Sony Masterworks will release the official soundtrack album for the musical drama Carmen. The album features the film’s original score composed by Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Nicholas Britell (Succession, Moonlight, Andor, If Beale Street Could Talk, Cruella, Don’t Look Up), as well as the movie’s original songs written by Britell, Taura Stinson, Julieta Venegas & Tracy “The D.O.C.” Curry. The soundtrack will be released digitally this Friday, April 21 and will be available to stream/download on Amazon and any other major digital music services. Carmen is co-written and directed by Benjamin Millepied and stars Melissa Barrera, Paul Mescal, Rossy de Palma and The D.O.C. The modern-day reimagining of Bizet’s opera and Prosper Mérimée’s novella of the same name follows a young and fiercely independent woman who is forced to flee her home in the Mexican desert and – together with a border patrol agent – travels to Los Angeles. The drama, which premiered at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, will be released theatrically in Los Angeles and New York on April 21 by Sony Pictures Classics before expanding to more markets in the coming weeks.
