As a lifestyle expert with a penchant for unraveling the intricacies of modern cinema and music, I must say that Zoe Kravitz has truly outdone herself with her directorial debut, Blink Twice. The movie is a psychological thriller that masterfully combines suspense, mystery, and a tropical island setting, all while showcasing an impressive soundtrack that perfectly complements the narrative.
Zoe Kravitz’s film “Blink Twice” is a gripping psychological thriller that unfolds the tale of Frida (played by Naomi Ackie), a cocktail waitress, who receives an invitation from tech mogul Slater King (portrayed by Channing Tatum) to join him and his companions on his exclusive island retreat. As days pass on this secluded paradise, Frida encounters peculiar occurrences while seeking the truth about her surroundings and finding a means to escape.
In this film, you’ll find a collection of top-notch soundtracks from prominent artists, perfectly fitting the movie’s psychological thriller vibe and tropical island backdrop. Director Zoe Kravitz carefully selected every song included in the movie, using her musical knowledge.
The soundtrack for Blink Twice boasts tunes from R&B greats, timeless music icons, and various other genres. James Brown’s music is notably prominent throughout the film, with several of his tracks featured in the soundtrack. Towards the end, a track by Beyoncé also makes an appearance.
Here is a complete list of the songs that have been included in the movie’s soundtrack.
The Boss by James Brown
In the movie, James Brown’s 1973 song “The Boss” from his album Black Caesar is played not just once, but twice: first, as Frida listens to it while commuting to work at the Slater King gala, and then again during the last scenes of the film and the end credits.
Somebody Made for Me by Emitt Rhodes
Emitt Rhodes’ song “Somebody Made for Me” from his self-titled 1970 album is the second song in the movie soundtrack. It plays as Frida, Jess, and others arrive on the island.
Don’t Be Scared by Yoko Ono and John Lennon
The 1984 song “Don’t Be Scared,” composed by Yoko Ono and John Lennon for their joint album Milk and Honey, is included in the film. This tune is prominently played during the scene that depicts characters socializing by the pool on the initial day of their island arrival.
Jungle Fever by Chakachas
During the lively party sequences, prior to events taking a dramatic turn, the track “Jungle Fever” by Chakachas from his 1970 self-titled album is played.
Young Hearts Run Free by Candi Staton
During the evening party scene on the island, Candi Stanton’s tune “Young Hearts Run Free” from her 1976 album with the same title is heard, just prior to when Jess encounters a venomous snake.
Really, Really, Really by James Brown
In this particular scene, the upbeat track “Really, Really, Really” by James Brown from his album Slaughter’s Big Rip-Off is playing as the women gather for a fun day together, while the men are away on a fishing expedition.
Ain’t Nobody by Rufus and Chaka Khan
During a dinner scene, the tune of Rufus and Chaka Khan’s “Nobody Can Dance Like Me” plays, causing Frida and Sarah to dance on the table. This action encourages everyone else to follow suit.
I’m That Girl by Beyoncé
During a crucial scene close to the end, the track “I’m That Girl” by Beyoncé from her album Renaissance is played. This tune is distinctly audible during Sarah and Frida’s visit to the men in Act 3.
People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul by James Brown
In the film, James Brown’s song “People Get Up and Move Your Spirit” from his 1973 album Slaughter’s Big Rip-Off is played not once but twice: initially as the women dash across the yard under the cover of darkness, and later when Frida is depicted reminiscing about her experiences on the island.
2024 marks the release of “Blink Twice” on August 23rd. As of now, there’s no officially curated movie soundtrack available on platforms like Apple Music or Spotify. Instead, you can listen to the tracks exclusively within their original albums.
