Forza Horizon 6 Launch Trailer Song: ‘Enchanting Stranger’ by Milk Talk
The song in the official Forza Horizon 6 Launch Trailer (published on Xbox’s YouTube channel on May 8, 2026) is “Enchanting Stranger” by Milk Talk — a brand-new original track written specifically for the game.
Milk Talk announced it on X: “forza horizon 6 will include our new original song ‘enchanting stranger’ !!!!! you can hear the track now in the prologue gameplay video over on forza’s yt channel #ForzaHorizon6.” The track was also confirmed on the Official Forza Community Forums by community manager T10ManteoMax in the launch trailer discussion thread.
The song mixes English and Japanese vocals, fitting FH6’s Japan setting, and is featured both in the cinematic launch trailer and in the in-game prologue gameplay video.

| Trailer | Song | Artist | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official Launch Trailer (May 8, 2026) | Enchanting Stranger | Milk Talk | Confirmed by artist & Forza forum mod |
| TGS 2025 Reveal Teaser (Sept 2025) | Baja El Telon | ALIBI Music (production track) | Confirmed via ALIBI Music sync credit |

TGS 2025 Reveal Trailer and Other Trailer Music
The Tokyo Game Show 2025 reveal teaser that first announced FH6’s Japan setting used “Baja El Telon” from ALIBI Music’s Reggaeton 2 library, a production-music sync rather than a commercial release. The track is credited on ALIBI Music’s official portfolio page for the trailer (“Forza Horizon 6 | Official Reveal Trailer | TGS 2025”).
For the two Biome Showcase trailers — Discover Japan and Tokyo City — neither the official YouTube descriptions on the Xbox / Forza Motorsport channels nor Forza.net news posts publicly credit the specific songs used. Community Shazam attempts have not produced a single confirmed identification, so both tracks remain (unconfirmed) in this guide.
What is confirmed:
- The Tokyo City Biome Showcase trailer features stylised Tokyo, Shibuya Crossing and Rainbow Bridge footage.
- The Discover Japan Biomes Showcase tours the six biomes — Tokyo City, Mt. Fuji, sakura forests, snow-capped mountains, coastline and rural Japan.
- Forza.net’s radio reveal post says the in-game soundtrack uses both Western and Japanese artists, but doesn’t tie specific tracks to specific trailers.
If you’re trying to ID a song you heard in either biome showcase, the most likely candidates based on Forza.net’s reveal are J-pop tracks from Gacha City Radio (YOASOBI, Ado, Yellow Magic Orchestra) or modern classical from Horizon Opus — but this is not officially confirmed.
All 9 Radio Stations in Forza Horizon 6
Forza Horizon 6 ships with nine radio stations — six returning from FH5 and three brand-new ones tailored to the Japan setting. Forza.net describes the line-up as “the largest number of songs in a Forza title yet.”
| # | Station | Genre | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Horizon Pulse | Feel-good electronic / pop | Returning |
| 2 | Horizon Bass Arena | Bass-heavy electronic / EDM | Returning |
| 3 | Horizon Block Party | Hip-hop & rap (Western + Japanese) | Returning |
| 4 | Horizon XS | Rock / metal / alternative | Returning |
| 5 | Horizon Wave | Synthwave / retro-electronic | Returning |
| 6 | Hospital Records | Drum & bass | Returning |
| 7 | Gacha City Radio | J-pop, J-rock, city pop, anime | New |
| 8 | Sub Pop Records | Indie / alternative rock | New |
| 9 | Horizon Opus | Modern classical / orchestral | New |
The three new stations were announced in the Forza.net post “Turn up Your Airwaves with the Horizon Festival’s Biggest Line-Up Yet,” which describes Gacha City Radio as the station built around “J-pop, J-rock and city pop” to match the Japan setting, Sub Pop Records as a label-partner indie station, and Horizon Opus as a modern-classical station — a Forza first.
Confirmed Featured Artists by Station
Across Forza.net’s official radio reveal, the NME song list and Traxion’s tracklist breakdown, the following artists are publicly confirmed on each station. Specific song titles beyond Linkin Park’s “Up From The Bottom” are not all publicly listed yet — Forza typically reveals full tracklists at launch.
- Horizon Pulse: Tame Impala, Joji, Porter Robinson, Tycho, Hikaru Utada
- Horizon Bass Arena: Calvin Harris, Gryffin, Tourist, ISOxo, Ninajirachi, Confidence Man
- Horizon Block Party: Lil Nas X, Anderson .Paak, Little Simz, Public Enemy
- Horizon XS: Linkin Park (“Up From The Bottom”), BABYMETAL, Biffy Clyro, Rise Against, Turnstile, Spiritbox, Poppy, Pendulum
- Hospital Records: (unconfirmed) — Forza.net confirms the station returns but the tracklist had not been published at time of writing
- Gacha City Radio: YOASOBI, Ado, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Creepy Nuts
- Sub Pop Records: Beach House, Foals, The Shins, Band of Horses
- Horizon Wave: The Midnight, FM-84, Lazerhawk, Magic Sword
- Horizon Opus: Max Richter, Ólafur Arnalds, Lindsey Stirling
Linkin Park’s contribution is notable because “Up From The Bottom” is a new track from their 2024 reunion album From Zero — confirmed by Linkin Park’s fan channels and Traxion’s tracklist coverage.
Where to Listen Before Launch
Official Spotify playlists for each FH6 radio station are hosted on the FORZA Spotify profile and are being released in the run-up to launch. The full per-station playlists are the most reliable way to preview what you’ll hear in-game on May 19.
- Horizon Pulse – Forza Horizon 6 playlist is already live on Spotify (curated by FORZA).
- A community-maintained Forza Horizon 6 Soundtrack megaplaylist by user Kaled aggregates currently-confirmed tracks across stations.
Milk Talk’s “Enchanting Stranger” is also available standalone on the artist’s official YouTube channel and on streaming platforms, so you can loop the launch trailer song without rewatching the trailer.
Important caveats:
- Forza.net has stated the published artist lists are not exhaustive — additional artists and song titles will be revealed at launch and in post-launch radio updates.
- The Hospital Records tracklist remains unpublished as of May 14, 2026.
- Songs heard in the Discover Japan and Tokyo City Biome Showcase trailers have not been officially credited; treat any community ID with caution.
