Lakeshore Records: Peeples [2013]

LAKESHORE RECORDS PRESENTS

PEEPLES -- ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK EP

Released By: LAKESHORE RECORDS

Featuring New Songs by Acclaimed Songwriter/Producer Stephen Bray

and Original Score by Aaron Zigman

(April 18 2013– Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the Peeples – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack EP digitally on May 7, 2013. The album features three new songs by Grammy and Tony nominated songwriter/producer Stephen Bray with performances by the film’s Craig Robinson (TV’s The Office, Hot Tub Time Machine) and David Alan Grier (A Soldier’s Story, TVs In Living Color) along with original music by Aaron Zigman (Sex and the City, The Notebook).

In addition to the new songs, the EP also includes two score pieces by Aaron Zigman. This Emmy-winning songwriter plants one foot in the world of pop idioms and the other in the emotional scope of a symphony orchestra to create narrative scores that complement each genre he’s assigned—and with more than 50 film credits to his name, that has encompassed everything from the passionate romance The Notebook, to the fantastical animated adventure in Escape from Planet Earth, to Tyler Perry’s comedy Madea’s Witness Protection.

Sparks fly when Wade Walker (Craig Robinson) crashes the preppy Peeples annual reunion in the Hamptons to ask for their precious daughter Grace’s (Kerry Washington) hand in marriage. Wade might be a fish-out-of-water among this seemingly perfect East Coast clan, but he’s not about to let himself flounder. Instead, in a wild weekend of fun, dysfunction and hilarious suprises, Wade is about to discover there’s room for all kinds of Peepls in this family, no matter their differences. Writer and first time director Tina Gordon Chism (writer of Drumline) join forces with Tyler Perry to present a laugh-out-loud look at the family ties that freak us out … but bind us together with love.
