From the Press Release: Lakeshore Records is set to release Heart Eyes--Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally [on] February 14, featuring music by award-winning composer Jay Wadley (Franklin). In theaters now, Spyglass Media Group’s Heart Eyes is directed by Josh Ruben, written by Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon & Michael Kennedy and stars Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding. Heart Eyes is distributed by Screen Gems in the U.S. and Canada and is produced by Landon, Greg Gilreath and Adam Hendricks.
For the past several years, the “Heart Eyes Killer” has wreaked havoc on Valentine’s Day by stalking and murdering romantic couples. This Valentine’s Day, no couple is safe…
Wadley notes: “I’m beyond excited for audiences to experience the Heart Eyes score as a soundtrack. Blending horror, comedy, and romance was such a fun challenge, and I pulled inspiration from classic rom-com and horror composers like Alan Silvestri, Bernard Herrmann, and Krzysztof Penderecki. From the eerie three-note motif of the ‘Heart Eyes Killer’ to the love theme that fights to break through the chaos, this film and score was a blast to collaborate on with my dear friend Josh Ruben, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!"
