Paul Mescal makes his debut as a recording artist on the soundtrack for 'Carmen,' which stars the actor and Melissa Barrera in an update of the classic Georges Bizet opera.
In a clip from the Benjamin Millepied-directed film, Mescal delivers the track — one of the original songs co-written by Oscar-nominated composer Nicholas Britell — on acoustic guitar., I remember feeling strongly that I didn’t want to ‘update’ or ‘re-arrange’ any of Bizet’s music. There are already so many incredible adaptations of “We wanted our approach to be quite different: to write an original score and original songs, imagining this as a from a parallel universe.
Millepied added, “Nicholas and I spoke about the music for the film for years before we began production. The original evokes a complex tapestry of cultures. We wanted to include those as well as remain open to and discover other influences that emerged from our own exploration. I asked Nicholas to write a few pieces ahead of time—dances and songs, but also score. His music inspired such visceral imagery and atmosphere. Our collaboration was a dance of sorts.
The Carmen soundtrack also features songs co-written by songwriters Taura Stinson and Julieta Venegas and rapper and Dr. Dre collaborator Tracy “The D.O.C.” Curry, who returns to music for the film .
