Ryan Coogler’s new film Sinners is about many things, but one of the things it is about above all else is the power of music.
It was therefore more important than ever for the music featured in the film to be of an especially high standard, and so it’s no surprise that Coogler brought in his regular collaborator – the Oscar and Grammy-winning Ludwig Göransson – to pen an original score for the movie.
But even beyond the score itself, there are several other musical numbers – some electrifying, some haunting – that feature throughout the film, covering everything from blues to Irish folk music.
These numbers were all performed live on set, with breakout star Miles Caton especially wowing during his musical moments, and according to star Wunmi Mosaku, the experience of watching these scenes being filmed was extremely special.
“It was just beautiful,” she told RadioTimes.com during an exclusive interview. “Ludwig’s composition is just so more-ish, you don’t get tired of it, it’s just, like, beautiful.
“And then hearing someone like Miles… like, from the day we heard him at the read through, everyone’s mouth was, like, aghast, we were just moved to tears, hearing this young, amazingly talented musician and this actor doing his debut.”
She continued: “And, like, seeing him perform, you know… he’s new on a set, asking questions, learning, and then you see him take the stage as his character, and you’re like, ‘Wow, this is his domain, like, as the character.’ You feel really proud, and not that you had anything to do with it, but you feel really proud to be a part of it.”
Meanwhile, the soundtrack album – which will be released in line with the film – also has some more surprises in store for fans, including a new original song by star Hailee Steinfeld – her first new track in two years.
“It was such a surreal experience, coming off of this movie, feeling so, so deeply inspired as a person, but as an actor and as a musician, with how heavily present music is in this film, getting the opportunity to collaborate with this project musically was a dream,” she explained to RadioTimes.com.
“And to write this song and lyrically tap into Mary and her relationship with Stack and trying to sort of encapsulate that deep desire to simply just be together when it’s not so simple under circumstances that aren’t so simple. And maybe that’s a little bit selfish of her.
“The song is called Dangerous, and it sort of, I think… I hope evokes that vulnerability that a lot of these characters have.
“But it was so amazing to sort of, like, be in both worlds, you know? Having played Mary and understanding the sort of inside of her, and then, you know, be on the outside of it now and write a song, sort of from her perspective mixed with my own, was quite fun.”
