The GRAMMY’s Award Bob Marley: One Love Best Reggae Album 2025
Congratulations goes to Bob Marley: One Love soundtrack, who, on Sunday February 2nd, 2025 won the GRAMMY Award for Best Reggae Album.
The 17-track original motion picture soundtrack contained songs from The Wailers, as well as Bob Marley and The Wailers. Classic songs such as “Exodus,” “Turn Your Lights Down Low” and “Jammin” are compiled on the body of work.
Curated from Marley’s archival recordings used throughout the film, Kingsley Ben-Adir performed all the songs as a singer and guitarist for his role as Marley, where the final edit blends with the archival recordings of the film.
Kris Bowers composed the film’s score collaborating with Green for the fourth time following Monsters and Men (2018), King Richard (2021) and the television miniseries We Own This City (2022). Bowers was involved from the very beginning, as Green engaged him during the pre-production so that he could sketch the compositions and orchestration. Marley’s music was used as a foundation for the film’s score which Green wanted to be organic, but also allow certain moments to be emotional. Bowers recorded and mixed the album without the use of modern sound technologies so that each instrumentation could be heard and experienced accordingly.
