up and over‘s “Spark” burns with a black flame. Gentle, sinister swirls characterize the string-bound track, which serves as the bookender to the forthcoming Red Right Hand, an action thrilling starring Orlando Bloom and Andie McDowell. Penned by songwriters Peter Donovan and Dune Butler, the somber, languid tune, premiering today on B-Sides & Badlands, swims through themes of “resilience and hope,” says Donovan, the mastermind behind the up and over creative endeavor.
With Jen Monette-Bethune and Natalie Colvin on lead vocals, the soundtrack cut “tells a story of overcoming adversity, reflecting the movie’s portrayal of characters battling their way to redemption through various struggles,” continues Donovan. “The song symbolizes the pursuit of a fresh start, embodying the challenges faced along the way.”
