Sorry to Bother You

Description

Tune-Yards’ original score for Boots Riley’s acclaimed 2018 film ‘Sorry to Bother You’, starring Lakeith Stanfield and Tessa Thompson. The score for the surrealist social satire film has been praised by Billboard as ‘a simultaneously erratic and ecstatic medley of instruments and vocal layering’. It follows the 2018 release of ‘Sorry to Bother You: The Soundtrack’, by The Coup. Director Boots Riley described the score as ‘the film’s musical voice’ and explains the difference between the score and the soundtrack: ‘The characters can’t hear [the score]; the soundtrack, the characters can [hear]’. The score also includes dialogue samples from the film and four bonus tracks never before heard in the film. The bonus tracks feature up-and-coming Oakland artists including Chhoti Maa as well as Lyrics Born and Lateef the Truthspeaker.
