DUET SOUNDTRACK

The demos below are demonstrations of intent, written by Donnell, previewing original songs created for Duet, a music-driven character drama. Each track is designed to function both as a standalone work of art and as a revenue-generating asset within the film’s broader portfolio. Together, the songs chart the story’s emotional journey — from loss and longing to hope and healing — positioning the soundtrack as an additional stream of return alongside the film itself.

Gritty Life

A rough-edged barroom tune Ethan belts out early in the film — soaked in whiskey, wit, and working-class despair. This number sets the tone for his broken, restless state.

Words

At a choir rehearsal, Annie sings a raw, soul-piercing confessional. Ethan finds himself spellbound by Annie's performance, finally ready to declare her his duet partner.

We Had A Good Run

Annie records this song at Tiny’s studio for Ethan to take to Nashville. It’s a vulnerable, decisive moment where she claims her own voice, with Ethan championing her to his record label.

Needing Nothing More

Ethan and Annie debut their duet at a local café — a moment of triumph and connection. This hour of joy collides with Ethan's near-fatal car accident, casting doubt on whether hope can endure.

Beverly

Ethan’s unreleased romantic folk song surfaces during his rehab — a piece that captures the fragility of first love and the faint hope it can survive loss.

A Love So Fine

Annie and Ethan’s second duet is a tender ballad about the delicate nature of love, revealing that it survives only when both are willing to bend rather than break.

With a Little Hope

Annie’s turning-point anthem. After Ethan's car accident, she watches him retreat and sings her own truth — a solo that reclaims her strength and reframes their story.

Reputations

A biting performance that captures Ethan’s pride and the damage of his own name. This number underscores his reputation as both a talent and a self-sabotager.

Voice of Angel

A recurring melody woven through the story emerges in full as Ethan’s solo. In the final scene, he sings it as a raw confession of love for Annie — his most honest and redemptive act.

On This Dawning Day

The credits roll, and life goes on. The storm has passed, and with clear sight, Ethan reflects on who he was and who he is and what lies ahead. Hope lies beyond the horizon with a new beginning.

The songs above don’t just accompany Duet—they are the heartbeat of the story, carrying its emotional arc and soul. Each track threads directly into the film’s narrative, some featured in pivotal montage sequences, others reimagined and performed by the cast for the screen.

Beyond the film, Duet expands into music. A companion album—featuring the actors’ performances—will launch in sync with the theatrical release, creating a powerful cross-market experience that reaches both film lovers and music audiences.
