With the highly anticipated, October 14 release date of ‘Till’ nearing, expect to see and hear much in the coming days about the film that chronicles the story of activist and humanitarian Mamie Till-Mobley and her son, Emmett Till, whose brutal murder is credited for putting a national spotlight on the civil rights movement.
Directed by Chinonye Chukwu, ‘Till’ stars Danielle Deadwyler in the lead role and features notable names like Whoopi Goldberg, Jalyn Hall, Frankie Faison, Jayme Lawson, Tosin Cole, and many more.
Already buzzing on the lips of industry analysts for its potential for Oscar gold in the 2023, the movie may also be set to land an Academy Award nod for the music that lines its soundtrack.
The first taste of that comes courtesy of GRAMMY-winning R&B diva Jazmine Sullivan who lends the power tune, ‘Stand Up.’ Hear it inside.
The ‘Till’ soundtrack is expected to land on digital shelves the same day as its parent film.

I had good feelings about this song from the small part I heard in the trailer. The full song is even better than I thought it would be. I love that it’s not the typical ballad. The tempo, melody, lyrics and vocals are all excellent. Engrave her Emmy now!
More Black Death glorification
Well that’s the narrative until BP get tired of being the world’s punching bag.
