The blockbuster sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has an impressive hit soundtrack, courtesy of producer Metro Boomin and a whole multiverse of guest stars. Aligned with the film’s themes of heroism, destiny, duty, and love, these tracks complement the film perfectly, whether they’re referencing the relationship between Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy or tackling the internal turmoil conflicting each of those main characters. Although more subdued than one might expect from an animated action flick, Metro Boomin captures the mood with confidence. Highlights include the menacing lead track “Annihilate” with Lil Wayne, Offset, and a returning Swae Lee (who delivered the first movie’s smash “Sunflower”); the tender, atmospheric alt R&B “Hummingbird” with a lilting James Blake on vocals; and the towering epic “Nas Morales” by Morales’ fellow Brooklynite, Nas. For fans in search of the frantic, blaring compositions that were set to the main action pieces in the movie, pop over to Daniel Pemberton’s wonderful score; for those willing to dive into the heart and soul of the film’s characters and struggles, Metro Boomin has you covered. ~ Neil Z.
