Baby Driver has already made more money in America than any of director Edgar Wright’s previous films. Whether that speaks more to the greatness of Baby Driver or to how criminally overlooked Wright has been here in the States, it’s great to see Wright gaining some well-deserved recognition from us dumb colonials.
But it’s not just butts in seats that’s making Baby Driver a success, it’s also earbuds in ears. It makes sense that a film built around its soundtrack would have exceptional music, and Baby Driver certainly delivers in that regard. The rocking soundtrack, stuffed with delicious ear worms from almost every musical genre and spanning multiple decades, was released last week on award-winning producer and artist Danger Mouse’s Columbia Records imprint 30th Century Records. Music aficionados quickly took notice, and the film’s soundtrack has leapt to the #1 slot on iTunes.
