In addition to writing, directing and producing The Book of Clarence, Samuel has crafted a grandiose, orchestral score reminiscent of Hollywood’s Biblical epics with choral-style vocals, bombastic drums and soaring strings.

Showcasing Samuel’s prowess as a bold storyteller through film and music, the score acts as both a sonic companion to the onscreen narrative as well as an anachronistic foil to the modern vocal songs featured on the film’s Official Soundtrack, released today from Geneva Club / Roc Nation.

The Official Soundtrack includes original vocal songs written and performed by Samuel alongside hip-hop legends Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Kid Cudi and more. Legendary Pictures’ The Book of Clarence debuts in movie theaters nationwide today via TriStar Pictures.

About Jeymes Samuel

Like molding clay, Jeymes Samuel stretches, shapes, and sculpts original stories out of unexpected elements. He’ll reframe a traditional world like the old west by placing an unprecedented emphasis on the black experience as he did in the award-winning The Harder They Fall. Rather than follow the standard hero, he’ll adopt the perspective of a seeming bystander in the middle of extraordinary circumstances, which he does in the forthcoming The Book of Clarence.

He’s the rare enigma equally at home behind the camera directing Idris Elba and Benedict Cumberbatch as he is sharing a track with Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) or Tori Amos. He personally breathes life into every layer of his art, writing the scripts, directing the action, producing the final product, and even composing the music.

Following success under the musical moniker The Bullits and delivering his first short film They Die By Dawn, JAY-Z and Baz Luhrmann personally sought him out to serve as Executive Music Consultant for 2016’s Academy® Award-winning The Great Gatsby and its chart-dominating companion album, The Great Gatsby: Music From Baz Luhrmann’s Film.
The latter bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200 and reached gold status.

The creative partnership with JAY-Z continued when the rap legend recruited Jeymes to write and direct LEGACY as an accompanying short for his album 4:44. 2021 saw this auteur’s vision magnified like never before with the premiere of his debut feature The Harder They Fall. Led by an A-list cast of Idris Elba, Zazie Beetz, Regina King, and more, he created a boundary-breaking Western.

He scored a BAFTA Award for “Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer” and 5 NAACP Image Awards, including the highest honors of “Outstanding Motion Picture” and “Outstanding Breakthrough Creative in a Motion Picture” for Jeymes.
It achieved a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 88% critics score and 93% audience score and surged on Netflix. Now, he opens up his sophomore feature The Book of Clarence and its soundtrack in 2024 led by the blockbuster single “Hallelujah heaven” [feat. Lil Wayne, Buju Banton, & Shabba Ranks] and more to come.
