Gold-Hatted Gatsby



"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is arguably one of the best American novels of the 20th Century. It takes place during the roaring twenties following narrator Nick Carraway. Nick is a bond salesman from the midwest who moves to Long Island and ends up living next to millionaire party thrower Jay Gatsby. Carraway's second cousin Daisy is married to Tom Buchanan, a man of inherited wealth. After a night at one of Gatsby's super soirees the stories of these characters intertwine for an emotional tale of glamour, decadence, infidelity and poetic justice. The novel has inspired for five film adaptions including this year's by Baz Luhrmann. Hip-hop icon Jay-Z join the project as executive producer of the film's soundtrack, teaming up with a star-studded lineup with big names such as his wife, Beyonce and Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas. There have been songs released as a teaser for its release and a standout track is "Young and Beautiful by native New Yorker Lana Del Rey.The soundtrack is slated to be release on May 6th and will be available for digital download on iTunes.
