In the last two years, M83’s Anthony Gonzalez wrote new music for Tom Cruise’s SciFi thriller Oblivion and scored the film for his brother’s feature-length debutYou And The Night. Today, he continues his plunge into the cinema, as he’s contributed a new song to the all-star soundtrack for Divergent.
Taking a cue from the film’s futuristic setting, “I Need You” is a vast and otherworldly electronic soundscape. Outfitted with sweeping, cinematic movements at every turn — and yes, even a badass soft-rock sax solo during the bridge — its triumphant spirit will have you feeling like the universe’s hero in no time.
