Something for Everybody is an album released by Baz Luhrmann in 1998. It contains new ambient versions (either newly recorded or remixed) of music from his films and plays, including hits from William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, Strictly Ballroom and La bohème.[1] The most popular single from the album is the spoken word song "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)".

Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic said of the album: "It's an unusual step to release a remix album based on a film director's work, but the endeavor actually works. A few songs sound a little uneasy, but many of the tracks have a dark, haunting beauty that makes Something for Everybody a fascinating listen."[2]
