Lady Raven (album)

Lady Raven is the second studio album by Saleka which also acts as the soundtrack to the 2024 film Trap directed by her father M. Night Shyamalan, in which she plays the eponymous titular character performing 14 songs from the album as heard in the film. The soundtrack was released in conjunction with the film, on August 2, 2024, through Columbia Records.

Saleka and Shyamalan both cited the 1984 musical film Purple Rain as a favourite, and inspired by that film, Shyamalan aimed to curate a soundtrack in which "the buoyancy and the artistry of the music is affecting the movie in a significant way". The songs are performed within the story, as part of Lady Raven’s concert, where most of the film takes place. Those songs were performed, recorded, mixed, produced and choreographed by Saleka herself.

The album features performances from rapper-singers Kid Cudi, Russ and singer Amaarae, the former two also feature in the film. The singles "Release", "Save Me" and "Divine" led the album prior to its release.
