“It’s great to be celebrating the release of the game with a separate soundtrack release. We’ve had the pleasure of humming these tunes all day throughout development, and we’re blessed to have great composers write music for us in their renowned style,” stated Gavin Price, managing director and creative lead at Playtonic.

The Yooka-Laylee soundtrack features work from three talented composers including Grant Kirkhope, David Wise, and Steve Burke. All three composers are former members of Rare, with Grant Kirkhope working on titles such as Banjo-Kazooie and GoldenEye 007, and David Wise contributing to Donkey Kong Country.
