Where older music lovers might bond over the first albums they purchased, thereвЂ™s now aВ number of generations who can do the same remembering the FIFA songs of their youth.Дoes FIFA merely reflect music taste, or actively shape it? According to Schnur, itвЂ™s both, вЂ‹ вЂњand it possibly even nurtures it too. But despite the wide-ranging mix of styles, the gameвЂ™s fans have turned it into aВ subgenre of itself, known simply as вЂ‹ вЂFIFA SongsвЂ™. The programmersвЂ™ music policy has subtly shifted over the years too, from an indie rock infancy to its twenty-something prime that now incorporates an eclectic mix of EDM, grime and hip-hop. вЂ‹ вЂњWeвЂ™re obsessed with the concept of music discovery,вЂќ says Steve Schnur, President of EAвЂ™s Music division. The вЂ‹ вЂ™22 announcement describes the gameвЂ™s playlist as a вЂ‹ вЂcultural mirrorвЂ™, aВ phrase that downplays how committed the gameвЂ™s programmers are to introducing listeners to new artists. вЂ‹ вЂњWeвЂ™re like, вЂ‹ вЂwell, thatвЂ™s kind of the pointвЂ™.вЂќ вЂ‹ вЂњFor years, whenever we would announce the bands that were going on FIFA, the most common feedback from users, games and kids was вЂ‹ вЂIвЂ™ve never heard of aВ single one of these bandsвЂ™,вЂќ says Cybele Pettus, the Senior Music Supervisor at EA. As tweaks to the gameplay become more minute and in-game features like Ultimate Team exhaust their capacity for reinvention, the annual playlist refresh has become aВ much-anticipated event in itself. Twenty-three years since EA Sports put BlurвЂ™s Song 2 on FIFA: Road to World Cup 1998, the background music that accompanies the in-game menus has slowly blossomed into one of the titleвЂ™s key selling points.

The history of FIFA вЂ‹ вЂ™s soundtrack is aВ study in ambience turned active.
