Your support makes all the difference.Now that Ghostbusters' critical reviews have calmed nerves and assured fans they're in for a treat; it's now become a lot less surprising that all the latest artists of the moment are wanting a piece of this rebooted cake.
Though the official new anthem, by Fall Out Boy ft. Missy Elliot, and it's over-strained guitars are frankly a little cringeworthy - good news, it barely features in the film - there are plenty of other selections on the film's soundtrack to get extremely excited about.
The already-released track, Elle King's "Good Girls", provides some lively rockabilly vibes to the game. Elsewhere, the likes of G-Eazy ft. Jeremih, 5 Seconds of Summer, Pentatonix, WALK THE MOON, and Wolf Alice are all set to feature.
Yet, there's one big name that's really been amping up the anticipation for the film's soundtrack; the ex-One Directioner himself, Zayn, formerly of Malik. His track for the album, 'wHo', has been given a brief snippet online.
It's not much; yet, it's already pretty clear Malik's playing fast-and-loose with film's original theme. He's picked up on the track's famous line 'Who you gonna call?" and, in typical Zayn style, turned it into an utterly smooth and sensual ballad.
Really, you're not quite sure here whether said person's calling because of a paranormal infestation, or because they're on the hunt for a booty call. Oh, Zayn.
