Sinners (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) accompanies the 2025 supernatural horror film Sinners, written and directed by Ryan Coogler. The soundtrack features a blend of original score and curated music that reflects the film’s deep roots in blues, spirituals, and traditional American music, with contributions from Ludwig Göransson, a frequent Coogler collaborator known for Black Panther, Creed and Tenet. Göransson’s work on Sinners draws from Delta blues and roots traditions, integrating historic textures with contemporary performance in support of the film’s 1930s Mississippi setting and its blend of horror and cultural narrative.
Release: The Sinners soundtrack and score were released on April 18, 2025 by Sony Masterworks / Sony Music labels, coinciding with the film’s theatrical debut. The main soundtrack album includes 22 tracks performed by a range of artists and collaborators, while the original score is also issued separately; the combined duration of the soundtrack release runs roughly 72 minutes and is available for streaming and download on major platforms, including Apple Music and Amazon Music.
Music Description: The Sinners soundtrack marries historic blues forms, gospel influences, and original compositions to create an immersive musical experience grounded in the film’s cultural milieu. Performances range from soulful vocal pieces and traditional hymns to original songs and instrumental score cues, offering both narrative resonance and period authenticity.
Licensed Music Note: The soundtrack is built around performances incorporated into the film’s world, including songs performed by cast members and contemporary artists; these tracks serve narrative functions within Sinners rather than existing solely as licensed “needle‑drops.”
