Kid Cudi Teams Up With Saleka For “Divine”, ‘LADY RAVEN’ (Original Music From The Motion Picture TRAP) Out August 2

Following the worldwide premiere of TRAP in New York City this week, Columbia Recording artist, songwriter, musician, and producer SALEKA and GRAMMY Award-winning rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor, Kid Cudi join for her latest track, DIVINE, taken from the highly anticipated album, LADY RAVEN (Original Music From The Motion Picture TRAP) out on August 2.

LADY RAVEN (Original Music From The Motion Picture TRAP) features music composed, produced, and performed by SALEKA for the Warner Bros. Pictures film TRAP in which she makes her feature film acting debut. Featuring special guests Kid Cudi, Russ, and Amaarae, LADY RAVEN (Original Music From The Motion Picture TRAP) boasts 14 original songs, each crafted specifically to the script and narrative of the film, blending SALEKA‘s classical piano training with her distinct dark-pop-R&B production and tonality.
 
“There’s a duality to the Soundtrack,” SALEKA notes. “I wanted to make an album that could stand on its own and embody the sounds and genres I love. At the same time, every song was made for a specific scene with clear intention. Having the external storyline made the process so inspiring though. I could write in a way that was incredibly free since I wasn’t thinking about myself. I ended up editing myself less and exploring facets of my own emotions that I would be too scared to dive into without having Lady Raven to speak through.”
 
In TRAP, her character “Lady Raven” performs a powerhouse concert as a gripping and thrilling story unfolds concurrently. She penned the songs to entwine with her father’s script, so the rhythm of the music and the story symbiotically depend on one another. Simultaneously, she mined an expansive emotional and sonic spectrum.
