Columbia Recording artist, songwriter, musician, and producer SALEKA announces the release of the soundtrack album, LADY RAVEN (Original Music From The Motion Picture TRAP), featuring music from the highly anticipated Warner Bros. Pictures film TRAP, in which she makes her feature film acting debut. Both the album and film are set for release on August 2.
Featuring special guests Kid Cudi, Russ, and Amaarae, LADY RAVEN (Original Music From The Motion Picture TRAP) boasts 14 original songs, composed, performed, and produced entirely by SALEKA, who crafted each song specifically to the script and narrative of the film, blending SALEKA‘s classical piano training with her distinct dark-pop-R&B production and tonality.
Today, Warner Bros. Pictures also shared the latest trailer for M. Night Shyamalan‘s highly anticipated upcoming feature-length concert thriller, TRAP, featuring a snippet of SALEKA‘s unreleased song, “Pieces”.
Last month, SALEKA teased the new music with the rousing ballad “RELEASE,” the first track from the album, also serving as the powerful backdrop to the second trailer.
TRAP stars SALEKA alongside Oppenheimer’s Josh Hartnett, a doting father taking his teen daughter to an arena concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event. The story, taking place in near-real time, is interwoven into the concert itself, during which SALEKA gives an exhilarating onstage performance as the fictional artist “Lady Raven.”
The inspiration for the film arose during conversations between SALEKA and her father, TRAP director/writer/producer M. Night Shyamalan, as the two discussed their love of music-centric film experiences.
TRAP will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, in theaters nationwide on August 2.
