Various Artists - We Are Who We Are (Original Series Soundtrack) (2020)

Blood Orange’s Devonté Hynes will release the score to HBO miniseries We Are Who We Are on October 2nd via Milan Records.

The album features 12 pieces written by Hynes for the coming-of-age drama, along with four previously issued instrumentals from composers Julius Eastman and John Adams. The eight-episode show — co-created, co-written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (2017’s Call Me By Your Name, the 2018 remake of horror classic Suspiria) — debuted September 14th on HBO/HBO Max and airs on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET.

As Pitchfork reports, Milan will also issue a soundtrack album on the same day. The release, curated by Guadagnino and music supervisor Robin Urdang, includes three live Blood Orange tracks recorded at Bologna’s Club Locomotiv.

The LP also features Prince (“The Love We Make”), David Bowie (“Absolute Beginners”), Radiohead (“House of Cards”), Aaron Carter (“American A O”), Giorgio Moroder and Philip Oakey (“Why Must the Show Go On”) and a cover of Sade’s “Solider of Love” by Martin Scorsese’s daughter, actress Francesca Scorsese, who appears on the show.
