MUBI RELEASES THE OFFICIAL CLIP FROM 'DIE, MY LOVE'

The scene, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, is set to Billie Holiday’s “Lover Man,” a song written specifically for her by Jimmy Davis, Roger “Ram” Ramirez, and James Sherman. By this time, Holiday was already a major jazz star but was facing deep personal and emotional struggles, including substance abuse, romantic heartbreak, and the pervasive racism that affected both her personal life and career.

The recording session for the song took place on April 4, 1944, and Decca released the track in 1945. It became one of Holiday’s biggest hits, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard Harlem Hit Parade and No. 16 on the pop charts—a rare crossover success for a Black jazz singer of that era.

With Music Supervision by Raife Burchell and Ian Neil, ‘Die, My Love’ is in theatres from November 7.

THE FIRST POSTERS FOR 'DIE MY LOVE' JUST DROPPED

'SISTER MIDNIGHT' OST ON VINYL

I was honoured when Interpol’s Paul Banks asked me to play drums on his score for Karan Kandhari’s debut feature, Sister Midnight. Last week, Partisan Records released the film’s soundtrack.

Karan said of Paul’s work, “His music doesn’t appear as a traditional score. This is not background music — these are musical centerpieces married to the most crucial scenes in the film. Also, it takes real talent to go toe-to-toe against the Stooges and Motörhead on a soundtrack, and Paul does this effortlessly. I’m so happy fans get to hear not only the music he made that was on screen but a whole host of unreleased gems from his sessions.” 

‘Sister Midnight’ was nominated for Outstanding British Debut at this year’s Bafta Awards, and nominated at Cannes Film Festival for the Golden Camera award and in Director’s Fortnight, and also nominated for four Bifa awards, and won Best Picture in the Next Wave Award at Austin’s Fantastic Fest.

Thanks for having me along for the psychedelic ride gents.
