Composer Tyler Bates’ score for Universal Pictures’ Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is officially out now. Featuring orchestral elements, Samoan drums and hundreds of guitar & bass tracks performed by Bates himself, the collection of music matches the high-octane intensity of the summer blockbuster, which just debuted at number 1 at the box office this past weekend. The album is available now via major digital streaming platforms HERE and a complete tracklisting can be found below.
Hobbs & Shaw marks the 11th feature film that Tyler Bates has composed music for that has reached number 1 at the box office. Having also written the music for the entire Guardians of the Galaxy and John Wick series, as well as a number of notable movies including Deadpool 2 (2018), Watchmen (2009), 300 (2007), his scores continue to fuel some of the world’s biggest films and franchises. Hobbs & Shaw is on target to push the cumulative worldwide box-office gross of Bates’ projects over 5 billion dollars to-date.
“Creating the score for Hobbs & Shaw was an absolutely wild ride,” says Bates. “David Leitch ran through a wall, and every department followed his lead to make an incredibly entertaining movie that has heart & humor, and that rocks hard with a thousand guitars from start to finish!”
On July 26th, Back Lot Music also released the original motion picture soundtrack to Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. The soundtrack features new music by YUNGBLUD, Idris Elba feat. Cypress Hill, Aloe Blacc, and explores a variety of musical styles that reflect the eclectic energy of the film; everything from British Rock to hip-hop to electronic and even Samoan. Bates rounds out the soundtrack with a score suite aptly titled “Hobbs & Shaw Rocks!”.

Tyler is also co-producing Bush’s upcoming full-length album with Gavin Rossdale.
