It's not called murder. It's called retirement.

Mondo, in partnership with ASG and Def Jam Recordings, is proud to announce the premiere vinyl release of the highly anticipated anime series BLADE RUNNER: BLACK LOTUS soundtrack featuring fifteen original tracks from X Ambassadors, Iann Dior, 070 Shake, Alessia Cara, G-Eazy, Tori Kelly, Alesso & Danna Paola, A7S, Daya, Kiana Lede and many more. In addition, the package features exclusive artwork by Greg Ruth, and its neon disc is housed inside a tri-fold gatefold sleeve finished with hot foil stamping. We are insanely excited to be diving into a brand new chapter of the Blade Runner story, set in 2032 - 13 years after the original Blade Runner and 17 years before Blade Runner 2049. Blade Runner: Black Lotus follows Elle, a young woman who seeks to exact revenge on those who have wronged her, to understand her own identity, and to uncover the mysteries of her past.  

Blade Runner: Black Lotus is produced by Alcon Entertainment and animation studio Sola Digital Arts, with Shinichiro Watanabe serving as a creative producer. Crunchyroll will stream the series in Japanese with subtitles to its global audience, while Adult Swim will air the English language version on Toonami, the network's popular anime program­ming block. The weekly series premieres on November 13th across all platforms.

Grammy-Award winning singer-songwriter Alessia Cara's new original song "Feel You Now" leads the charge on Blade Runner: Black Lotus, widening the off-world sounds we are familiar with regarding the world of Blade Runner but still keeping the future sci-fi feel of rain-drenched, darkly lit shadow worlds and neon-lit streets. The soundtrack's original songs are co-written by Alcon Sleeping Giant's Grammy®-nominated producer Michael Hodges. Even though this is a various artist compilation, there is a solid and cohesive through-line whilst listening.
