Miss Bala (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

• Track Listing

Sony Music proudly announces the release of Miss Bala (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) featuring original music by Golden Globe nominee Alex Heffes. Gloria (Gina Rodriguez) finds a power she never knew she had when she is drawn into a dangerous world of cross-border crime. Surviving will require all of her cunning, inventiveness, and strength. ALEX HEFFES ON COMPOSING THE SCORE: ALEX HEFFES ON COMPOSING THE SCORE: I've always been a big fan of Catherine Hardwicke's films and Miss Bala has all the energy and edge that is so characteristic of her work. So I was excited to set about creating the musical world of Miss Bala and Tijuana provided a great musical backdrop to draw on. The gritty action called for the score to have a dark edge, so we ended up fusing a tough synth-driven sound with guitars and Latin percussion. As the lead character Gloria gradually outwits her captors and spreads her wings it felt like she needed her own action sound so you will hear her theme played out on high strummed guitars to give the shine that Gina Rodriguez brings to the character on the big screen.
