Saleka’s Long History Of Collaboration With Her Father
M. Night Shyamalan’s Family Is Full Of Creativity
AlthoughTrapsees Saleka collaborating closely with her father, it’s far from the first time the pair have worked together on a project. Saleka is primarily a singer and songwriter, and has often written music specifically tailored to one of her father’s projects. WhenScreen Rantinterviewed Saleka forTrap, the singer/songwriter detailed that process starting with getting information from her father’s scripts. Saleka released a 14-track albumLady Raventied toTrapalone, proving the proficiency of the writer.
BeforeTrap, a high-profile collaboration between Saleka and her father was on his movieOld. Saleka wrote a song called “Remain”, which was even sung by characters in the film. On a smaller scale thanTrap, Saleka’s music still factored into the story inOld. Speaking withPopsugar, Saleka even revealed that there was a song written into the script by her father, who then requested that she be the one to write it.
Saleka also contributed a number of songs to her father’s Apple TV+ thriller seriesServant. Saleka is never on screen in the series, but she voices a ‘90s R&B singer named Vivan Dale whose music is often heard in the show. Saleka even released an album calledServant: Songs from The Atticthat contained seven songs written for the series. It certainly seems like Saleka continues to work even closer with her father on his projects, so it will be exciting to see what the pair cook up next.
Trapcomes to digital platforms on August 30, and 4K UHD and Bly-ray on November 5.
