The John Wick: Chapter 4 soundtrack is a mix of Edm, classical music, and rock n' roll covers that perfectly compliment the action. The soundtrack to John Wick 4 is available on all reputable streaming platforms, such as Spotify and Apple Music. John Wick 4 star Rina Sawayama created an exclusive track for the film.

The John Wick: Chapter 4 soundtrack is full of great songs, scoring the visceral, trigger-happy action with thumping Edm tracks and instantly recognizable rock ‘n’ roll covers. With a blood-drenched, globetrotting adventure involving exploding bullets, dueling pistols, and lots and lots of stairs, John Wick: Chapter 4 is even bigger, bolder, and more brutal than any of its predecessors. Putting together the John Wick 4 soundtrack is a unique musical challenge, because the music has to match the intensity of the action on-screen.

Intense beats have always been crucial to bringing the John Wick franchise...

The John Wick franchise continues to raise the bar, with Chapter 4 receiving critical acclaim and commercial success. The original motion picture soundtrack for John Wick: Chapter 4 is being released on vinyl, featuring a stunning "Transparent Orange" coloring and artwork from the film. The vinyl collection includes 35 tracks, composed by Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard, and also features guest artists such as Rina Sawayama, Lola Colette, and White Reaper.

By most accounts, John Wick: Chapter 4 was a new high for the franchise that began nearly a decade ago. Since the first film's release, the John Wick franchise has always competed with itself, with each new film working to raise the high bar set by its predecessor. John Wick: Chapter 4 upped the ante yet again, landing in the 90% range for both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as outperforming its predecessors at the box office by a wide margin.

One of the many pleasures of “John Wick: Chapter Four” is how it seamlessly integrates camera movement, editing, and action choreography with music — no surprise given that director Chad Stahelski has acknowledged “Singin’ in the Rain” and Bob Fosse as influences. The propulsive score by Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard weaves in and out of needle drops by Le Castle Vania, Manon Hollander, and Lola Colette, whose cover of Martha and the Vandellas’ “Nowhere to Run” ties “John Wick: Chapter 4” to one of its primary sources of inspiration, Walter Hill’s “The Warriors.” The balance between score and source music mirrors and enhances the careful rhythms established by Stahelski’s staging and structuring of the set pieces, and it was one of the most enjoyable aspects of editor Nathan Orloff’s job.

“I had a lot of fun putting music to this,” Orloff told IndieWire, noting that the...

Out for blood doesn’t even begin to cover Rina Sawayama’s revenge plot on the new single “Eye for an Eye.” The song will appear on the upcoming motion picture soundtrack for John Wick: Chapter 4, out March 24, which finds the singer making her big screen debut as Akira alongside the film’s leading man Keanu Reeves.

“You’ve taken everything I love from me/Now, it’s time I pay the price,” Sawayama warns on the opening verse, delivered like a true loner with nothing left to lose.

Faced with the biggest, craziest Keanu Reeves kill-fest yet in “John Wick 4,” composer Tyler Bates upped the musical ante the only way possible: He added an orchestra to the essential “John Wick” palette of raw, headbanging guitars, drums and synths.

Bates – also known for his “Guardian of the Galaxy” scores – has collaborated with fellow composer Joel J. Richard on all of the “John Wick” music since the first film opened in 2014. “We share some very similar taste, and as friends, we’re just already on a subconscious wavelength,” says Bates.

“If you listen to the four scores, they’ve definitely grown as the scope of the films has. Not in the way that it’s now an orchestra and it’s larger; it’s just that the color palette has continued to develop throughout, still maintaining the fun, hybrid-rock foundation to the score.”

Director Chad Stahelski is “a rocker,...

Plot: The price on John Wick’s head has gone way up. Mr. Wick, however, has a plan to finally free himself from the High Table. Will he succeed with hired guns waiting around every corner?

Review: John Wick has been going through some things. After Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the hitman had a price on his head. That’s what happens when you kill High Table crime lord Santino D’Antonio. If that wasn’t enough, his old friend Winstone (Ian McShane) shot him at the end of the previous film. The price has increased as we enter the thrilling new ground explored in John Wick: Chapter 4. Keanu Reeves and franchise regulars Laurence Fishburne, Lance Reddick, and Ian McShane are back. The fourth installment is directed by Chad Stahelski once again. And this wild chapter is written by Shay Hatten (who also co-wrote Parabellum) and Michael Finch. And...

