EA FC, formerly known as Fifa, is not just a popular video game among football fans, but also a coveted platform for musicians looking to make their mark. Each year, around a hundred songs are selected for the soundtrack of the game, giving exposure to both established and up-and-coming artists.
Steve Schnur, EA’s president of music, revealed that the selection process is rigorous, with thousands of songs being considered. The ultimate goal is to choose tracks that resonate with the gamers, creating a unique tone for the game. While popular artists like Skepta and Dua Lipa have featured in the past, EA also aims to showcase lesser-known bands to its audience.
One such band, Good Neighbours, comprised of Oli Fox and Scott Verill, has recently made it onto the EA FC 25 soundtrack. The duo expressed their excitement at being part of the game, highlighting the impact it can have on their career. For them, getting their music on EA FC is a dream come true, as they have been fans of the game since childhood.
Interestingly, Oli’s brother, Morgan Fox, is a professional footballer who has featured in Fifa games since 2013. The connection between music, football, and EA FC runs deep in their family, with the brothers sharing a love for both the game and the sport.
In the competitive world of music, getting a song on EA FC can be a game-changer for artists, propelling them to new heights of fame and recognition. As the gaming industry continues to grow, the collaboration between musicians and game developers opens up new opportunities for creative expression and exposure.
