Black Nativity- THE MUSIC

Music From the Motion Picture

 Black Nativity



RCA Inspiration released the soundtrack to Fox Searchlight Pictures holiday musical drama “Black Nativity” on November 5th.

A new film adaptation of Langston Hughes’ stage drama “Black Nativity”comes complete with a soundtrack album that features performances by an all-star cast of vocalists, including Mary J. Blige, Nas and Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson, whose song “Test of Faith”premieres today on Speakeasy, along with the previously released track “Be Grateful.”

Hudson in the film plays a single mother raising Langston (Jacob Latimore), who heads from Baltimore to New York to spend Christmas with his minister uncle and aunt, played by Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett, respectively. Chafing under his uncle’s strict rules, Langston sets out for home, and life lessons ensue.

From the sound of “Test of Faith,” Hudson’s character has already learned a few of her own. She sings the understated R&B ballad (written by executive producer Raphael Saadiq and Taura Stinson) with restrained power, wrapping her beautiful voice around wrenching lyrics as she builds to a ringing climax two-thirds of the way through the tune.
