Melania Doc soundtrack drama: Guns N’ Roses split, Prince blocks

Producers of the Melania Trump documentary named artists who refused clearance for the film’s soundtrack, including Guns N’ Roses (one member approved, another declined due to political differences), Prince (estate blocked a track), and Jonny Greenwood’s Phantom Thread score (blocked after lack of consultation). Mick Jagger reportedly approved The Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter. The producer stresses the refusals were about personal politics, not the film’s stance, highlighting ongoing clearance hurdles.

Melania Doc Soundtrack Fallout: Artists Refuse Clearance, Greenwood Reacts

Melania, Brett Ratner's documentary about the First Lady, uses Jonny Greenwood's Phantom Thread score without Greenwood or Paul Thomas Anderson's consent, prompting claims of a breach of Greenwood's composer agreement. Melania producer Marc Beckman defends the decision, noting politics and asserting the music will remain in the film, while revealing several artists who declined clearance (including Guns N' Roses, Grace Jones, and Prince's estate). The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" was cleared, and other tracks are reportedly in, with Greenwood also commenting that music and art should be above politics—even as the film stirs political controversy.

Melania Doc Producer Fires Back at Music-Use Allegations

Marc Beckman, a longtime adviser and producer of Melania Trump’s documentary, rejected claims that the film used Phantom Thread’s score without authorization, saying Universal did consult the composer and that legally binding contracts authorize the music. He called the accusations a “blatant lie” and said the film followed proper protocol and compensated artists, while the piece also notes the film’s ongoing controversy and soft box-office performance.

Greenwood Seeks Removal of Phantom Thread Score From Melania Documentary

Jonny Greenwood and Paul Thomas Anderson are asking for the Phantom Thread score used in Brett Ratner's Melania to be removed, alleging Universal breached their contract by licensing it without Greenwood’s consent. Separately, the film suffered a 67% second-weekend drop, grossing about $2.4 million over the Super Bowl frame as Amazon touts its rights and marketing strategy after paying $40 million for the rights and $35 million for marketing.

"The Smile's 'Wall of Eyes': A Fascinating Departure from Radiohead"

"The Smile's 'Wall of Eyes': A Fascinating Departure from Radiohead"

The Smile, a spinoff of Radiohead consisting of Jonny Greenwood, Tom Skinner, and Thom Yorke, has released its second studio album, "Wall of Eyes," which pushes further away from pop music. The album features elusive and complex compositions, with fragmentary and bleak lyrics delivered by Yorke's tormented voice. The band questions and undermines its grooves, allowing the music to emerge gradually before deflating or obscuring it in hazy productions. The album prioritizes atmosphere over legibility, with music that feels molten and improvisatory yet clearly premeditated, resembling film soundtracks in its amorphous and open-ended nature.

"The Smile's 'Wall of Eyes': A Masterful Rock Album Review"

The Smile's latest album 'Wall of Eyes' showcases their inventive and masterful approach to rock music, with a sound that is both expansive and restrained. The album features a skittish marriage of wonky electronics and rock ragers, with standout tracks like 'Bending Heretic' demonstrating the trio's ability to leave space for each other while also stepping into it. The album's breadth of material suggests a departure from comparisons to their Radiohead catalogue, positioning The Smile as a force to be reckoned with in their own right.
