picture soundtrack, A Wrinkle In Time. The
soundtrack is slated to arrive on March 9, the same day the Ava DuVernay
directed movie, “A Wrinkle In Time” hits theatres.Produced by DuVernay, A Wrinkle In Time the soundtrack, features the end-credit song, “I Believe” performed by Grammy® nominated 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, with two Canadian shows – March 17 in Montreal and March 19 in Toronto.
The soundtrack also includes two versions of multi-Grammy winning artist, Sade’s, “Flower of the Universe”, one of which is a remix by No I.D. Co-written and co-produced by Sade with Ben Travers and Andrew Hale, this is her second original song contribution to a soundtrack following 1986’s, “Absolute Beginners.”
Five-time Grammy nominee and singer-songwriter Sia performs “Magic,” a song she co-wrote with fellow Grammy nominee, Jesse Shatkin, who also produced the track. Other highlights include “Let Me Live” performed by Kehlani, and “Warrior,” written and performed by sisters Chloe x Halle, the duo who first appeared in a cameo in Beyonce’s Lemonade visual album, and were subsequently invited to join as the opening act on The Formation World Tour.
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” in addition to 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.”

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.
