Jamie N Commons Makes Track For Battlefield Hardline
Every AAA release these days has a song that is used in all the marketing close to launch and they usually feature a pronounced but fairly slow drum beat, with some powerful lyrics behind it. Battlefield Hardline is no different, as Karma from Jamie N Commons has been announced as the games title track and it is exactly what you would expect. But that’s not exactly a bad thing.
The track that you can hear in the video above was written specifically for the game thanks to EA’s partnership with KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records. Jamie N Commons explains his motivations when making the track:
“I have been a longtime gamer and I could not pass up the opportunity to be involved with a franchise I respect as much as Battlefield. Earlier this year ‘Jungle’ was featured in the first Battlefield Hardline trailer, which was a total thrill. ‘Karma,’ however, was written specifically with the game in mind. The deep melodic beats and lyrics help express the game’s theme where actions have consequences, but sometimes those consequences come back full circle. I think gamers are going to love it.”
Steve Papoutsis, VP and General Manager of Visceral Games and Executive Producer of Battlefield Hardline also added this:
“The music, and moreover the audio help create that emotional experience you want gamers to feel as they play in the world we’ve built for them,”
“With ‘Karma’, Jamie captured that gritty cop and criminals tone that defines Hardline, where not everyone is good and not everyone is bad, toeing that fine line of the law.”
Jamie is going to be performing the track at the ‘totally not the VGA’s’ Game Awards 2014 in Las Vegas tonight, UK viewers can tune in from 2am, or you could stay tuned to God is a Geek across the weekend in order to get all the latest news, and get some sleep as well. Don’t say we don’t treat you well!
