That's always fun to go through".^[3] He complimented Furman's musical sense on selecting specific songs for the character who provided him 40 songs upon McConaughey's request which helped him with the pace, movement and approach.^[3]

The 2010 single "Nightcall" performed by French musician Kavinsky was also featured in the soundtrack of Drive, also composed by Martinez.^[4][5]

Cliff Martinez composed the original score for The Lincoln Lawyer. He used a mixture of electronics without the use of synthesizers to provide an ambient score and used recordings of orchestral sounds that have been pitched and stretched beyond recognition to provide an organic score. Most of the orchestral recordings are pitched and detuned without using synthesizers. He further used percussion instrument to amplify the rhythmic and tonal characteristics of the ambient textures and soundscape.^[8] Martinez composed nearly 50 minutes of score for the film.^[9] The score was released through Lakeshore Records on March 8, 2011.^[8]
