Jessy y Joy Contribute to 'Eclipse' Soundtrack

jesse y joy'The 'Twilight Saga' is ready to continue its colossally profitable franchise with the release of the 'Eclipse' soundtrack, from the third cinematic adaptation of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight book series. After the much-celebrated original soundtrack for 'New Moon,' the film's score will once again shine its light on indie and alternative acts such as Beck, Bat For Lashes, Vampire Weekend and Fanfarlo. In its Latin American edition, the soundtrack will include a track from Latin Grammy winning duet Jesse y Joy, two Mexican-American siblings whose popularity is about to reach immense proportions.

The duo announced they will be contributing with an original Spanish-language song titled 'Magia y Deseo' (Magic and Desire). Although, clearly better than the average Latin pop mainstream group, Jesse y Joy seem like an extremely safe choice to include compared to the very edgy international artists on the soundtrack's tracklist. They have built a broad supportive fan base all throughout Latin America, through adolescent and cute songs, it should be interesting to see how well they adapt to the movie's much darker tone.

This will not be the first time the 'Twilight' soundtracks feature a special add-on name to their lineup, in 'New Moon,' Mexican singer-songwriter Ximena Sariñana contributed to the album with 'Frente al Mar.' The 'Eclipse' soundtrack will have an international release next month.

Meet Jesse y Joy, and their video 'Espacio Sideral,' after the jump.
