A24 Music: a new chapter in A24’s cinematic vision
A24 is one of the most iconoclastic studios in American independent cinema. With the official launch of A24 Music, the studio is expanding its sensory empire and reaffirming its desire to blur the boundaries between music and film.
Their minimalist logo hits the screen like a signature. For over a decade, A24 has established itself as a factory of high-aesthetic imagery. Masterpieces like Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight, the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems, and Ari Aster’s Midsommar starring Florence Pugh have captured the zeitgeist—often thanks to sharp, memorable soundtracks. So it was only a matter of time before the studio took the next step into the music world.
Collaborations with Caroline Polachek and Phoebe Bridgers
In April 2025, A24 announced the creation of A24 Music, a division entirely dedicated to music production and distribution, unveiling the new logo across its social media. While the studio had already released several original scores (Everything Everywhere All At Once and The Green Knight became instant classics), the launch of A24 Music marks a more assertive turn: music not just for film, but beyond narrative confines. Artists like Caroline Polachek, Phoebe Bridgers, and yeule were already part of the label’s debut project, I Saw The TV Glow—a trippy teen thriller steeped in pop anxiety.
A24’s experimental sound objects
A24 Music is not just a marketing extension. The studio intends to create sonic works that stand on their own. The upcoming film Mother Mary, directed by David Lowery (A Ghost Story), is set to be a musical melodrama starring Michaela Coel and Anne Hathaway, featuring original songs by Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff. Here, music doesn’t accompany the story—it builds it.
There’s no coincidence in A24’s desire to create its label; musicians are drawn to the studio. Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, and Travis Scott have orbited around A24 for years. The studio’s casting frequently features musicians: Kid Cudi in X, Teyana Taylor in A Thousand and One, and A$AP Rocky in Dope. This porous line between stage and screen has become a defining trait.

But the most anticipated project is undoubtedly Frank Ocean’s debut feature film, produced by A24 and already in production. Starring David Jonsson and Taylor Russell, the mysterious film, reportedly inspired by photo-novels and 1970s queer imagery, marks Ocean’s first foray into directing, with a soundtrack presumably crafted to fit him like a glove.
