Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ CineMedia Promotions) 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).
Bray has written and produced many of Madonna's top ten recordings, including "Angel," "Into the Groove," "Poppa Don't Preach" and "Express Yourself." Bray composed songs for various multi-platinum artists including the Jets, Gladys Knight and Kylie Minogue. His co-composing work on the Broadway musical, The
Color Purple, earned him both a Tony (2006) and Grammy (2007) nomination.
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 feak us out … but bind us together with love.
