A24 Music has announced the upcoming release of Devonté Hynes’s original score for The Invite, directed by Olivia Wilde. The score, preceded this week by the single “Contentious Environment,” is due out on June 26. The film—an English-language remake of Spanish film The People Upstairs that stars Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, and Penélope Cruz—will appear in theaters nationwide on July 10. The Invite premiered at this year’s Sundance Festival and garnered a positive critical response.
The soundtrack album will be Hynes’ sixth film score, following Paul Schrader’s Master Gardener (2022), Rebecca Hall’s Passing (2021), two collaborations with Gia Coppola for Palo Alto (2013) and Mainstream (2020), and 2019’s Queen & Slim, directed by Melina Matsoukas. His most recent album as Blood Orange, 2025’s Essex Honey, was described by Paste’s Sam Small as “the work of a great, precise artist.” Read our digital cover story on Blood Orange here.
