Since the soundtrack was first introduced in 1997, it has become a cultural moment in the music calendar and has given a platform to many upcoming artists whose careers have taken off after featuring. Continuing the momentum from last year’s soundtrack that explored a wealth of international artists, FC 25’s playlist spotlights an eclectic range of genres including Elyanna’s experimental Arabic-Latin pop fusion; South African Moonchild Sanelly’s ‘future ghetto funk’; and Afro-Colombian group Kombilesa Mi’s traditional Palanque music and urban rap synthesis.
The track list also showcases a range of international tastemakers, from Disclosure and Ice Spice to Kasabian, in addition to superstar artists including two-time Oscar-winner Billie Eilish; Prince of Reggaeton J Balvin; British super producer Fred again..; Charli xcx, whose critically-acclaimed album ‘Brat’ inspired a cultural personality trend this summer; up and coming Japanese drill rapper JUMADIBA; unparalleled Afrobeat artist Obongjayar; Spanish all-female rockers Hinds; and celebrated jungle revivalist Nia Archives. A brand-new song from FC-superfan Polish rapper MATA, who featured EA SPORTS FC in his music video, will also be on the soundtrack.
“FC 25 is a global celebration of new music that erases borders, embraces multiple genres, and delivers several surprises,” said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive and President of Music for Electronic Arts. “The EA Music team has spent nearly a year curating an epic soundtrack that will define the sound of the coming season and elevate the spirit of the game like never before.”
The FC 25 soundtrack includes several unreleased songs anticipated to drop later this year, including a track by Glastonbury headliners and the sixth most awarded band ever, Coldplay.
