Preceding the May 12th opening of the action adventure Poseidon, from Warner Bros, the movie soundtrack will hit stores May 9th.

The two opening tracks are sung by Fergie, aka Stacy Ferguson of the mega-platinum, two-time Grammy Award-winning hip-hop group The Black Eyed Peas.

Fergie's two numbers, "Won''t Let You Fall" and "Bailamos," are performed by her onscreen at the beginning of the film, as the sultry nightclub singer who entertains the New Year's Eve crowd aboard the ill-fated luxury ocean liner.

The Poseidon soundtrack will also include "Postales," the familiar electronica track composed and performed by DJ Federico Aubele, erstwhile member of Thievery Corporation. The other eight titles on the soundtrack comprise the original score composed and produced by Klaus Badelt, a prolific soundtrack producer since 2000.

"Won''t Let You Fall" was co-written by hip-hop’s Fergie and fellow Black Eyed Peas member rap artist will.i.am, along with Keith Harris, Byron McWilliams and Ron Fair, chairman of Geffen Records; the track was produced by will.i.am and co-produced, arranged and conducted by Ron Fair.

"Bailamos" was also co-written by Fergie, will.i.am and the Peas'' Allen Pineda (apl.de.ap), along with Printz Board, Wayne Hector, and George Pajon, Jr.; the track was produced by will.i.am and Printz Board.

The music from the Motion Picture "Poseidon" will arrive in stores May 9th on A&M Records.
