Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's motion picture Django Unchained. It was originally released on December 18, 2012. The soundtrack uses a variety of music genres, relying heavily on spaghetti western soundtrack.

Tracks composed for the film are "100 Black Coffins" by Rick Ross and produced by and featuring Jamie Foxx, "Who Did That To You?" by John Legend, "Freedom" by Anthony Hamilton and Elayna Boynton, "Ancora Qui" by Ennio Morricone and Elisa.

Personnel

Ennio Morricone's reaction

Despite the fact that the soundtrack was acclaimed by critics,[23] Ennio Morricone, who composed a brand new song for Django Unchained, stated that Tarantino used the music “without coherence” and he "wouldn’t like to work with him again, on anything".[24] That was the first collaboration between the Italian composer and the American filmmaker, even though Tarantino had used Morricone's music in Kill Bill, Death Proof, and Inglourious Basterds. Ennio Morricone quickly released a statement clarifying that his remarks were taken out of context, [25] Morricone said that he has "great respect for Tarantino" and that he is "glad he chooses my music"[26] Morricone also said that because Tarantino chooses his music "it is a sign of artistic brotherhood" [27][28]
