We already posted the details on the “Cadillac Records” soundtrack, it comes out December 2 via Columbia records and features R&B Chess Records classics as sung by Beyoncé, Nas, Mos Def, Jeffrey Wright, Raphael Saadiq and Beyonce’s younger sister Solange, right?
Sorta, there’s more. Apparently, there’s also going to be deluxe double-disc edition offered with new artwork (pictured) that features more songs, plus an appearance by Q-Tip, Buddy Guy and the film’s score composer, Terrence Blanchard (Spike Lee’s constant music man).
Beyoncé plays R&B songstress Etta James in the film, Jeffrey Wright plays Muddy Waters and rapper Mos Def plays Chuck Berry among others (photos of all of them here).
“I realized that Etta James was so unapologetic, bold and strong that playing her was a big risk for me,” Beyonce recently told Billboard. “It gave me the confidence and the push to challenge myself a little more with my music.”
Here’s the tracklist to Disc 2. The tracklist to disc 1 is here plus more details on the film, its trailer and synopsis. Also, much like the ‘Benjamin Button’ CD artwork, expect this new ‘Cadillac’ CD artwork to resemble the final poster for the film.
