BURBANK, Calif., Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Walt Disney
Records is set to release the digital version of the original
motion picture soundtrack to Disney's "A Wrinkle in Time," from
visionary director Ava DuVernay on
March 9th as the film
opens in theaters nationwide.
The soundtrack was produced by DuVernay and features the
end-credit song "I Believe" performed by Grammy® nominated and
multi-platinum selling artists DJ Khaled featuring Demi Lovato. The song was written by
Khaled, Lovato, Denisia "Blu June" Andrews and Brittany "Chi" Coney
and was produced by Khaled. Both artists are embarking on a
20-date North American tour beginning February 26 in San
Diego, CA.
The soundtrack also includes two versions of "Flower of the
Universe" performed by Sade, one of which is a remix by No
I.D. The multi-Grammy winning and multi-platinum selling
artist also co-wrote and co-produced the track with Ben Travers and Andrew
Hale. This is Sade's second original song contribution to a
soundtrack following 1986's "Absolute Beginners."
Five-time Grammy nominee singer-songwriter Sia performs "Magic,"
a song she also co-wrote with Grammy nominated producer-songwriter
Jesse Shatkin. Shatkin also
produced the track.
Grammy nominated artist Kehlani performs "Let Me Live."
Kehlani released her debut chart-topping album,
SweetSexySavage last year and will also be touring
North America with Lovato and
Khaled.
Also included is "Warrior," written and performed by sisters
Chloe x Halle. The duo made a cameo in Beyonce's
Lemonade visual album and were subsequently invited to join
as the opening act on The Formation World Tour. The
sisters released their debut EP, Sugar Symphony, in 2016 and
are currently series regulars on Freeform's "Grown-ish."
The "A Wrinkle in Time" score is composed, conducted and
produced by Ramin Djawadi. The German-born composer has
scored over 100 projects including blockbuster films such as
"Pacific Rim," "Iron Man" and
"Clash of the Titans" and celebrated television scores including
"Game of Thrones," "Westworld," "Prison Break" and "The
Strain."
The Grammy and Emmy®-nominated composer recorded the score in
Los Angeles with a 71-piece
orchestra and a 29-person choir, as well as a 24-member children's
choir.
Speaking about the artists and composer, DuVernay said: "Each
song on the 'Wrinkle in Time' soundtrack was crafted with great
care in close collaboration with the artists. My creative
partnership with Sade on 'Flower of the Universe' was so connected
that I reverse engineered the usual process and used her lyrics as
actual dialogue within the film. I truly loved working with DJ
Khaled who jumped into this project with open arms and an open
heart, along with the great Demi Lovato.
Sia, Kehlani and Chloe x Halle beautifully embraced the
visuals of the film to create distinct songs that expand and
elevate Meg's heroic journey. And working with Ramin
Djawadi was a dream come true as I have been a long-time
admirer of his stellar work. His musical compositions for the film
are perfectly otherworldly."

About "A Wrinkle in Time":
Disney's "A Wrinkle in
Time" is an epic adventure based on Madeleine L'Engle's timeless
classic which takes audiences across dimensions of time and space,
examining the nature of darkness versus light and, ultimately, the
triumph of love. Through one girl's transformative journey led by
three celestial guides, we discover that strength comes from
embracing one's individuality and that the best way to triumph over
fear is to travel by one's own light.
Meg Murry is a typical middle
school student struggling with issues of self-worth who just wants
to fit in. The daughter of two world-renowned physicists, she is
intelligent and uniquely gifted, as is Meg's younger brother,
Charles Wallace, but she has yet to
realize it for herself. Complicating matters is the mysterious
disappearance of Mr. Murry, which has left Meg devastated and her
mother broken-hearted. Charles
Wallace introduces Meg and her fellow classmate Calvin to
three celestial beings (Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who) who
have journeyed to Earth to help search for their father, and
together they embark on their formidable quest. Travelling via a
wrinkling of time and space known as tessering, they are
transported to worlds beyond their imagination where they must
confront a powerful evil force. To make it back home to Earth, Meg
must face the darkness within herself in order to harness the
strength necessary to defeat the darkness rapidly enveloping the
Universe.
