The Nice Guys is a nostalgic detective epic, set against the neon & gritty backdrop of 1970s Los Angeles. The setup is slick – a private eye investigating the apparent suicide of a fading porn star – but that’s just cinematic bait. The stakes quickly escalate to tricky, tantalizing places – political conspiracy, mob warfare – like only writer/director Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Iron Man 3) can conceive. His trademarks resound – trigger-quick wit, bruising action and complicated characters.

And with The Nice Guys, in particular – music becomes a whole other character in the film, drenching the audience in an orgy of sexy, smooth, jangly, trumpeting, rhythmic atmosphere.

This isn’t just a generic assembly of 70’s soundalikes. This soundtrack is the real deal, rallying 15 legendary songs to create an era-setting super album. The track listing is superb – Bee Gees, The Temptations, Kiss, Kool & The Gang, Earth, Wind & Fire, etc. etc. etc.

Not all soundtracks are created equal.

The Nice Guys album is a quintessential film soundtrack – destined to be minted on sweet, sweet wax.
