Nick Cave, of all people, has gone Joker mode. In the soundtrack to the new, Lady Gaga–starring sequel Joker: Folie à Deux, Cave sings a medley of “Slap That Bass,” “Get Happy,” and “What the World Needs Now Is Love.” Find out what that sounds like below.
Other songs from the film include a song called “The Joker,” from Gaga’s new album, Harlequin, and a preview of the score in the form of “There Is No Joker,” by the Icelandic composer and performer Hildur Guðnadóttir. The soundtrack is out today, as is the movie.
