Sinners soundtrack: All the songs in Ryan Coogler's horror including Hailee Steinfeld original
Music is at the centre of the excellent new film – with everything from blues to Irish folk music playing a vital role.
The latter is hardly surprising. The film's original score, courtesy of Oscar and Grammy winner Ludwig Göransson, stands on its own merit.
Like the film, which stars Michael B Jordan as gangster twins in 1930s Mississippi, it's a powerful vehicle for social commentary – and a highly enjoyable ride.
It features originals performed by Jordan's co-stars Miles Caton, who played Sammie, and Hailee Steinfeld, and was heavily influenced by the blues.
Speaking of the genre's impact, co-star Delroy Lindo told RadioTimes.com, "My appreciation for the music has increased, of course, as a result of doing this film and becoming much more aware of the history, the prodigious history of this music, what the music represents, what the history represents, and how foundational it is."

What is Hailee Steinfeld's song on the Sinners soundtrack?
The soundtrack album (which has been released in full in line with the film) also has some more surprises in store for fans, including Dangerous, a new original song by star Hailee Steinfeld – her first new track in two years.
"It was such a surreal experience, coming off of this movie, feeling so, so deeply inspired as a person, but as an actor and as a musician, with how heavily present music is in this film, getting the opportunity to collaborate with this project musically was a dream," she explained to RadioTimes.com.
"And to write this song and lyrically tap into Mary and her relationship with Stack and trying to sort of encapsulate that deep desire to simply just be together when it's not so simple under circumstances that aren't so simple. And maybe that's a little bit selfish of her.
"The song is called Dangerous, and it sort of, I think... I hope evokes that vulnerability that a lot of these characters have.
"But it was so amazing to sort of, like, be in both worlds, you know? Having played Mary and understanding the sort of inside of her, and then, you know, be on the outside of it now and write a song, sort of from her perspective mixed with my own, was quite fun."
