Raphael Saadiq reveals that he ended up writing for the Sinners soundtrack because Ryan Coogler went to a Beyoncé concert and heard "Cuff It". "Ryan Coogler went to Beyoncé’s concert, and he heard one of her songs that I worked on, and he was like, “Who did that? ” He heard “Cuff It,” and then he went and read who did “Cuff It.” He’s like, “We got to call Raphael for ‘Sinners.'” And then Ludwig reached out through a friend of mine, Dominique Dunn, a young lady who worked for a friend of mine, No ID. And she worked in the same building as me in my studio. And she was like, “Ludwig Göransson is looking for you.” And I’ve known Ludwig, but I don’t know how it came through, but she told me. And after that, I went and met with him that day, and then I spoke to him and Ryan. And Luwig kind of pitched it to me, the whole story of ‘Sinners,’ the script as good as he could. And then we got on a FaceTime with Ryan, and then Ryan pitched it to me, and then it was clear what we needed to do from that point." 🔗 theplaylist.net/sinners-raphae…
