Ahead of Madden 22's release on August 20, Electronic Arts has collaborated with Interscope to create the first-ever Madden NFL Album. Featuring 11 exclusive songs from artists such as Jack Harlow, Swae Lee, Tierra Whack, and more, the album is now available on most streaming platforms.
Madden soundtracks are always popular and filled with the latest hits – so it's a bit surprising it took this long to turn that soundtrack into an official album. EA and Interscope said artists included on the album were chosen "because of their love of football and Madden," with Interscope working directly with artists to create custom songs made exclusively for the soundtrack.
“Over the past decades, Madden NFL has become a platform for fans to discover new music, launching new stars and establishing trends that have changed the way players play the game and how they experience NFL football itself,” Steve Schnur, President of EA Music, said. “Working with Interscope, one of the most forward-thinking, risk-taking labels in the industry, we’ve created a cohesive, innovative soundtrack that connects gaming, football, and music culture for the next generation.”
The full album includes these 11 new songs:
- Belly & Shenseea “How I’m Feelin”
- Morray “Mime”
- Swae Lee ft. Jack Harlow “Ball Is Life”
- Moneybagg Yo ft. Tripstar “Blitz”
- Tierra Whack “8”
- YSB Tril “Count Me In”
- BRS Kash “Oh No (Madden Version)”
- 42 Dugg “Down Ready Set”
- JID “Ambassel”
- Tank and The Bangas “Back In A Minute”
- Sally Sossa “Number One”
“I’ve had a long relationship with EA SPORTS and I’m excited to release my new song ‘Ball Is Life’ with Jack Harlow on The Madden NFL 22 Soundtrack,” said hip hop artist Swae Lee. Their track, Ball Is Life, is among the 11 you'll find on the Madden NFL Album.
Meanwhile, the official soundtrack for Madden 22 includes over 65 songs, including music from Killer Mike, Leikeli47, Drake, J.Cole, and more.
You can find the exclusive album and the full Madden 22 soundtrack on Spotify.
