Grammy Award – Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media, 2017 Academy Award – Original Score, 2017 Academy Award – Original Song, 2017 - City Of Stars "... magical music ... what many consider a new Hollywood classic (and major Oscar contender) ... Hurwitz’s often playful score was recorded with a 90-piece orchestra on the same scoring stage where Singin' in the Rain and many other great MGM musicals were recorded ..." - Billboard "... a musical romance that rushes from first love to heartache via show tunes, love songs and free jazz ... an unapologetically romantic homage to classic movie musicals ... Chazelle creates musical numbers for the pair of them and Gosling and Stone carry these off with delicacy and charm, despite or because of the fact that they are not real singers ... Stone fits the part beautifully: something in the hesitancy and even frailty of her singing voice is just right ..." - The Guardian Racking up record-breaking awards and nominations around the world, including multiple Golden Globe and Academy Award victories, La La Land from writer and director Damien Chazelle (Whiplash) stars Ryan Gosling as a Los Angeles jazz pianist who falls in love with an actress portrayed by Emma Stone. This companion album to the soundtrack contains the original score, composed and arranged by Justin Hurwitz and performed by a 90-piece orchestra, as well as the Academy Award-winning song City Of Stars from the soundtrack featuring Gosling and Stone. "I was just composing it from an emotional place and thinking about the tone. I would say the tone is hopeful, but melancholy at the same time ... you have these great moments and then you have these less great moments in life and in Los Angeles and we see it happen in the story." - Justin Hurwitz
