Grand Theft Auto VI is shaping up to be an exceptionally expansive game, and its soundtrack is set to be equally monumental. In addition to Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, a star-studded 34-track companion collection featuring Cardi B, Travis Scott, Keith Richards, Yung Lean, Future, and PinkPantheress, there is also a distinct 50-track Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score album crafted by the French electronic duo Justice.
“The scope of the game is so large geographically and thematically that it was clear from the beginning the music would also have to be very broad in terms of emotions, genres, and textures,” Justice’s Xavier de Rosnay says. “We were given the freedom to explore as many things as we needed to, musically speaking.”
We’ve already heard Justice’s synth-rock anthem featuring Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard, titled “Flower In A Hurricane,” which channels a Dire Straits-inspired vibe and is slated to appear on both GTA VI albums. (It’s also notable for debuting at #62 on the Billboard charts, marking King Gizzard’s first Hot 100 appearance). And now we’re getting “Pusher,” a seven-minute, ominously pulsating collaboration between Justice and French dance innovator Gesaffelstein that seems primed to roar while cruising through Miami — or, in the game’s universe, Vice City — as crimes unfold. Hear it below.
Grand Theft Auto VI is set to release on 11/19, and Justice’s Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score album will drop on 12/11 through Take-Two Interactive/Ed Banger/Because Music.
