On February 14th, Bob Marley: One Love will arrive in theaters. Now, ahead of its theatrical release, the soundtrack to the film documenting the life of the reggae icon is available across digital platforms. It’s comprised of 17 of the legendary artist’s best-known recordings, all featured in director Reinaldo Marcus Green’s biopic.
Listen to Bob Marley and the Wailers’s One Love: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack now.
The music on the Bob Marley: One Love soundtrack is drawn from several of the albums that launched Marley to stardom: Catch a Fire (1973), Burnin’ (1973), Rastaman Vibration (1976), Exodus (1977), Kaya (1978), and Uprising (1980). A number of the songs are recognizable as featuring prominently on the multiplatinum 1984 hits compilation Legend. Known today as the bestselling reggae album of all time, Legend has spent over 800 weeks on the Billboard 200 album chart and recently surpassed sales of 18 million copies in the U.S.
The Bob Marley: One Love soundtrack is available in Dolby Atmos, mixed by Nick Rives, who also mixed the albums Legend, Exodus, Catch A Fire, and Burnin’ in Dolby Atmos in collaboration with the Marley estate.
Produced by Paramount Pictures in partnership with the Marley family, Bob Marley: One Love stars Kingsley Ben-Adir (One Night in Miami, Barbie, Peaky Blinders) as Marley, Lashana Lynch (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, No Time to Die) as his wife Rita, and James Norton (Little Women, Mr. Jones) as Island Records founder Chris Blackwell.
In addition to the soundtrack, on February 14th, Tuff Gong/Island Records will release Bob Marley: One Love (Music Inspired by the Film), a seven-song EP of fresh recordings of Marley’s compositions by Daniel Caesar, Kacey Musgraves, Wizkid, Leon Bridges, Jessie Reyes, Bloody Civilian, and Marley’s grandson Skip Marley.
“Bob’s music is filled with consciousness and messages of unity and love,” Ziggy Marley reflects ahead of the film. “His words and how he lived his life have always inspired people to be better. We’re proud to share my father’s story with this film and continue to spread his messages with his music.”
