Becoming – Music From The Netflix Original Documentary by Kamasi Washington LP Vinyl Record

Becoming is the soundtrack for The Netflix Original Documentary by director Nadia Hallgren which is based on the 2018 Memoir of Michelle Obama, former First Lady of the United States of America. It was released on December 11, 2020.

A tribute to Obama’s hometown of Chicago, the soundtrack is largely jazz inspired, displaying the talents of Los Angelis saxophonist Kamasi Washington. Washington’s music embodies the Obama presidency’s innovative vision, spirit, and overall sense of optimism.

“Song for Fraser” is a track worth holding attention to as it evokes a heartfelt historical flashback with such accuracy, playing during a scene where Michelle Obama is fondly remembering her late father, Fraser Robinson II. As he lays back in his recliner and plays old jazz records, the lingering ballad envelops you with its mellow tone and smooth vibrato. 

A dramatic piece of music, this soundtrack stands on its own as a beautiful example of emotive jazz, played with skill and seduction.
