Each Song in Malcolm & Marie's Soundtrack Tells a Story of Its Own

Buckle up, because Netflix's Malcolm & Marie [1] is about to take you on a journey. The romantic drama [2], which premiered on Feb. 5, centres on a director and his girlfriend and how their relationship is tested the night of his big movie premiere. Since John David Washington and Zendaya [3] are the sole stars, their incredible performances do most of the heavy lifting. But music does play a key role in the storytelling. As Malcolm and Marie argue and make up throughout the night, various songs help set the mood for each scene. After a heated argument in the bathroom, Marie masterfully plays "Get Rid of Him" by Dionne Warwick, and when the film comes to a close, "Liberation" by Outkast feat. Cee-Lo plays over the credits. Scroll ahead to hear the full soundtrack from the movie.
