STX Entertainment announced that they will release the Official Soundtrack for The Edge of Seventeen on Friday, November 18th.

The Official Soundtrack is now available for pre-order via iTunes and Amazon, and is paired with an instant download of Handsome Poets’ “Sky On Fire.”
The Edge of Seventeen is a new coming-of-age movie in the vein of Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. It is an honest, candid, often hilarious look at what it’s like to grow up as a young woman in today’s modern world. Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld), is already at her peak of awkwardness when her all-star older brother Darian (Blake Jenner) starts dating her best friend Krista (Haley Lu Richardson). Overnight, Nadine finds herself feeling more alone than ever, until the unexpected friendship of a thoughtful boy (Hayden Szeto) gives her hope that things just might not be so terrible after all.
The Edge of Seventeen marks the feature directorial debut of writer-director Kelly Fremon Craig, and is produced by Academy Award® winner James L. Brooks – the filmmaker behind big-screen, character-driven classics such as Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News, Big, Say Anything, The Simpsons, Jerry Maguire and As Good as It Gets. The coming-of-age film also stars Kyra Sedgwick as Nadine’s well-meaning but completely ineffective mother, and Woody Harrelson as Nadine’s History teacher, mentor, and reluctant sounding board.
