Nicholas Britell - Jay Kelly (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2025) [Hi-Res]

This release is the original motion picture soundtrack for the comedy-drama "Jay Kelly", directed by Noah Baumbach (Netflix). The film stars George Clooney (as aging movie star Jay Kelly) and Adam Sandler (as his manager, Ron).

The score, composed by Baumbach's frequent collaborator Nicholas Britell, reflects the film's introspective and melancholic tone. Britell utilized analog tape recording techniques to achieve a sound that evokes nostalgia and the fading era of "Old Hollywood." The score is dominated by intimate felt piano arrangements and string quintets, which expand into full string orchestra compositions during key moments. The tracklist structurally mirrors the characters' narrative journey through Paris to Italy, alternating between light, ironic motifs ("The Carnival of Life") and deeply personal themes of memory ("Timothy Memory", "Cinema Theme").
