In Ryan Coogler's hit vampire film Sinners, music lies at the heart of the movie – not just the epic score by Ludwig Göransson, but also the many songs that feature on the soundtrack.

The film features various modern artists' versions of classic blues songs, transporting viewers to 1930s Mississippi, as well as originals performed by Jordan's co-stars Miles Caton, who plays Sammie, and Hailee Steinfeld, who portrays Mary.
But while the Blues music plays a big part in setting the atmosphere in the film, it's also important symbolically, and is used to explore the movie's central themes of race and ownership.
Speaking of the genre's impact, co-star Delroy Lindo told RadioTimes.com: "My appreciation for the music has increased, of course, as a result of doing this film and becoming much more aware of the history, the prodigious history of this music, what the music represents, what the history represents, and how foundational it is."
Read on for the full list of songs on the Sinners soundtrack, as well as everything you need to know about the score.

What song does Hailee Steinfeld sing in Sinners?
The soundtrack album (which has been released in full in line with the film) also has some more surprises in store for fans, including Dangerous, a new original song by star Hailee Steinfeld – her first new track in two years.
"It was such a surreal experience, coming off of this movie, feeling so, so deeply inspired as a person, but as an actor and as a musician, with how heavily present music is in this film, getting the opportunity to collaborate with this project musically was a dream," she explained to RadioTimes.com.
"And to write this song and lyrically tap into Mary and her relationship with Stack and trying to sort of encapsulate that deep desire to simply just be together when it's not so simple under circumstances that aren't so simple. And maybe that's a little bit selfish of her.
"The song is called Dangerous, and it sort of, I think... I hope evokes that vulnerability that a lot of these characters have.
"But it was so amazing to sort of, like, be in both worlds, you know? Having played Mary and understanding the sort of inside of her, and then, you know, be on the outside of it now and write a song, sort of from her perspective mixed with my own, was quite fun."
Sinners is in UK cinemas.
