Sophia Scorziello editor The first single has been released from the soundtrack of Apple’s musical drama “Flora and Son,” starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Eve Hewson. Titled “High Life,” the single is an emotional yet optimistic track about a motherhood, performed by Hewson and her co-star Orén Kinlan. While she might be the daughter of Irish rockstar Bono, Hewson said she did not enlist her U2 frontman father for help on the project.
“I’ve learned so much from him, in terms of life presence, stage presence. But I didn’t ask him for help,” Hewson previously said at Variety’s Sundance Studio earlier this year. “He offered, and I was like, ‘No, thank you.’ He’s, like, a really good singer so I was like, ‘No, no, no.’” “Flora and Son” was helmed by John Carney, the Irish director known for “Sing Street” and his Amazon Prime series “Modern Love.” Per “Flora and Son” official logline: “Single mom Flora (Hewson) is at a loss about what to do with her rebellious teenage son, Max (Kinlan).
Encouraged by the police to find Max a hobby, Flora tries to occupy him with a beat-up acoustic guitar. With the help of a washed-up LA musician (Levitt), Flora and Max discover the transformative power of music.” Following the film’s premiere at Sundance 2023, Carney’s festival-favorite was sold to Apple Original Films for nearly $20 million. In his post-Sundance review, Variety’s chief film critic Owen Gleiberman called the film a “low-fi pop-rock charmer.” “The songs stake out a place somewhere on the spectrum between indie emo earnestness and Loggins and Messina nostalgia,” said Gleiberman.
