Kelly, Anthony Hamilton, John Legend, Monica, Marsha Ambrosius, Ne-Yo and Emeli Sanda (names might be added) will be coming together to appear on 13 soundtracks for “The Best Man Holiday” film, one of the most anticipated black Christmas movies this year. The artists will be working on the brand new tracks as well as some other Holiday classics from October 29 via RCA Records for the film.
About The Soundtracks
According to the film’s writer and director, Malcom D. Lee, “I am a firm believer that music is essential to the entirety of a film going experience. The Best Man Holiday soundtrack is no exception. The songs listed here (See Track list below) not only make up the fabric of the movie, but many served as inspiration to the creation of the screenplay. With a combination of new R&B tunes and Christmas classics by contemporary artists, this is the soundtrack I heard accompanying this movie. I hope you enjoy it this holiday season and every year.”
Malcom D. Lee will further serve as the executive album producer, with songs produced by an elite team of multi-award-winning producers including Harmony Samuels, The Underdogs, R. Kelly, David Foster, John Legend, Jermaine Dupri, Ne-Yo, Steve Daly, Greg Pagani and Charlie Wilson.
