The singer-songwriter discusses making her film debut and writing the title track for Spike Lee’s new movie 'Highest 2 Lowest.'

The latest Denzel Washington film, Highest 2 Lowest, has a splendid list of soundtracks. The original soundtrack was created by none other than Howard Drossin, a frequent collaborator of the film's helmer, Spike Lee.

Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest champions Black artists across different genres, which include hits from A$AP Rocky and Jensen McRae.

Spike Lee’s rendition of an Akira Kurosawa classic is a tedious ride until Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky’s third act kicks it into high gear.

A collaborator of Lee’s for more than a decade now, Hadera also appeared in Oldboy (2013), Chi-Raq (2015), and the Netflix adaptation of She’s Gotta Have It, besides starring in series such as Show Me a Hero, Billions, and MGM+’s Godfather of Harlem, the fourth season of which aired this past spring.

Highest 2 Lowest is a reimagining of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 Japanese drama, High and Low — which was loosely based on Ed McBain (Evan Hunter)’s 1959 novel, King’s Ransom. The cinematic thriller also marks Lee and Washington’s fifth collaboration together.
