SALEKA SHYAMALAN RELEASES LATEST TRACK, “SAVE ME,” FROM ‘LADY RAVEN’

Columbia Recording artist, songwriter, musician, and producer SALEKA has revealed another track, titled “Save Me”, taken from her highly anticipated album, LADY RAVEN (Original Music From The Motion Picture TRAP) out on August 2. “Save Me” continues to showcase SALEKA’s ability to write and produce for the screen. Her sleek production on this R&B/Rumba-inspired track revolves around off-kilter guitar, finger-snaps, boisterous horns, and lush string-spiked beats, while she pleads, “save me from myself,” a nod to the thriller’s unnerving narrative set to unfold in this highly anticipated M. Night Shyamalan-directed film.

LADY RAVEN (Original Music From The Motion Picture TRAP) features music composed, produced, and performed by SALEKA for the Warner Bros. Pictures film TRAP in which she makes her feature film acting debut. Featuring special guests Kid Cudi, Russ, and Amaarae, LADY RAVEN (Original Music From The Motion Picture TRAP) boasts 14 original songs, each crafted specifically to the script and narrative of the film, blending SALEKA’s classical piano training with her distinct dark-pop-R&B production and tonality.

“There’s a duality to the Soundtrack,” SALEKA notes. “I wanted to make an album for me that’s in a genre I love. At the same time, every song was made for a specific scene with clear intention. Having the external storyline made the process even freer though. I could write in a way that was even more
authentic since I wasn’t thinking about me. So, I didn’t edit myself as much. I expressed another side of who I am.”

TRAP stars SALEKA alongside Oppenheimer’s Josh Hartnett, a doting father taking his teen daughter to an arena concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event. The story, taking place in near-real time, is interwoven into the concert itself, during which SALEKA gives an exhilarating
onstage performance as the fictional artist “Lady Raven.”
