This cover version of Madonna’s Material Girl was arranged for the Sackboy: A Big Adventure video game by award-winning composer Winifred Phillips.  The music for Sackboy: A Big Adventure has already received a BAFTA nomination for Best Game Music, and the Sackboy: A Big Adventure video game was one of the biggest video game releases of 2020.  The BBC described this track from the Sackboy: A Big Adventure soundtrack as “a glorious cover of Madonna’s Material Girl by Winifred Phillips used to underscore Sackboy’s thrilling leaps from enormous bubble to enormous bubble in a sub nautical realm.”  The track was praised as “a wonderfully weird orchestral waltz cover” by IGN, and the PlayStation Blog hailed this version of Material Girl as "a standout moment in the game, the song reworked as an orchestral waltz that wouldn’t feel out of place in a Vienna concert hall."

The track was released on the official soundtrack album for Sackboy: A Big Adventure, from the record label Sony Classical.  The orchestra was recorded at Air Studios London.

"Of particular note for its cleverness and musical skill is LittleBigPlanet 3's The Ziggurat,” writes Emily Reese of Minnesota Public Radio. “It’s a nearly five-minute-long fugue. If you're unfamiliar with musical terms, that translates to "she pulled off something pretty nuts!"  Adds KT Wong of VGMOnline, “Exquisite arrangement and immaculate technicality!”  

"LittleBigPlanet 3 The Ziggurat Theme” is written to be a genuine fugue in the strict and rigorous classical sense, incorporating an organic, acoustic instrumental arrangement in support of a women’s choir. The intricate, highly sophisticated counterpoint arrangement sung by the choir is set against innovative world-music inspired rhythms and textures, resulting in a musical work showing prodigious vocal musicianship and pronounced originality of composition.

Awards for the LittleBigPlanet franchise include two BAFTA awards, eight AIAS Interactive Achievement Awards, a Spike Video Game Award, four Game Developers Choice Awards, a Gamescom Award, and a TIGA Games Industry Award.
