REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - September 10, 2009 - EA today announced the track list that will propel players to the finish line in Need for Speed SHIFT when it hits retail in North America on September 15 (In stores across Europe on September 17, 2009). The SHIFT soundtrack features some of today's most influential hip hop and rock artists including Kanye West, The Prodigy, Kasabian, and MSTRKRFT. Each song was hand selected to provide a pounding score that matches the intensity and bone-crushing power of this year's Need for Speed.

The game has already received several positive reviews including one from Official Xbox Magazine which referred to Need for Speed SHIFT as a "brilliant turn in a new direction" and "deep and addictive."

"Intense music has always fueled the sound of Need For Speed," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at EA. "For SHIFT, we truly went underground to bring together some of the edgiest new tracks in electronic music, hip-hop and rock from around the world. These artists are the radical equivalents of real outlaw racing. The result is a white-knuckle soundtrack of pure global adrenaline."
