Briana Middleton: My Sharper Playlist

Briana Middleton co-stars alongside Julianne Moore and Sebastian Stan in the Apple Original Film Sharper, a neo-noir thriller of high-stakes power games. Middleton handpicked tracks from artists like Bon Iver to Herbie Hancock to help her get into the character of Sandra. “This is a combination of songs that were on my playlist while filming and songs I would add if I were jumping into this character again,” she tells Apple Music. “It’s all over the place. Enjoy!” Read about a couple of her favourite tracks below, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library. Hiatus Kaiyote, “Red Room (Nick Hakim Remix)” “Hiatus Kaiyote always crafts such lush, layered music, and Nick Hakim’s remix adds this sick eerie, gritty film over the track. Listening, I think of something dark and mysterious, but also dreamlike and alluring, and you're not sure how dangerous it is, and I think that’s a part of Sandra’s experience in this film.” Roots Radics, “Dangerous Match Six” “OK, this is the one outlier. I started playing bass while filming and this was one of my favourite songs to practise with. The bass part is simple but so fun and funky. If you want to get into dub, highly recommend checking out this whole album.”
