The iconic theme song from Beverly Hills Cop, "Axel F," is making a comeback in Netflix's new movie. Eddie Murphy, reprising his role as Axel Foley, compares the theme song to having your own James Bond theme. The new version of the track, composed by Lorne Balfe, stays faithful to the original while adding a fresh spin. Balfe used the same vintage synths and instruments as Harold Faltermeyer did for the 1985 original recording. The new score was recorded with the RISE Diversity Orchestra, combining classic synths and live orchestral elements. The enduring popularity of the theme is evident as it continues to connect generations, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt mentioning how he learned to play it and is now passing it on to his son. The theme's nostalgic appeal is explored in the Netflix movie, offering a fresh take on an iconic piece of music history.
