One of the most well-known video games in the world, EA Sports FC 24, has a new soundtrack that features four South African musicians. The recently released soundtrack, which is officially available on Spotify, features Major League DJz, Zakes Bantwini, Kasango, and the late Brenda Fassie.
Major League DJz’s new remake of Brenda Fassie’s “Vuli Ndlela” (now titled “Mamgobhozi”) will be included along with Zakes Bantwini and Kasango’s “Osama”. Bantwini and Kasango’s remix which features Claptone was only released recently. “Bringing you the sounds of The World’s Game,” shared the company on their Instagram.
“Introducing the @EASPORTSFC 24 Soundtrack, now playing on @Spotify. Pre-order now and play #FC24 early.”
The game’s official soundtrack features music by more than 100 artists from more than 30 nations. The track list, which is headlined by Bas and J. Cole’s most recent collaboration, “Passport Bros,” features a significant amount of electronic music and hip-hop.
Songs by artists, Stormzy, Jack Harlow, J. Cole, Ternion Sound, Sam Gellaitry, Kaleena Zanders, and The Rolling Stones are also included. The newest football video game marks the beginning of the updated EA Sports FC series following the recent dissolution of the long-standing agreement with FIFA.
EA Sports FC 24, which will be released on September 29, 2023 will offer the Ultimate Edition early access on September 22, 2023. “The premiere of EA Sports FC 24 delivers a definitive global soundtrack that builds on innovation and authenticity like never before,” said EA’s President of Music, Steve Schnur, in a statement.
“We’ve curated a player experience that celebrates diversity and discovery via new music and artists that defies genres, erases borders, creates football culture, and powers football life. It’s the next chapter in The World’s Game, set to music like never before.”
