One Night in Miami... (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2020 film One Night in Miami... directed by Regina King. The album featured 22 songs, which are popular 1960s singles from artists including Sam Cooke, Ray Charlies, Jackie Wilson and several others, and performed some by the film's cast.

The album was released by ABKCO Records digitally on January 1, 2021 and followed by a physical CD release on January 15, and a vinyl edition released on March 5. Blanchard's score was released into a separate album, titled One Night in Miami... (Original Score) on February 5. Four of Odom Jr.'s songs, including "Speak Now" were released into a soundtrack EP titled Speak Now (Selections From One Night In Miami... Soundtrack) on May 7, 2021. The song "Speak Now" received nominations in the "Original Song" category at the Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards and Grammy Awards, and won Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Song.
Background
Terence Blanchard composed the musical score and also co-produced few of the songs. Blanchard had said it as a "brilliant experience" on working with Regina King, as she had a "really strong directing talent".[1] When they began working together on the score, Blanchard suggested King on trying few approaches to score for the film. He initially intended an orchestral music with a large ensemble, but King wanted to use a piano-based score, as it creates an "creates a historical narration for the film".[2]
Blanchard called it as "an interesting exercise for me, because then everything about the piano became bigger, like the dynamics, the touch, the attack, the range. All of those things became extremely important and having variables to help tell the story."[3] Since the musical style is a jazz-based, he roped in popular jazz pianist Benny Green to "improvise and manipulate the melodic content for that theme". For the prayer scene with Malcolm X, he used the duduk for that particular cue.[2]
As the filming was completed during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, scoring for the film began later that month and completed in early December 2020. Blanchard recorded the score at his home studio during the pandemic, and since he used limited instruments for the film, he felt the recording was easier and need not use the orchestral section where he had to record each orchestra separately due to restrictions.[3] The film's editor Tariq Anwar, had used temp music while editing the film, to help in the picture cutting.[4] He thought of using the solo piano for the transitions, and had downloaded several samples and played with jazz, blues and gospel, assigning different styles to the four Black icons to capture their personalities. However, Anwar had said that "Fortunately, Regina liked the idea but she didn’t like the style of piano. She was keen on an Aretha Franklin's influence. She then used that to implement that in Terence Blanchard's score."[4]
