The film will hit theaters from April 19-25 in celebration of the holiday. For anyone not wanting to go to their local cinema, the movie is currently streaming on Paramount+.

The movie is highlighted by its tremendous soundtrack, which is drawn from several of the albums that launched Marley to stardom: Catch a Fire (1973), Burnin’ (1973), Rastaman Vibration (1976), Exodus (1977), Kaya (1978), and Uprising (1980).

A number of the songs are recognizable as featuring prominently on the multiplatinum 1984 hits compilation Legend. Known today as the bestselling reggae album of all time, Legend has spent over 800 weeks on the Billboard 200 album chart and recently surpassed sales of 18 million copies in the U.S.

The Bob Marley: One Love soundtrack is available in Dolby Atmos,mixed by Nick Rives, who also mixed the albums Legend, Exodus, Catch A Fire, and Burnin’ in Dolby Atmos in collaboration with the Marley estate.

Produced by Paramount Pictures in partnership with the Marley family, Bob Marley: One Love stars Kingsley Ben-Adir (One Night in Miami, Barbie, Peaky Blinders) as Marley, Lashana Lynch (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, No Time to Die) as his wife Rita, and James Norton (Little Women, Mr. Jones) as Island Records founder Chris Blackwell.

In addition to the soundtrack Tuff Gong/Island Records released Bob Marley: One Love (Music Inspired by the Film), a seven-song EP of fresh recordings of Marley’s compositions by Daniel Caesar, Kacey Musgraves, Wizkid, Leon Bridges, Jessie Reyes, Bloody Civilian, and Marley’s grandson Skip Marley.

“Bob’s music is filled with consciousness and messages of unity and love,” Ziggy Marley reflects ahead of the film. “His words and how he lived his life have always inspired people to be better. We’re proud to share my father’s story with this film and continue to spread his messages with his music.”
