Few filmmakers working today have made better use of jukebox soundtracks than Edgar Wright – and so it’s no surprise that the Baby Driver director’s latest flick is once again packed with a great assortment of hits.
Last Night in Soho includes tracks from beloved ’60s artists ranging from Cilla Black and Sandie Shaw to The Kinks and The Searchers, as lead character Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) finds herself unexpectedly whisked back to a different era.
Wright has explained that he listened to a lot of music from the period when he was crafting the movie, and indeed co-writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns recently revealed to RadioTimes.com that he sent her a playlist almost identical to the eventual soundtrack in the early stages of the writing process.
“He [Wright] sent me the playlist before I’d even turned up in the office and it was the exact same playlist in the same order that’s in the movie – apart from Downtown,” she said.
“We added that scene later, but that was the only addition to that playlist. And we used to get the next door neighbours banging on the wall and begging us to stop playing Puppet on a String!”
Read on to see the playlist in full, including tracks from Dusty Springfield, The Who and The Walker Brothers.
