Miller rose from writing the go-go mega hit ‘Da Butt’ for Spike Lee’s 1988 film School Daze to becoming the go-to composer for over 20 top urban movies. Most Miller aficionados know that as a composer, Miller has an endless list of film and television credits to his name.

MARCUS MILLER LUTHER VANDROSS SONGS PROFESSIONAL
Most notable,Īfter several years of touring in Miles Davis’ band in the early 80’s, Miller developed a close professional and personal relationship with Davis which led to his collaboration on three critically acclaimed albums – the most famous being the ground-breaking album and title song Tutu, making Miller the last primary producer, arranger and composer for this great jazz legend. Miller also left an indelible mark on the careers of artists as varied and talented as David Sanborn, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Al Jarreau, Bob James, Lalah Hathaway and Wayne Shorter. It was the last # 1 R & B album for twelve years before Vandross’ mega cross-over pop hit Dance With My Father in 2001. song “Hold Us Together,” this entire soundtrack is a winner.In addition to these career highlights, Miller has a rich and very deep resume of outstanding collaborations, including a 15- year song-writing and production partnership with Luther Vandross, resulting in 13 consecutive platinum selling albums of which Miller Produced 7, and a double Grammy win in 1992 – for the double platinum selling album Power Of Love/Love Power winning “Best R & B Vocal” as well as “Best R & B Song”. Marcus Miller’s score for Safety is one of the best of the year and the track order on the Safety Original Soundtrack takes listeners on a fantastic auditory journey. And the main theme becomes almost rock and roll on “Family, Right?” Miller also has fun with themes that are otherwise side on the score, like on “We Need Help,” where one of the score’s saddest themes becomes an uptempo jazz track. “Don’t Make a Sound” is a modern jazz standout that differs from much of the score, which follows Ray as he sneaks his brother around the dorm.

In some cases, score tracks feel more like songs, as is the case with the groovy track “Gonna Be Alright (I Got You Brother)m” which features singers expressing the track’s title over an R&B beat. It’s the kind of track that can lift you out of a funk and make you feel ready to tackle the day’s challenges. It picks up and builds in the latter half to something that feels truly epic. It starts with the slowest and saddest of them, one that often underscores tension in Ray’s life, progressing into the optimistic theme that follows his achievements and kicks off the film. At 10-minutes in length, it’s also the best choice for someone looking to buy just one track digitally that incorporates most of the film’s themes. For example, the finale, “One Family For Another/Four and a Half,” is track 6 instead of 22. The Safety Original Soundtrack arranged tracks in order to create an optimal listening experience rather than giving them to you in the order they appear in the film. My one regret is that the album doesn’t include the drumline version of the Walt Disney Pictures intro used in the film. Marcus Miller has a lot of fun with the college setting by incorporating drumline instruments into the score. This score was one of the highlights of the film for me with a very inspiring main melody. The rest of the soundtrack consists of 21 score tracks from composer Marcus Miller, himself a Grammy-winner who has worked with the likes of Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin and Miles Davis. The themes of the song perfectly match the relationship in the film between Ray and his brother Fahmarr. Due to streaming rights, you might have to search for it separately on streaming platforms. It’s a beautiful, powerful and moving song. called “Hold Us Together,” an acoustic ballad with a big score accompanying the Grammy-winning singer.
