production
For the music for the film The Neon Demon , Refn worked for the third time with the composer Cliff Martinez . The soundtrack also includes some pop songs by other composers. The power ballad Waving Goodbye was sung by the Australian singer-songwriter Sia , who she recorded with the musician Diplo . The song Mine is by Julian Winding , the singer and songwriter of the Danish indie band Sweet Tempest , the director's nephew and son of the actress Brigitte Nielsen . Winding had already written and sung the title Disconnected in the soundtrack of Refn's last film Only God Forgives .
publication
The soundtrack for the film consists of 23 pieces and was released in digital version and on CD on June 24, 2016. On July 8, 2016, the soundtrack was also released on vinyl.
reception
Randall Colburn of Consequence of Sound describes Cliff Martinez's music as eerie, dazzling and more melodic than that of the previous films. Colburn sees a distinct influence from John Carpenter's Lost Themes , there is something wonderfully intergalactic in Martinez's music. Much of the music, according to Colburn, is pushed too much into the foreground instead of underlining the film. Starting with the scary theme song, through enjoyable 80s pop songs to the swinging madness in the song Runaway , the music presents itself more as an independent work than as a cinematic accompaniment. The soundtrack was named one of the best soundtracks in IndieWire's 2016 Critics Poll , and Scott Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter considers the score, and especially the song Waving Goodbye sung by Sia, to be Oscar-worthy. At the Cannes Film Festival in February 2016, Cliff Martinez was honored for his work as best film composer. In December 2016, Martinez's soundtrack was included in the list of candidates (longlist) from which the members of the Academy selected the official nominations as a candidate for the 2017 Academy Awards in the category Best Film Music . The song Waving Goodbye on the soundtrack and sung by Sia was included in the longlist for Best Movie Song . In October 2016, Martinez was nominated for Best Score for his work in the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards . Martinez was recognized for Best Soundtrack at the BloodGuts UK Horror Awards 2016 . In February 2017 Martinez received a nomination in the category Best Music for a fantasy film, science fiction film or horror film as part of the International Film Music Critics Association Awards 2016 . At the International Cinephile Society Awards 2017, Martinez was recognized for his work as runner-up.
