The Wicked Die Young

The Wicked Die Young is a music album that was released in 2017 as a companion piece to the movie The Neon Demon directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. In an interview with FACT in 2015, Refn explained why integrating music into moving image is so important for him. "Even when I shoot films I play music on set, in between takes", he said. "It helps you convey emotion better for actors - and brings people to a place of being that helps their performance."

The album contains exclusive tracks from Drive artists Electric Youth as well as the Neon Demon composer (and long-time score of other Nicolas Winding Refn films) Martinez, plus Refn's nephew, Julian Winding, who also had an electronic number on the soundtrack. The Wicked Die Young also has a number of works from Suicide, Giorgio Moroder, Pino Donaggio, Lynsey de Paul, Dionne Warwick and Sparks, among others.
