The soundtrack for Marvel's blockbuster sequel has been released, and it includes the Rihanna-led single "Lift Me Up," which is a tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman.
Rihanna's first solo release since 2016, with the Tems-penned song being released last month.
The soundtrack album's details were revealed by Roc Nation Records, Def Jam Recordings, and Hollywood Records ahead of the film's theatrical release.
Burna Boy, Fireboy DML, Tobe Nwigwe, Snow Tha Product, E-40, Tems covers Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry," Future collaborates with OG DAYV on "Limoncello," and more appear on the 19-track compilation.
The soundtrack album was produced by director Ryan Coogler, composer Ludwig Göransson, Archie Davis (Chief Creative Officer at Def Jam), and Dave Jordan.
Ludwig Göransson, the soundtrack composer, stated that they spent over 2500 hours recording the score and soundtrack in six studios across three continents and five countries.
Göransson went on to say that they wanted to shift the audience's focus from grief to celebration.
