Songs from Damien Chazelle’s spell­bind­ing musi­cal are now avail­able to stream online.

We love La La Land, the soul-nour­ish­ing new film from writer/​director Damien Chazelle with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as starred-crossed lovers fol­low­ing their dreams in present-day Los Ange­les. And we espe­cial­ly love the sound­track, which fea­tures orig­i­nal songs writ­ten and com­posed by Justin Hur­witz and per­formed by the cast. Before the film hits cin­e­mas next week, give this spell­bind­ing playlist a whirl and pre­pare to fall in love…