The soundtrack albums to Chad Stahelski's John Wick trilogy with scores by Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard, have been released for the first time as 2Lp sets in gatefold jackets, exclusively from Var&#232se Sarabande Records and Music.Film Recordings. The vinyl editions are available at VareseSarabande.com and other retailers.

"While his fight, stunt, and weapon work is second to none, Chad [Stahelski] embraces original music with equal passion - setting the table for Joel Richard and I to experiment and create a distinct "sound" for the John Wick world. Five years ago, we cranked "Killing Strangers" at concert volume in my studio. And now John Wick is a trilogy. Working with Chad has been a truly amazing experience." - Tyler Bates.

“If you want peace, prepare for war”, the title of this latest outing for Keanu Reeve’s un-killable hitman John Wick is taken from this very adage and it is most appropriate. As the “Baba Yaga” is back and in his greatest fight yet. When retired, recently widowed, master assassin John Wick opened the floodgates of wrath upon those who stole his car and brutally killed his puppy (his last hope at a loving companion in a time of grief and final gift from his late wife), who would ever have thought we would get where we are now. Not only have the films led a renaissance and long-overdue appreciation of star Keanu Reeves, they have secured themselves a place in history, as the best action franchise in decades and in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, director Chad Stahelski does the seemingly impossible by raising the bar.

Believe the hype. This...

Fans of the John Wick series, including this one!, received this text yesterday and a woo-hoo was heard around the globe. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum took in an astounding $93 million worldwide, including $57 million from North American ticket sales.

Chad Stahelski's John Wick 3: Parabellum starring Keanu Reeves shoots its way through a theater near you this May. And today we have word that the third entry in the series is tracking to snag a killer $30 - 40 million during its opening weekend. Some of the pros the film has going for it are the fact that the franchise has proven incredibly popular, and there is currently a general absence of action films targeting adult males around this time of year. Plus the reactions to this movie's early trailers have been very enthusiastic, and it should do fine against Avengers: Endgame with a considerable three-week distance, especially with Memorial Day landing on its second weekend. The only con the movie really has going for it is the fact that franchises can be susceptible to diminished returns as they go on. Will this be the case for this new entry?...

In this next chapter following the 2014 hit, legendary hit man John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins’ guild.

After unleashing mayhem on the criminals who killed his dog, retired super assassin John Wick retrieves his beloved 1969 Mustang from the Russian mobsters who stole it, only to be pursued in a spectacular high-speed car chase through crowded New York City streets.

John Wick 2 story

Lionsgate has released this synopsis for the film.

It’s Steve McQueen reborn ala Bullitt. Keanu Reeves is back in the over-the-top, mayhem packed trailer for directors David Leitch & Chad Stahelski’s John Wick. Multiple viewings are required.

This is going to be awesome!!

An ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him. With New York City as his bullet-riddled playground, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is a fresh and stylized take on the “assassin genre”. Willem Dafoe, Ian McShane, Adrianne Palicki, Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, Lance Reddick, Dean Winters and John Leguizamo also star.

The film’s score is from Joel Richard and Tyler Bates (Guardians Of The Galaxy). During my interview with him over the summer, Bates said, “I just finished on a movie with Keanu Reeves and Willem Dafoe called John Wick. That was very cool. As with Guardians, there are songs interspersed in this film as well. There...

Hollywood Records and Marvel are releasing three albums from Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy on Tuesday, July 29.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Deluxe soundtrack features classic 1970s songs from the film, plus score by composer Tyler Bates (“Watchmen,” “Slither,” “Dawn of the Dead”). Music plays a major role in Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy as the great songs featured in the film are part of the storyline in a unique way.

Explaining how the songs come to play in the story, director James Gunn says, “One of the main story points in the movie is that Quill has this compilation tape [Awesome Mix #1] that he got from his mother before she died that she made for him. It was of songs that she loved, all songs from the 1970s, and that’s the only thing he has left of his mother and that’s the only thing he has left of his home on Earth.
