Ava DuVernay Enlists Sade & Chloe x Halle For ‘A Wrinkle In Time’ Soundtrack

‘Black Panther’ fever is still hot and heavy but we’re already getting ourselves worked up for the release of Ava DuVernay’s Disney movie, ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ starring Oprah Winfrey and Mindy Kaling.

Ahead of it’s March release, DuVernay announced yesterday (Feb 20th) that the legendary Sade will be creating a song for the movie’s soundtrack.

“I never thought she’d say yes, but asked anyway. She was kind + giving. A goddess. We began a journey together that I’ll never forget. Proud to announce that Sade has created an original song for WRINKLE IN TIME. It’s entitled “Flower of the Universe.” And it’s a dream come true,”
DuVernay gushed.

DuVernay also announced several other artists – including ‘grown-ish’ stars Chloe x Halle and R&B singer Kehlani, who would be featuring on the soundtrack in a series of tweets.

My hope was to gather dynamic women artists to craft a majestic soundtrack for Meg’s journey. Demi, thank you for “I BELIEVE.” With our brother, @djkhaled, you made magic. https://t.co/JyUYg1CMZ2

WRINKLE IN TIME was made w/ love for young people. To share ideas about being a light in this often dark world. The new song “Warrior” by the phenoms @chloexhalle often makes me cry – with joy for the future. They are wonderful young women who help me hope. Thank you, ladies! pic.twitter.com/IZMyL0oEnQ

Happy to share that WRINKLE IN TIME’s soundtrack also includes original music by none other than Sia. I remember being blown away by her SPEAKING VOICE ON THE PHONE. So when she shared the song she wrote for Meg, I was spellbound. It’s called “Magic.” And it is. Thank you, @Sia. pic.twitter.com/PioLASDipQ

Last but not least, I am in love with the music of a young woman hailing from Oakland. Her vibe. Her voice. Her vision for herself. It’s all beautiful. Kehlani’s original song “Let Me Live” is the first heard while watching WRINKLE IN TIME. It’s all about Meg’s inner life. A gem. pic.twitter.com/Slc3yuIyWQ
