VIA PRESS RELEASE | Hollywood Records and Searchlight Pictures are excited to announce the April 12 release of The Greatest Hits (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 2-LP color vinyl album and (Original Score Soundtrack) digital album with music and score by Academy Award® nominated composer, musician, and Son Lux founding member Ryan Lott (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
The 2-LP violet and aqua colored vinyl album is available now for pre-order and features the original song, “Never Lost,” by Grammy Award® winning artist Nelly Furtado (written by Nelly Furtado and Ryan Lott), and music from Roxy Music, Beach House, Tune-Yards, Neil Frances, Peggy Lee, and more. The film is available in select theaters on April 5 and will stream on Hulu starting April 12.
Ryan Lott comments on the score, “I loved working on this film with Ned, our second together. He’s so receptive to the emotional resonances that music creates inside him and stays in tune with those frequencies. His insights allowed me to remain intuitive throughout, even when many of the things the score had to accomplish were quite technical.”
“While our protagonist experiences a different kind of metaphysical impact of music in her life than I do, it’s akin to the transporting inebriation that I’ve always felt from music. Scoring those experiences to capture that kind of heightened, altered state, weaving between and within great songs by other artists, was its own transporting experience for me.”
Ned Benson, The Greatest Hits writer, director, and executive soundtrack album producer, added, “I am haunted by music. It’s my partner in crime when I write or when I drive around LA. It’s the pile of records on my shelves and floor that gets me up in the morning and reminds me to live. To me, there’s no better self-medication than getting lost in a song. So, this movie, and this soundtrack, was a love letter to music and its ability to not only take us back in time, but to remind us to live in the moment.”
ABOUT THE FILM | Harriet (Lucy Boynton) finds art imitating life when she discovers certain songs can transport her back in time—literally. While she relives the past through romantic memories of her former boyfriend (David Corenswet), her time traveling collides with a burgeoning new love interest in the present (Justin H. Min). As she takes her journey through the hypnotic connection between music and memory, she wonders—even if she could change the past, should she?
