Due in stores on December 18 — a week before Django Unchained hits movie theatres in the US (it releases January 17 in the UAE) — the soundtrack will contain additional cuts by John Legend and Anthony Hamilton, as well as an intriguing mash-up of James Brown’s The Payback and Untouchable by 2Pac.
What won’t be included is a new song that Frank Ocean recently told GQ he’d written for the movie. On Saturday Fuse published a statement from Tarantino in which the director said he couldn’t find a scene to use the tune, a “fantastic ballad that was truly lovely and poetic in every way.”
