Travis Scott has released a new song, 'When I'm Home,' a collaboration with James Blake and Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Goransson, according to Rolling Stone. The track is featured as the end credits song for Christopher Nolan's epic film 'The Odyssey,' which is currently in theaters.
What is the song about?
The ghostly track blends Homer's prose with modern lyricism, alluding to Odysseus' long journey. Scott raps lines like, "I’m marchin’ to this beach, I’m havin’ band withdrawals / Ran to a god, I’m askin’, ‘Please, lead me.'" James Blake serves as the Siren of the song, singing over a minimal beat between Scott's verses.
Where can you hear it?
'When I'm Home' has arrived on streaming services. Scott also appears in the film itself, playing a small role as a bard.
Nolan explained his casting choice for Scott, stating, "I cast [Scott] because I wanted to nod towards the idea that this story has been handed down as oral poetry, which is analogous to rap." The director previously collaborated with Scott on his 2020 film 'Tenet,' where the rapper contributed the Goransson-produced track "The Plan." Ludwig Goransson, who guides the musical journey on this new song, is a three-time Best Original Score Academy Award winner.
