Queen Members’ Early Band Smile Reunite For Bohemian Rhapsody Soundtrack Album
The details for the soundtrack of the upcoming Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody have been revealed, coinciding with what would have been Freddie Mercury’s 72nd birthday. It’s a mix of live performances, new versions of hits, and some of the studio recordings of the original songs. Per a press release, each version of the song was selected in order to match up with its narrative purpose in the movie.
The soundtrack was produced by Brian May and Roger Taylor. It includes five never-before-released audio recordings of Queen’s performance at Live Aid at London’s Wembley Stadium in 1985. It also features a new version of “Doing All Right,” which was originally recorded by Smile, Queen’s predecessor band that May and Taylor formed with vocalist Tim Staffell. The members of Smile reunited to re-record the song for the soundtrack.
The soundtrack also features a Queen-ified version of the 20th Century Fox theme song, which will open the film.
