The new movie from Barry Jenkins—the director of the Academy Award-winning movie Moonlight—is an adaptation of James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk. The movie is in theaters on November 30. Before it arrives, the unique rating from Nicholas Britell is out digitally November 9 by way of Lakeshore Records. (A vinyl launch is forthcoming.) Britell beforehand labored with Jenkins on the Moonlight score.
“Together, we explored a sonic landscape filled with brass and strings, while also venturing into some quite extreme experimentation,” Britell stated of his collaboration with Jenkins on the brand new rating. “I’m always fascinated by the mysteries of scoring a film. As Barry and I worked together, we discovered certain sounds which we felt deeply resonated with the story. I’m so honored to have been a part of this film and to have had the opportunity to work with Barry again.”
If Beale Street Could Talk stars KiKi Layne, Stephan James, Teyonah Parris, Colman Domingo, and Regina King. Watch the trailer under.
