Those who viewed Sinners over the past weekend and have found themselves captivated by its visuals and music may want to explore the official soundtrack and playlist on Spotify. The soundtrack features performances by newcomer Miles Caton, who portrays Preacher Boy, alongside the film’s score composed by Ludwig Göransson, renowned for collaborations with director Ryan Coogler. This collection also includes blues music influences cited by the film’s creators.
By interacting with certain tracks labeled under “Sinners Movie,” listeners are directed to a clickable profile for the film’s artist section. Here, the biography narrative reads, "There are legends of individuals born with the musical gift so profound it bridges life and death, evoking spirits of past and future times. In ancient Ireland, they were called Filí, in Choctaw regions as Firekeepers, and Griots in West Africa. This extraordinary talent can heal communities but also draws malevolent forces." This concept introduces the film’s theme, where music lures the film’s vampires.
Astute viewers will recognize that the main accompanying image is the wood carving from the film that features Preacher Boy. Clicking it reveals a scrollable collection of clippings. Initially, these reveal more wooden carvings, followed by hidden Easter egg newspaper clippings, providing further immersive content reminiscent of interactive methods seen in campaigns like Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy.
The newspaper clippings offer backstory about Smoke and Stack’s venture to misappropriate alcohol from rival Italian and Irish mafias, leading to internal conflicts among them, allowing the twins to evade consequences until the vampires intervene. An additional story mentions an earlier incident involving an Irish ship discovered as a crime scene, indicating Remmick, the primary vampire, had arrived in America.
Anticipation is expressed for further content upon the film’s release, possibly including Halloween-themed experiences.
In addition, the Spotify playlist features a new track by regular collaborator Hailee Steinfeld, enhancing the musical compilation.
Further updates and releases concerning major franchises like Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, the DC Universe, and Doctor Who can be found through io9’s news coverage.
