Fantastic Four (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)[a] is the soundtrack album to the 2015 film Fantastic Four. Directed by Josh Trank, the film is based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name, and is a reboot of the Fantastic Four film franchise. The musical score is composed by Marco Beltrami and Philip Glass,[1][2] and the album was released in digital and physical formats on August 7, 2015 by Sony Classical Records, coinciding the film's release.[3][4] It was also released in two-disc vinyl sets on August 10.[5] Apart from featuring Beltrami and Glass' score, it also featured an original song "Another Body" performed by El-P and a single "Fantastic" performed by RM and Mandy Ventrice. The latter was only used for promotional purposes for the South Korean theatrical release, and is not featured in the film or the soundtrack.
On July 24, 2015, El-P announced the promotional single titled "Another Body" for the film,[12] and was later released during the live performance of his band Run the Jewels at the Beats 1 show on July 25.[13][14] The song was later featured as a bonus track in the digital streaming releases of the album.[3] To promote the film, Kim Nam-joon, known as RM of the K-pop group BTS, and American recording artist Mandy Ventrice, worked on the digital single "Fantastic", which was released alongside the South Korean run of the film.[15][16] The accompanying music video was released on August 3.[15][17]
Their first single on Ric-Tic, "The Whole World Is a Stage," was their only big hit single, peaking at number 6 on the US Billboard R&B chart in 1967.[1] The next release, "You Gave Me Something (And Everything's Alright)," reached number 12 that same year.[1] Motown eventually purchased Ric-Tic, and they had another Top 20 R&B hit with "I Love You Madly," which came out in 1968 and was also issued on Soul.[1] Before the Motown takeover, The Fantastic Four were the Ric-Tic label's biggest-selling act, outselling Edwin Starr in the US.[2] Their songs were regularly played on Detroit/Windsor's 50,000 watt powerhouse station, CKLW (The Big 8). They continued to record for Motown, releasing several singles under its Soul subsidiary label, until 1970, when they went into semi-retirement.[3]
Several years later Armen Boladian persuaded them to sign with his Westbound label.[1] There they enjoyed renewed appeal during the disco era, with some singles that were moderately successful, among them "Alvin Stone (The Birth & Death of a Gangster)" and "I Got to Have Your Love."[1] Motown guitarist Dennis Coffey produced "B.Y.O.F. (Bring Your Own Funk)" in 1979, although they did not have much success with it. The song did become their only entry in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 62 in February 1979.[4]
The Fantastic Four remained active and released Working on a Building of Love in 1990 for the UK's Motorcity label.[5] The group's only Motown album, Best of The Fantastic Four, was released on CD by Motown in the early 1990s. It was a compilation of the group's Ric-Tic hit singles, prior to Motown's takeover of that label, and now is a highly sought-after collectors' item.[6][7] In November 2013, Motown Records and Universal Music re-released the CD Best of The Fantastic Four, featuring the original tracks, which were remastered for the release.[8] In 2015, Ace Records released The Lost Motown Album,[9] on its Kent Soul label, including the LP that Motown had prepared for release (entitled How Sweet He Is) and other previously unheard songs.
Fans dropped their comments heaping praise on RM. A few of them wrote, "Only 1% of this fandom knows this masterpiece exist. I salute to people who still listen to this and appreciate namjoon...I purple you", "banger song", and "how is no one talking about Namjoon's vocals in the background? They are on point!"
Meanwhile, South Korean President Moon Jae-in has appointed BTS as the Special Presidential Envoy for Future Generations and Culture. The septet will attend the 76th UN General Assembly in September. BTS members recently released two English songs--Butter and Permission to Dance.
They also put their own spins on popular rhyming songs, like "Miss Mary Mack," and brought them into the ropes, says ethnomusicologist Kyra D. Gaunt. "You learned from your elder siblings, you learned from your same-age peer age group, in schools, hanging out on the stoop, on the sidewalk."
As the team's star rose, so did the profile of Double Dutch. In 1981, Frankie Smith released the hit song "Double Dutch Bus." In 1982, the Fantastic Four were tapped to perform at The Roxy alongside DJs, MCs, graffiti artists, and B-boys- leading to the team's participation in the New York City Rap Tour, which introduced hip-hop to audiences in Europe.
And yet the ties between hip-hop and Double Dutch were never completely severed. For example, you can spot them in Nelly's 2000 debut single "Country Grammar," which borrows from the hand-clapping game "Down Down Baby," a 2011 ad for Jay-Z's Rocawear, and songs by Missy Elliott, including 2002's "Gossip Folks," which samples Frankie Smith's "Double Dutch Bus," and 2019's "Throw it Back," whose music video features a scene where Elliot's braids double as jump ropes.
He made that clear in the Uncanny X-Men: Winter's End one-shot, in which Iceman celebrated his birthday. Bobby Drake had invited friends and family along for a birthday party; naturally, it didn't go well, with everything from family drama to a confrontation between Iceman and a version from an alternate future timeline. Still, plenty of friends did turn up, and the Human Torch brought along the most amusing gift of all. He'd written a song in honor of their bromance, which he called "A Song of Ice and Fire." It fell to poor Iceman to reveal the name was already taken.
The joke works on so many levels. The Human Torch has probably heard of Game of Thrones, but he's not exactly the literary type, so he's unlikely to have ever realized it was inspired by a series of novels. Meanwhile, of course Johnny Storm is self-absorbed enough to write a song about himself and Bobby as a birthday present. As the saying goes, with any gift, it's the thought that counts; and for the Human Torch, the thought was decidedly egocentric.
It's fascinating to imagine what the Fantastic Four would make of sci-fi and fantasy TV shows like Game of Thrones. Frankly, their own lives are so fantastical they may well find even the most imaginative worlds underwhelming. No doubt Johnny would watch the war for the Iron Throne with an amused glint in his eye, remembering the far more dangerous battle he fought to become ruler of the Negative Zone for a brief time. Meanwhile, it's easy to imagine Mr. Fantastic pausing an episode to begin a lengthy discussion on narrative inconsistencies, or else swiftly deducing the end of an arc. The Thing is the only one who seems likely to enjoy escapist fiction, but even he's unlikely to have read the books; his mutated fingers aren't exactly made for turning pages.
