Timothée Chalamet releases "A Complete Unknown"

Today, Columbia Records and Searchlight Pictures officially announce the release of A Complete Unknown (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Album on December 25, 2024.

The record will arrive in tandem with Academy Award nominee James Mangold’s much-anticipated A Complete Unknown, starring Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan, opening in theaters everywhere the same day. The cast also includes three-time Academy Award nominee Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, and Scoot McNairy.

Columbia Records unveils the first two singles from the Soundtrack—“Girl From The North Country” and “Like A Rolling Stone”—on all digital streaming platforms today.

On “Girl From The North Country” the film’s stars Chalamet (Bob Dylan) and Barbaro (Joan Baez) duet on the 1963 classic by Dylan—later re-cut as a 1969 collaboration with Johnny Cash. Musically, “Girl From The North Country” highlights the palpable chemistry between Chalamet and Barbaro. Meanwhile, Chalamet delivers a raw and faithful rendition of one of Dylan’s signature songs “Like A Rolling Stone.”

Regarding the soundtrack, Mangold commented, “To me, there was only one way to make this film — to cast actors that are profoundly talented, ambitious (and brave enough!) to inhabit the whole of the artists they would portray. And in order to inhabit that world those artists had to be able to sing the songs.. We were never out to replace the power, beauty and majesty of what exists, but rather, to celebrate it.”

Bound to be a collector’s item, a limited-edition Vinyl version of the Soundtrack will land on shelves and D2C in late January 2025. Pre-order HERE.

Stay tuned for more music from A Complete Unknown (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) and news very soon.
