Last updated

One Night in Miami... (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2020 film One Night in Miami... directed by Regina King. The album featured 22 songs, which are popular 1960s singles from artists including Sam Cooke, Ray Charlies, Jackie Wilson and several others, and performed some by the film's cast. It also features an original song "Speak Now" by Leslie Odom Jr. and Sam Ashworth, and few cues from the score composed by Terence Blanchard.

Contents

The album was released by ABKCO Records digitally on December 25, 2020 and followed by a physical CD release on January 15, and a vinyl edition released on March 5. Blanchard's score was released into a separate album, titled One Night in Miami... (Original Score) on January 15. Four of Odom Jr.'s songs, including "Speak Now" were released into a soundtrack EP titled Speak Now (Selections From One Night In Miami... Soundtrack) on May 7, 2021. The song "Speak Now" received nominations in the "Original Song" category at the Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards and Grammy Awards, and won Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Song.

Background

Terence Blanchard composed the musical score and also co-produced few of the songs. Blanchard had said it as a "brilliant experience" on working with Regina King, as she had a "really strong directing talent". [1] When they began working together on the score, Blanchard suggested King on trying few approaches to score for the film. He initially intended an orchestral music with a large ensemble, but King wanted to use a piano-based score, as it "creates a historical narration for the film". [2] [3]

Blanchard called it as "an interesting exercise for me, because then everything about the piano became bigger, like the dynamics, the touch, the attack, the range. All of those things became extremely important and having variables to help tell the story." [4] Since the musical style is a jazz-based, he roped in popular jazz pianist Benny Green to "improvise and manipulate the melodic content for that theme". For the prayer scene with Malcolm X, he used the duduk for that particular cue. [2]

As the filming was completed during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, scoring for the film began later that month and completed in early December 2020. Blanchard recorded the score at his home studio during the pandemic, and since he used limited instruments for the film, he felt the recording was easier and need not use the orchestral section where he had to record each orchestra separately due to restrictions. [4] The film's editor Tariq Anwar, had used temp music while editing the film, to help in the picture cutting. [5] He thought of using the solo piano for the transitions, and had downloaded several samples and played with jazz, blues and gospel, assigning different styles to the four Black icons to capture their personalities. However, Anwar had said that "Fortunately, Regina liked the idea but she didn't like the style of piano. She was keen on an Aretha Franklin's influence. She then used that to implement that in Terence Blanchard's score." [5]

On December 11, 2020, ABKCO Records officially announced the soundtrack for the film featuring 22 tracks. [6] Sam Cooke's songs — “You Send Me,” “Chain Gang,” “Good Times”, “A Change Is Gonna Come” and "Put Me Down Easy" (Hampton House version) — were performed by Leslie Odom Jr., who portrayed Cooke, and Jay Livingston and Ray Evans' song "Tammy". [2] In addition, an original song "Speak Now" was also performed by Odom Jr., who co-wrote the song with Sam Ashworth, who wrote for the former's 2019 album Mr.

Odom Jr. on writing the song "Speak Now" commented that "the producers were always very interested in whomever was cast as Sam [being] the person that would write the song for the movie. That they would take that experience of Sam and then [write a song]." [7] He then collaborated with four different songwriters to write four songs, after which King chose the track "Speak Now". He further explained on the song, saying: [7]

"The song feels a little bit like a ghost story or like a gathering around in the woods, because three of these men at least are speaking to us from beyond the grave. They're speaking to us from someplace else, and I just imagined the things that they might say and what they might ask of us right now. “Speak Now” resonated because it sounded like: Listen, your time is precious and you're not guaranteed a lot of it, so speak right now in this moment. Use your life, use everything that you are given, to make a change and to make a difference right in this moment." [7]

Jeremy Pope who played Jackie Wilson also performed Wilson's "Lonely Teardrops". [2] The One Night in Miami band also performed two of the tracks, which included Ray Charles' single "I Believe to My Soul". [6] The Hollywood Symphony Orchestra contributed to the instrumental portions of the songs. [8] [9]

The album was officially released on December 25, 2020 in digital formats, in CD on January 15 and in vinyl on March 5.

Reception

The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney complimented the score as "cool" and "jazzy". [16] Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun-Times felt that the score "beautifully augments the history-in-the-making gathering of these four icons at a pivotal moment in their lives". [17] Michael Philips of Chicago Tribune wrote "Terence Blanchard's score goes for solo jazz piano lines, nimble and expressive. This isn't a full-orchestra kind of affair; it's a jazz quartet of a play, and a movie." [18] Alex Ramon of British Film Institute called the score as "insistently jaunty". [19]

Accolades

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences disqualified Blanchard's score from the longlist of Best Original Score for the 93rd Academy Awards as it failed to meet the eligibility criteria of having 60% original music composed specifically for the film. The film accompanied several existing cues from several artists, such as Sam Cooke (whom the film is based on) and lesser number of cues. [20] [21] It also failed to be longlisted for BAFTA Award for Best Original Music at the 70th British Academy Film Awards who specified 50% original music as the eligibility criteria. [20]

Samuel Cooke was an American singer and songwriter. Considered one of the most influential soul artists of all time, Cooke is commonly referred to as the "King of Soul" for his distinctive vocals, pioneering contributions to the genre, and significance in popular music. During his eight-year career, Cooke released 29 singles that charted in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as 20 singles in the Top Ten of Billboard's Black Singles chart. In 1964, he was shot and killed by Bertha Franklin, a motel owner in Los Angeles with a prior criminal record. Franklin was later convicted in 1979 when she was found guilty of second-degree murder following another similar shooting. The courts at the time of Cooke's death ruled in favor of Franklin, stating that his death was a justifiable homicide. Cooke's family and many fans worldwide have since questioned the circumstances surrounding his death and the lack of a proper investigation. Forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril H. Wecht argued in 2017 that his death was not a justifiable homicide. Cooke was ranked No. 3 in Rolling Stone's 2023 list of the "200 Greatest Singers of All Time" and No. 28 on Billboard's 2015 list of the "35 Greatest R&B Artists of All Time".
