As the film had a strong visual look and feel that was part Hollywood comic live action and part anime, we needed a track that would blend the two and enhance the visuals.
We explored the musical influences of each genre - Hollywood comic genre films and their pop/hiphop inspired soundtracks and the classic anime movies with their traditional strings and synths.
This formed the base of our track - a Hip hop beat with Asian synth instrumentation added to create a jagged dynamic rhythm, to drive the live action and complement the animation.
We then wanted vocals to complement our heroes as they battled it out on screen, so we enlisted two Chinese rappers to battle it out in the recording booth.
With them riffing off one another, like Neymar and Emily riff off one another in the fight scenes, before combining their talents at the end.
