Milan Records is excited to announce the release of THE STARLING (SOUNDTRACK FROM THE NETFLIX FILM) with score music by Benjamin Wallfisch (Blade Runner 2049, The Invisible Man). Available everywhere Friday, September 24, the soundtrack is comprised of fifteen original score tracks by composer Benjamin Wallfisch, as well as two original vocal tracks from chart-topping folk band Judah & the Lion and GRAMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter of the indie pop band fun. Nate Ruess. A moving story of grief and courage, The Starling premiered on Netflix Friday, September 24.
"It's great to be working again with Sony/Milan on this new score release - my second collaboration with master filmmaker and good friend, Ted Melfi, for his beautiful and poignant new movie, The Starling. I'd like to call out in particular Huw Watkins, who performed all the piano solos during our Abbey Road scoring sessions. Huw brought an incredible depth, warmth, and subtlety to the recordings through his playing and, along with the Chamber Orchestra of London accompanying him, took the music to a whole other level. A huge thank you to all the musicians involved, and of course to Ted for inviting me." – Benjamin Wallfisch
ABOUT THE STARLING - After Lilly (Melissa McCarthy) suffers a loss, a battle with a territorial bird (The Starling) over dominion of her garden provides an unlikely avenue for her grief and the courage to heal her relationships and rediscover her capacity for love.
