Devonté Hynes has shared a new song called “Passing.” It’s the title track of Rebeca Hall’s new Netflix film, adapted from Nella Larson’s 1929 Harlem Renaissance novella about a light-skinned Black woman who lives under a white alter ego. Hynes scored the film and will digitally release Passing (Music From and Inspired by the Original Motion Picture) on November 10, via Lakeshore. Listen to “Passing” below.
The Passing score is one of several recent soundtrack projects from Hynes. Following the 2019 Blood Orange mixtape Angel’s Pulse, he scored Queen & Slim, Mainstream, and Luca Guadagnino’s series We Are Who We Are. So far this year, he has composed soundtracks for HBO’s In Treatment and Gia Coppola’s Mainstream, written a track titled “Born to Be” for the thriller Beckett, and co-scored Netflix’s Naomi Osaka.
