Republic Records and Brushfire Records announce "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty: Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture" soundtrack. The Film is written and directed by Ben Stiller and features Kristen Wiig, released in cinemas Boxing Day.

The soundtrack has a personal touch from its stars: Ben Stiller curated the entire tracklist, becoming deeply involved in the making of the record. Moreover, this is the first time Kristen Wiig has ever performed on a soundtrack. She punctuates a David Bowie classic with her own flair on the "Space Oddity (Mitty Mix)"—a standout from the collection.

The soundtrack features a bevy of songs from the movie as well as some special new originals inspired by the story itself. Another centerpiece is José González's emotional and enthralling "Stay Alive". Penned by Ryan Adams, it's as unique as it is unforgettable.

Elsewhere on the soundtrack, "Dirty Paws" is an artfully catchy staple from Icelandic alternative folk impresarios Of Monsters and Men, while Jack Johnson contributes his own fresh take on "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" alongside cuts from Bahamas, Grace Mitchell, Junip, and more. The tracklisting captures the adventurous spirit of the movie with its own distinct charm.
