Marvel's latest film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings partnered with Interscope Records to deliver a star-studded soundtrack. Executive producers Sean Miyashiro and 88rising wanted the production to highlight Asian artists, particularly those on the rise, and it was a delightful pairing with the action-adventure film.
“The music on this album is the beating heart of our film,” said director Destin Daniel Cretton in a statement. “As we were editing Shang-Chi, we were constantly inspired by the early recordings coming in from these incredible musicians. When I first spoke to [Sean Miyashiro, founder of 88rising] about the idea for this album, we knew we wanted it to stand alone as a piece of work, but also be wrapped in the themes of our movie... themes of family, legacy, pain and healing. We also just wanted to make a really great album that gives us all another reason to celebrate. I couldn’t be more excited to share this music and these artists with the world.”
Features on the soundtrack include looks from Anderson .Paak, Jhené Aiko, Swae Lee, Guapdad 4000, Rich Brian, Earthgang, Saweetie, and many more. Stream Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: The Album and share your thoughts.
