The official soundtrack album for The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be released on November 4th. On Wednesday, the tracklist for the soundtrack album titled “Music From Inspired By” was revealed, and it includes prominent acts such as Future, Burna Boy, Tems, Ckay, Fireboy DML, E-40, and many more.
The soundtrack also includes Rihanna’s “Life Me Up,” the lead single. The song, which was released last week, is a tribute to Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, who died in 2020 from colon cancer.
Because the film was inspired by Nigerian and Mesoamerican cultures, the soundtrack was recorded in Lagos, Nigeria, as well as Mexico City and Abbey Road in London. According to Billboard, the audience will hear over 250 musicians, two orchestras, two choirs, and 40 vocalists throughout the film.
Ludwig Göransson, the soundtrack’s co-producer, stated that he and Ryan Coogler discussed the importance of creating an immersive journey of sound and voice during the soundtrack’s creation. “If we used a song in the film, it had to be the entire song and have a connection to the story. We wanted to transition the audience from grief to celebration. You can close your eyes and relive the movie experience by listening to the soundtrack. That was the plan all along.”
The soundtrack will be released on November 4th through Roc Nation Records, Def Jam Recordings, and Hollywood Records. The film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be released in theatres on November 11th.
