While it acknowledges the universal struggle of losing hope in moments of uncertainty, it ultimately affirms that what is meant for each of us will arrive without rushing or chasing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBLESSINGS is a personal song for me and has a really special place in my heart,\u201d\u00a0shares Na\u00efka.\u00a0\u201cThis one is about the beauty of trusting in the universe and in yourself; knowing everything is going to work out exactly the way it\u2019s intended to. Sitting in gratitude, and knowing that having your own back while trusting the path ahead is what turns fear into faith and strength. This song is a reminder to myself and, hopefully anyone listening, that we carry everything we need inside of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up ione-block wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up--theme-in-content wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up--text-dark wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up--align-left\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up__container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\tLove Music?

He is a one-of-a-kind filmmaker, and this film is like nothing I have ever seen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The music for\u00a0HIM\u00a0is no exception. With this film,\u00a0Krlic delivers one of his boldest works yet: a score that shifts between wonder and unease, drawing from childhood fantasy and unsettling horror while pushing those contrasts through a contemporary lens. The score was recorded with a\u00a050-piece orchestra composed of some of the world\u2019s finest string players and features a haunting children\u2019s choir.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJustin Tipping gave me the freedom to see how far I could bend the genre without losing the emotional thread,\u201d Krlic says. \u201cWhen Justin and I met, we clicked immediately. We\u2019re the same age, grew up listening to a lot of the same music, and had the same reference points across film, art, food, everything. We were just singing from the same hymn sheet. It\u2019s probably the most fun I\u2019ve ever had writing music for anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0HIM\u00a0soundtrack is designed as a piece of work with its own gravity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a school of thought that says a score should be invisible, but I don\u2019t necessarily believe that,\u201d Krlic says. \u201cA great score should know when to guide the audience, when to surprise them and when to announce itself.\u00a0If the process is right, it can tell as much of the story as anything else on screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about her cinematic debut, Tierra shares,\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m truly grateful for the experience of being in my first film. With the support of director Justin Tipping, producer Jamal Watson, composer Bobby Krlic and the rest of the team, I learned so much about myself and the process. It made me even more excited to continue exploring film and TV in the future. Marlon Wayans was a big supporter for me on and off set, and Tyriq Withers and I have been hanging out and talking ever since we met! It is truly an honor to be involved in such a masterpiece.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his contribution, Jean shares,\u00a0\u201cWent to film school to learn \u201chow to make movies\u201d so I could score my own films, so when I received a call from the team that HIM wanted me to make an original record for the film I was excited. So I made Blitz which is the sound of adrenaline. There\u2019s a line in one of my past songs, I don\u2019t keep score, I keep scoring, feel that quote embodies everyone involved in HIM.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his involvement Guapdad 4000 shares:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s one thing to be in a movie for the first time, and it\u2019s even crazier to make a song for the soundtrack of that movie, so to have the opportunity to do both is a blessing.

The title breaks down into an acronym for\u00a0\u201cBoys Entering Anarchistic States Towards Inner Excellence,\u201d\u00a0mirroring the unpredictable ebb-and-flow of the music itself. As the opener, \u201cbleach\u201d effectively sets the tone for the trip to follow. Gently plucked notes on an acoustic guitar ring out through a soft haze, and he wrestles with a one-sided relationship. The accompanying visual similarly echoes this emotional complexity.<\/p>\n<section class=\"wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up ione-block wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up--theme-in-content wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up--text-dark wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up--align-left\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up__container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-ione-newsletter-sign-up__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\tLove Music?
