Yahoo News A Wrinkle In Time: Ava DuVernay recruits Sade, Demi Lovato, Sia and more for the film's soundtrack
A Wrinkle In Time's soundtrack lineup has been announced and it will feature the first new music from Sade in eight years.
In addition to songs from Sade, there will be tracks from DJ Khaled and Demi Lovato, Sia, Kehlani, Chloe x Halle and FreeStyle Fellowship.
Director Ava DuVernay took to Twitter to announce the news of new music from Sade, which she seemed to be in disbelief about herself.
She wrote, "I never thought she’d say yes, but asked anyway. She was kind + giving. A goddess. We began a journey together that I’ll never forget. Proud to announce that Sade has created an original song for Wrinkle in Time. It’s entitled 'Flower of the Universe.' And it’s a dream come true."

She proceeded to post individually about each of the original tracks on the record.
When announcing Chloe x Halle's track she spoke lovingly about them saying "they are wonderful young women who help me hope."
WRINKLE IN TIME was made w/ love for young people. To share ideas about being a light in this often dark world. The new song “Warrior” by the phenoms @chloexhalle often makes me cry - with joy for the future. They are wonderful young women who help me hope. Thank you, ladies! pic.twitter.com/IZMyL0oEnQ

Happy to share that WRINKLE IN TIME’s soundtrack also includes original music by none other than Sia. I remember being blown away by her SPEAKING VOICE ON THE PHONE. So when she shared the song she wrote for Meg, I was spellbound. It’s called “Magic.” And it is. Thank you, @Sia. pic.twitter.com/PioLASDipQ

She admired Kehlani's "vibe," "voice" and "vision for herself," explaining her song "Let Me Live" is the first song "heard while watching A Wrinkle In Time."
Last but not least, I am in love with the music of a young woman hailing from Oakland. Her vibe. Her voice. Her vision for herself. It’s all beautiful. Kehlani’s original song “Let Me Live” is the first heard while watching WRINKLE IN TIME. It’s all about Meg’s inner life. A gem. pic.twitter.com/Slc3yuIyWQ
