NEW YORK, NY, Nov 03 (MARKET WIRE) --
Chop Shop Records and Atlantic Records have announced the release of
"TWILIGHT -- ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK," the musical companion
to the upcoming Summit Entertainment film. Due in stores and online
tomorrow, Tuesday, November 4th, the entire album features songs that
will appear in the movie, highlighted by Paramore's brand new single,
"Decode." "TWILIGHT" is slated to open in theatres nationwide on November
21st.
Beginning today, MTV will premiere the video companion for Paramore's
"Decode." Directed by Shane Drake, the video will air all day on MTV,
MTV2, mtvU, MTV.com, and MTV2.com. On Tuesday, November 4th, MTV's "TRL"
will officially premiere the video. "Decode" is also flying up the radio
charts, currently #24 on the Alternative chart and already ranking at #15
in audience with 2.9 million.
In addition to a second new song from Paramore called "I Caught Myself,"
the soundtrack features tracks from Muse, Linkin Park, Collective Soul,
and new songs from Perry Farrell and MUTEMATH. As if that weren't enough,
"TWILIGHT" star Rob Pattinson (who plays Edward Cullen) has contributed an
original song, "Never Think" -- his first-ever released recording. The
film's score was composed by Carter Burwell, and the soundtrack also
includes his "Bella's Lullaby," a heartfelt song that Edward composes for
Bella Swan (played by Kristin Stewart) in the film.
"TWILIGHT" fans will be delighted with some of the many bonuses the
soundtrack has to offer. The physical version of the soundtrack will
feature a CD booklet that folds out into a Twilight poster, which will
randomly reveal one of four images -- Edward, Bella, James, or Edward and
Bella together. Even more, "TWILIGHT" fans who purchase advance tickets
from either www.movietickets.com or www.fandango.com will receive a
complimentary download of "Bella's Lullaby (Remix)," redeemable in the
iTunes store.
On November 18th, Paramore will perform and sign autographs at the Hot
Topic Lost Show, held at the Hollywood & Highland Hot Topic store in Los
Angeles. Beginning Tuesday, November 4th, fans that purchase the exclusive
Paramore t-shirt from Hot Topic will receive a wristband that secures
preferred access to the performance as well as a guaranteed opportunity to
meet the band following the concert. Visit www.hottopic.com for more
