In the upcoming film "Elektra," Jennifer Garner plays a super-sexy secret assassin with a penchant for martial-arts beatdowns and skin-tight leather bustiers. So it should come as no surprise that her lethal antics are backed by a soundtrack that's equally powerful and sexy.
Hitting shelves on January 11, just three days before the film pounces into theaters, Elektra: The Album features new-to-the-U.S. studio tracks from Evanescence, Jet and Taking Back Sunday, plus songs from the Donnas, Switchfoot and a bevy of artists from the Wind-Up Records stable, like Alter Bridge, Finger Eleven and 12 Stones.
Evanescence contribute a studio version of "Breathe No More," which was previously only available in a live version on their recent CD/DVD, Anywhere But Home. Jet's "Hey Kids" appeared on the recently released live DVD "Family Style," and Taking Back Sunday's new recording of "Your Own Disaster" was only available on the Japanese version of their Where You Want to Be album.
Garner's Elektra first appeared in last year's spandex-and-super-hero flick "Daredevil," which starred Ben Affleck. The soundtrack to that film helped launch Evanescence to superstardom, featuring two tracks from the band (including their hit, "Bring Me to Life"), and was certified gold in the U.S.
The track list for Elektra: The Album, according to Wind-Up Records:
- Strata - "Never There (She Stabs)"
- Jet - "Hey Kids"
- The Donnas - "Everyone Is Wrong"
- Switchfoot - "Sooner or Later"
