Of course, if you paid attention to the background music and the trailer title Rain, you'll have probably worked out that it was grandson and Jessie Reyez on a new collab for the movie.
"Rain is the theme song for making sense of personal tragedy," says grandson. "Through this track, I hope others find reassurance that whatever difficulty they’re going through leads to a broader, fuller perspective on life’s beauty somewhere down the road.
"I found James Gunn as a mentor and friend during the pandemic, and we began sharing our work as I finished my album and he finished his movie," he adds. "When he heard Rain it was clear that it spoke to him. I had been a fan of Jessie for years through mutual collaborators in the Toronto/LA scene, and knew she would resonate as well and offer her own unique contribution to bring this one to the finish line.
"When grandson first played me Rain I felt it pierced directly to the emotional heart of The Suicide Squad," continues James. "Months later, I still haven’t stopped singing it in the shower. Having Jessie on the track, another of my favourite new artists, is simply icing on the cake."
"I respect grandson as an artist so of course I was really excited to work with him; when he called me up to bat to feature on Rain, it was a no-brainer," says Jessie Reyez. "I’m also a fan of James Gunn and his work, so to be able to contribute a small part of my creativity to the world of Suicide Squad is an honour."
