It’s rare that we give more than a passing thought to a movie’s soundtrack, but The Great Gatsby‘s soundtrack is so beefy we thought we’d share its track list.

We’d already heard that the Jay-Z curated soundtrack would feature Beyoncé and André 3000 covering Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black,” but the full list is even crazier. Lana Del Rey’s new song “Young and Beautiful” is on the list, a song she worked with the movie’s director Baz Luhrmann to write. Jack White’s got a cover of U2’s “Love is Blindness,” Florence + the Machine’s “Over the Love” stands out and Roxy Music’s Bryan Ferry brings things full circle, covering Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” with Emeli Sandé and Jay-Z’s in on the fun with his new song, “$100 Bill.”

Sure, you’ll have to sit through likely duds by will.i.am, and we doubt even Q-Tip can rescue a Fergie track, but other solid artists like The xx are there to keep the consistency pretty high.

The Great Gatsby soundtrack is out on May 6th with the movie hitting screens a few days later on the 10th. Check out its new trailer above to get a quick taste of a few new songs. [via Pitchfork]
