The soundtrack is now available on streaming platforms. Waxwork Records is also releasing a deluxe double LP vinyl edition and CD formats, with vinyl available for preorder at www.waxworkrecords.com.
The vinyl release is presented in gatefold packaging and offered in two variants: an iridescent “Molten” edition and a Waxwork Records exclusive “Inkblot” pressing. The package includes a 12” x 12” art print.
The score was composed by Academy Award®, Golden Globe®, Emmy®, two-time Grammy®, and BAFTA®-winning composer Hildur Guðnadóttir.
“We wanted the Wedding March for The Bride! to be monstrous and intimate. Punk and classical. Romantic and roaring. All at once. A sonic rollercoaster. It was an absolute dream to record with some of my guitar heroes—to be in a punk band with them. And to have a classical orchestra playing live through thunderous amps and distortion. What a blast! Here comes The Bride!” said Guðnadóttir.
Director, writer, and producer Maggie Gyllenhaal also addressed the musical direction of the film.
“It was hard to find the tone for the music in this movie, because it had to be both punk, not as a genre, but as a feeling and romantic. Deeply romantic and emotional, it had to be all those things. We also had to take these monsters, these iconic monsters, absolutely seriously. It’s not camp. The tone of the music was really hard to land on. There wasn’t any temp music that worked in the language of the movie, so Hildur really had to invent it. And I think she found that mix of real punk and deep, deep romance. We had Lee Ranaldo playing wild Sonic Youth-style guitar layered over full orchestra. We had David Murray playing saxophone alongside Fever Ray. None of those elements alone would have worked, it had to be a blend. This film is a weaving of genres and tones, and the music had to reflect that,” said Gyllenhaal.
Karin Dreijer of Fever Ray commented on participating in the project.
“I’m very thankful for being invited to this project by Maggie Gyllenhaal! I was a fan before, but when I read the manuscript for the first time, I was hooked. The language of The Bride! is poetic, fun and magical, exactly where I like to exist,” said Dreijer.
The soundtrack includes 28 tracks featuring contributions from Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessie Buckley, Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks, Fever Ray, and The Bride! Orchestra.
The Bride! is directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and stars Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures in theaters and IMAX® in North America on March 6, 2026, and internationally beginning March 4, 2026.

LOS ANGELES, March 14, 2025 (ENTERTAINMENT INTERVIEWS) — Entertainment investment firm HarbourView Equity Partners has announced that a new documentary on multi-GRAMMY-winning artist Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds is now in production.

The film will follow Edmonds as he reflects on his career, discusses his songwriting and producing process, and revisits his collaborations with artists including Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown, Eric Clapton, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey, Lil Wayne, Beyoncé, Madonna and SZA, according to the company.
Edmonds has won 13 GRAMMY® Awards and received 83 nominations. His work has contributed to more than 800 million records sold and over a billion records streamed. In addition to his solo career, Edmonds and Antonio “L.A.” Reid founded LaFace Records in 1989, a label known for launching the careers of Toni Braxton, Outkast, Usher, TLC, P!nk, Ciara, Goodie Mob, T.I. and Donnell Jones.
The documentary will include interviews with Edmonds, access to his personal archive and behind-the-scenes footage of his upcoming shows in Las Vegas.
“I’ve often wondered how an unassuming kid from Indianapolis got to where he is today, working with artists and achieving dreams I could’ve never imagined when I first started. This documentary is giving me a chance to go down memory lane with a fine-tooth comb, reexamining the highs and lows of my life and career. I’m discovering where all the songs really came from – and perhaps just as important, the how and why,” said Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds.
“Babyface and his music has always been part of the soundtrack of my life. His imprint on the music world is massive and I feel really honored to be even a small part in sharing his story through directing this film,” said director Chris Moukarbel.
“At HarbourView, we’re passionate about investing in stories and creators who’ve shaped culture in lasting ways. Babyface’s influence on music and artistry is immeasurable – his songs have defined generations. We’re proud to support this project celebrating his genius, legacy, and the emotional honesty behind his work,” said Sherrese Clarke, Founder & CEO, HarbourView Equity Partners.
“Babyface is one of one – a culture-defining hitmaker whose impact cannot be denied or overstated. We’re honored to be a part of telling his story and grateful that we’re teaming with Harbourview, a company that understands the importance of investing in culture and storytelling like this, to do so. I hope this project not only spotlights Babyface's remarkable career but also gives people a glimpse into the man behind the musical genius, who just might be one of the funniest motherf---ers I’ve ever met,” said producer Kenya Barris.
HarbourView Equity Partners is financing and producing the film. UTA Independent Film Group is representing the sale.
