I’m Your Woman: Score By Aska Matsumiya Debuts, Amazon Original Starring Rachel Brosnahan Now Streaming!

I'm Your Woman Soundtrack - Aska Matsumiya

Lakeshore Records has released I’m Your Woman—Amazon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack featuring striking music by Aska Matsumiya (“Betty”, After Yang, “Selah and the Spades”). The main theme founded on a minimal, yet melodic piano anchoring the score transforms unexpectedly into a much darker work, as synths and strings are added, providing a tension-filled backdrop to the modern noir thriller.  See the album tracklist and purchase link below.

The Amazon Original directed by Julia Hart and starring Rachel Brosnahan, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Arinzé Kene, with Frankie Faison and Bill Heck is now streaming on Prime Video.

“Aska Matsumiya’s subtle piano score oscillates between ominous and searching (with echoes of David Shire’s ‘The Conversation’ compositions), pointing toward an enigma that requires the story’s full arc to settle in.” – IndieWire
