Comedy-Horror Film BAD HAIR Soundtrack From Lakeshore This Friday – Score by Kris Bowers

BAD HAIR is a 2020 American comedy horror film written, directed, and produced by Justin Simien (DEAR WHITE PEOPLE), starring Vanessa Williams, Lena Waithe, Kelly Rowland, Blair Underwood, Laverne Cox, Robin Thede, and Michelle Hurd. Set in 1989, the movie follows an ambitious young woman who gets a weave in order to succeed in the image-obsessed world of music television. However, her flourishing career comes at a great cost when she realizes that her new hair may have a mind of its own. The film features an original score by Kris Bowers (GREEN BOOK, WHEN THEY SEE US; in 2018 he won a Daytime Emmy for his score for the Amazon children’s Christmas special, THE SNOWY DAY, and is set to write with Hans Zimmer the score of the 2021 film SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY) and features three songs by Kelly Rowland & Justin Simien).

BAD HAIR had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2020 and it will premiere streaming on October 23, 2020, on Hulu. A digital soundtrack releases the same date via Lakeshore Records. Listen or purchase the soundtrack via these links.
