the soundtrack features three songs by the kinks, "powerman", "strangers" and "this time tomorrow", all from the 1970 album, "lola versus powerman and the moneygoround, part one", as well as "play with fire" by the rolling stones. "where do you go to (my lovely)" by peter sarstedt is prominently featured as well, being played within the film more than once. most of the album, however, features film score music composed by bengali filmmaker satyajit ray, merchant-ivory films, and other artists from indian cinema. director wes anderson has said that it was satyajit ray's movies that made him want to come to india. the works include "charu's theme", from ray's 1964 film, "charulata", film-score cues by shankar jaikishan and classic works by claude debussy and ludwig van beethoven. the film ends with the 1969 song "les champs-élysées" by french singer joe dassin, who was the son of blacklisted american director jules dassin.br

in the 1969 song track, hendrix plays the role of both himself and his brother leon. backed by modern day blues, the song begins with "it's too bad, lord, my brother can't be here today", to explore hendrix's uneasy relationship with leon, a theme that hendrix also explored in his 1969 song, "shame, shame, shame". in "it's too bad", the song notes how hendrix sent leon "a-crying away", and goes on to addresses hendrix's uneasy relationship with other african-americans, noting: "so i'll go way across the tracks... and man they treat me the same way as you do... [they] say man until you come back, completely black, go back where you came from too". music reviews attributed the uneasy community connection expressed in the song to 1960s-1970s african-americans' objection to hendrix's "colorblind vision" by accusing hendrix of "achieving stardom by pandering to rock's largely white audience". the song also makes reference to hendrix's 1968 song "room full of mirrors", which refers to a cracked mirror metaphor hendrix used to convey the many sides of his emotions.
