The Bad Hair: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is coming. Lakeshore Records will release it on limited edition “Red Vinyl w/ Black Hair” on May 10th.
Bad Hair Synopsis:
In 1989 an ambitious young woman gets a weave in order to succeed in the image-obsessed world of music television. However, her flourishing career may come at a great cost. Now she realizes that her new hair may also have a mind of its own.
Bad Hair is written and directed by Justin Simien. Elle Lorraine stars with Vanessa Williams, Lena Waithe, Laverne Cox, and also Jay Pharoah. Kelly Rowland rounds out the cast with Blair Underwood, James Van Der Beek, and Usher Raymond IV.
The album features a multi-faceted score by Emmy Award-winning composer Kris Bowers. It showcases angular and tension-filled orchestrations alongside minimal electronic atmospherics. The soundtrack also features New Jack Swing era-inspired songs. They include Kelly Rowland, Braxton Cook, and writer/director Justin Simien. They provide the perfect backdrop to the satirical horror thriller set in 1989. Simien wrote some of the songs many years back. Now he’s reworked them and they received the blessing of the godfather of New Jack Swing himself, Teddy Riley. Bowers produced the songs, bringing Simien’s vision of them to life.
Bad Hair is now on Hulu. The single LP with printed sleeve is on limited edition “Red w/ Black Hair” vinyl. It will be released on May 10th. Order your copy now, HERE.

Kris Bowers is a Grammy-nominated, Emmy Award-winner. And a Juilliard-educated pianist. Plus he’s a composer who also creates genre-defying music. Music that pays homage to his jazz roots with inflections of alternative and R&B influences. Bowers’ work as a film and also television composer is a testament to his versatility as an artist. Bowers has also established himself at the forefront of Hollywood’s emerging generation of composers. And throughout his career, he has consistently championed an art practice. One guided by multi-disciplinary collaboration.
