SONG ONE SOUNDTRACK DOUBLE COLORED-VINYL TO BE RELEASED
Featuring Original Songs By Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice
With Performances by The Film’s Johnny Flynn, Ben Rosenfeld and Anne Hathaway
“SONG ONE is set within the music scene of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, at clubs including the Bowery Ballroom and the Music Hall of Williamsburg, and contains characters such as ‘Tattooed Hipster’ and ‘Handlebar Moustache Doorman’(!). The soundtrack features Brooklyn musicians Sharon Van Etten and Elizabeth Simon. But it’s not a film about the burg and its hipster denizens.” – The Village Voice
(May 11, 2015– Los Angeles, CA) – Phineas Atwood, in conjunction with Lakeshore Records, will release the SONG ONE – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack on vinyl May 19, 2015. The album will be a limited edition double LP on colored vinyl (one arctic white, the other turquoise swirl), featuring original songs performed by the film’s Johnny Flynn and written by Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley, The Postal Service, Jenny and Johnny) and Johnathan Rice (Jenny and Johnny) creating an gate-fold album that is an amazing souvenir of the film and a great standalone indie record!
“I didn’t set out to write a cool Brooklyn movie,” explained Barker-Froyland. “It’s really about how a single song can bring back memories. It can transport you immediately, but it can also help you live in the moment. My goal was to capture the emotional impact of that.”
Oscar® winner Anne Hathaway (INTERSTELLAR, LES MISERABLES) stars as Franny in SONG ONE, a romantic drama set against the backdrop of Brooklyn’s vibrant modern-folk music scene. After Franny’s musician brother Henry (Ben Rosenfield, BOARDWALK EMPIRE) is injured and hospitalized in a coma following a car accident, Franny returns home after a long estrangement and begins to use his notebook as a guide to how his life has evolved in her absence. Franny seeks out the musicians and artists Henry loved, in the course of her journey meeting James Forester (Johnny Flynn), his musical idol, whose success and fame belie a shy and private man. As a strong romantic connection develops between Franny and James, the question becomes if love can bloom even under the most adverse circumstances. The film also stars Oscar® winner Mary Steenburgen (THE HELP) and was produced by Jonathan Demme (RACHEL GETTING MARRIED, PHILADELPHIA).
The character of James Forester had, years earlier, released a first album to great acclaim, but now finds himself crippled by writer’s block after that early success. “The idea of a ‘song one’ encapsulates the nature of creating— the process of starting from scratch and starting over,” said Barker-Froyland. The duo of Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice, aka Jenny and Johnny, were brought in to write the original songs for the film.
“One of the reasons this project became so attractive to Jenny and I,” said Rice, “Is it allowed us an opportunity not to write about ourselves. We were writing for this other character, plumbing his depths.”
Said Lewis, “music is such a conduit between people—a melody can be lovely and healing even if the story is very sad. It’s a brave choice of Kate’s, as a director, to dedicate whole scenes to just music-playing, to play through a whole song. Music’s doing all the talking in a lot of these scenes.”
The SONG ONE–Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, featuring original music by Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice, performed by Johnny Flynn, will be available as a double-LP colored vinyl on May 19, 2015. SONG ONE was released in theaters on January 20th by The Film Arcade and Cinedigm and is currently available on Digital HD and Blu-Ray.
