‘Trap’ Star Saleka Releases ‘Lady Raven’ OST With Special Guest Kid Cudi; Listen Now
Take your seats; the show is about to begin. M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap is now out in theaters, and so, too, is the soundtrack from musical artist Saleka Shyamalan, who plays pop star Lady Raven in the film.
Saleka’s Lady Raven (Original Music From The Motion Picture TRAP) is out everywhere, giving fans multiple ways to experience Trap. Listen now.
In the thriller starring Josh Hartnett, “A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”
As the official trailer for Trap reveals, the pop concert is actually an elaborate trap designed to catch The Butcher, a sadistic serial killer who has been evading authorities.
Per the press release, “Saleka and her dad, filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, had always shared an appreciation for music-driven films and long dreamed of a collaboration. They essentially built TRAP from kitchen table conversations. ‘Purple Rain is one of our favorite movies,” she says. “Film and music often go hand in hand in our culture, they are equally important in Bollywood movies. The concept for Trap came from family conversations in the kitchen about wanting to bring these two art forms together in our own way. I wrote a lot of the songs at my parent’s house in the living room. This project felt like home, but allowed me to try musical ideas I never had before. It’s so pure and special to me.'”
Chief songwriter and producer on all 14 tracks, the Pennsylvania-born singer, songwriter, producer, and pianist crafted and composed each song entwined with her father’s script from beginning to end.
The soundtrack includes previously released singles “Save Me”, “Release” and “DIVINE” Ft. Kid Cudi, the album features 11 previously unheard gems from the film, as well as contributions from special guests Russ, and Amaarae. Look for Kid Cudi to appear in the film alongside Saleka as well, in a cameo role.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.
The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”
The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.
Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).

Theatre Ventures.
When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.
As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.
Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
