Emergence

Directed Sorry to Bother You led Boots Riley

While the actual film score for Sorry to Bother You of Tune-Yards comes, contributed Boots Riley's band The Coup in the soundtrack for the film. He also directed the film. In an interview with Max Cea from Billboard Magazine , he said there are two musical worlds in the film. One is the music that Tune-Yards contributed, which he calls the “musical voice of the film” and comments on what happens in the film. And then there is the soundtrack, which comes from The Coup and expresses everything that happens in the world shown in the film. This music is also what the characters in the film can hear in their world, but not the film music. Riley had worked with Merrill Garbus, the singer of the Tune-Yards, from early 2015. Some of the music was already available at the time of filming. Riley had originally planned to use the music for his 2012 album Sorry to Bother You for the film, as he had already written the script for the film of the same name, but after filming was completed he found that the aesthetics of this music were not matched the movie he'd made. So they produced a whole new soundtrack in the post-production phase.

The soundtrack also features songs by Janelle Monáe , Killer Mike , E-40 and other artists.
