Genre: Cinematic/Soundtrack
Label: Young
Release date:
He drew inspiration from Hallgren's counsel, her narrative frames, and Obama's life and musical tastes -- he listened to her playlists in preparation. These 15 cues clock in at just over 30 minutes, offering an enforced brevity that presented a challenge: His recordings can reach three hours. To help fulfill his vision, Washington enlisted longtime compatriots the West Coast Get Down collective.
