Sometiems i wish i can just listen to the stems of her songs all of them r so well made

Releasing stems really should be standard practice. Ppl making remixes of your songs is free advertising

How did you approach building the soundtrack for DS2?

For the soundtrack, we worked with Ludvig Forssell, and I’ve also put Woodkid’s songs into the game. All the other musicians are those that I listen to on a daily basis and whom I like. Same as with actor casting, I contact them directly, and I ask them if we can use their songs, or sometimes they tell me they want to write a new song for the game, and we go back and forth.

I was listening to Caroline Polachek last year and became a big fan of hers. After I put that on my Instagram, she contacted me, and then we DM’d. We kept in touch and eventually met up in Paris, and that’s when she told me she wanted to write a new song for Death Stranding 2. She works very fast. You heard her song when you saw the Plate Gate – it’s called “On the Beach”.

I just found out Ben Mawson was her manager for this entire era. That man really knows how to market artists lol I wonder why she parted ways with him
