Soundtrack Album Features New Music by
Miguel, Cheryl K Featuring Awkwafina, Jasmine
Chen, and More
Score Album Features the Music of Award-Winning
Composer Brian Tyler
WaterTower Music is pleased to announce the August 10 release of
two albums of music from director Jon M. Chu’s film “Crazy Rich
Asians,” a contemporary romantic comedy based on the acclaimed
worldwide bestseller by Kevin Kwan, that will be in theaters
Wednesday, August 15. One album will be comprised of songs from the
film, and the second album will feature composer Brian Tyler’s
spirited score.
The 14-song Crazy Rich Asians: Original Motion Picture
Soundtrack album features several new recordings made for the
film, including Miguel’s song “Vote,” recorded for the end
title sequence; and covers of the classics “Money (That’s What I
Want)” by Cheryl K feat. Awkwafina, “Yellow” by
Katherine Ho (from The Voice 2016), “Can’t Help
Falling In Love” by Kina Grannis, and more. Also highlighted
on the soundtrack is the inclusion of several songs performed in
Mandarin Chinese.
“It all comes together in this eclectic tapestry,” explained
director Jon M. Chu about the music. “From old to new and remixed,
to rap and hip-hop and jazz—and then, on top of that, we have our
amazing composer Brian Tyler, who brings in a giant orchestra like
an old Hollywood movie.”
The Crazy Rich Asians: Original Motion Picture Score
features the music of award-winning composer Brian Tyler, who
composed a vibrant and varied score blending elements of old school
big band jazz music with classic romantic string scores and
traditional music from Asia.
“Jon and I wanted to really make a splash with this score in a
way that touched upon the classic film style of the great romantic
comedies of old Hollywood with the charisma and beauty of Asian
culture,” explained Tyler.
“The idea of combining the spontaneity of jazz with the scope of
classic orchestra was a dream. That kind of musicianship on hand
combined with such a wide sonic palette enabled me to represent
both the sophistication of the crazy rich characters in the film as
well as the deep emotional resonance of the central love story,”
continued the composer. “The jazz music provided a fun wild
throwback tone and the strings brought the main themes to life in a
way that articulates both the love and loss in relationships -
familial and romantic. This movie makes you laugh and it makes you
cry. I adore this film and Jon Chu’s brilliant direction and am so
proud of what we made together. I was fortunate to be brought on
board to bring this music to life.”
