Soundtracking with Edith Bowman

Our latest episode of Soundtracking is one of our faves, as David Lowery returns for a fourth time to discuss the music of Mother Mary - recorded at a special event hosted by our good friends at Spotify. Starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, it tells the story of a iconic popstar whose reunion with a former costume designer forces her to confront her past. Mother Mary features several original songs, which David put together with the help of FKA Twigs, Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff. Regular co-collaborator, Daniel Hart, meanwhile provides the score. We also hear from Billie Elish and James Cameron, in an interview you can watch in full at our Youtube channel, Soundtracking Extra.

It's a very special episode of Soundtracking, as we bring you the first part of our live recording with composer Oliver Coates, recorded at St Luke's Church as part of the London Soundtrack Festival in partnership with our very good friends at Milan Records. We cannot tell you how much work Oliver put into the event - going way above and beyond the expectations for an average Q&A. So it is that you'll hear him breaking down cues, deconstructing clips from films he's worked on and whipping out (and performing on) his beloved cello.

It's bonus time, folks, as writer / director Alice Winocour joins us to discuss her film, Couture, which is available to watch right now on home entertainment platforms. Starring Angelina Jolie, it tells the story of an American filmmaker in Paris during the chaos of fashion week, whose troubled path crosses those of a veteran makeup artist and newly discovered young model, and explores themes relating to cancer that are very close to Edith's heart.

Our latest guests on Soundtracking are writer/director Charlotte Regan and composer Patrick Jonsson, who join us to discuss their collaboration on BBC crime/romance drama, Mint. Mint tells the story of a Scottish crime family and a budding romance between Shannon, played by Emma Laird, and Arran, played by Ben Coyle-Larner, two young lovers from rival firms.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Lee Sung Jin, aka Sonny Lee, creator of and driving force behind the multi-award winning Netflix comedy drama, Beef. Sonny joins us ahead of season two, which streams on Netflix from Thursday 16th April and boasts an entirely new cast including Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan. Sonny LOVES his music, and we go into many of the needle drops which are such an integral feature of the show, as well as Fineas O'Connell's score.
