “Decode.” “TWILIGHT” is slated to open in theatres nationwide on November 21st.
Beginning today, MTV will premiere the video companion for Paramore’s “Decode.” Directed by Shane Drake, the video will air all day on MTV, MTV2, mtvU, MTV.com, and MTV2.com. On Tuesday, November 4th, MTV’s “TRL” will officially premiere the video. “Decode” is also flying up the radio charts, currently #24 on the Alternative chart and already ranking at #15 in audience with 2.9 million.
In addition to a second new song from Paramore called “I Caught Myself,” the soundtrack features tracks from Muse, Linkin Park, Collective Soul, and new songs from Perry Farrell and MUTEMATH. As if that weren’t enough, “TWILIGHT” star Rob Pattinson (who plays Edward Cullen) has contributed an original song, “Never Think” — his first-ever released recording. The film’s score was composed by Carter Burwell, and the soundtrack also includes his “Bella’s Lullaby,” a heartfelt song that Edward composes for Bella Swan (played by Kristin Stewart) in the film.
“TWILIGHT” fans will be delighted with some of the many bonuses the soundtrack has to offer. The physical version of the soundtrack will feature a CD booklet that folds out into a Twilight poster, which will randomly reveal one of four images — Edward, Bella, James, or Edward and Bella together.
