Travis Scott has a wizened new collaborator in his crosshairs: the Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody. Yes, that's Adrien Brody. The brooding pianist from The Pianist may be dropping beats instead of Chopin, and Travis is ready for it.
Recently, he did just that in his new Complex cover story, where he dished out some surprising celebrity encounters. One that resonated particularly was a surprise encounter between Brody and a fashion show attendee that led to a potential musical mashup.
"Did you watch The Brutalist? That movie's hard as f**k," Travis said, referring to Brody's latest dark, artsy film. However, the real plot twist didn't emerge from the silver screen but from their exchange.
"I bumped into him at a fashion show the other day, and I've always been a fan of his," Travis said. "There was a guy bathed in light and I sat next to him and I'm like, 'I don't even know if this dude knows who I am.' And he's the first thing he says to me, 'Yo, bro."
What followed was a surprise only the fashion world or perhaps a Travis Scott dreamscape could provide. Adrien Brody, a fine actor with a deep, dramatic role in Hollywood lore for that Oscar speech of his, has a surprise side gig: beat-making.
Yup, the man who birthed soul in The Pianist is coming to the table with drums, synth, and maybe some hi-hat. And Travis Scott? He's intrigued.
Though that elusive studio date hasn't been confirmed yet, Scott soaked up the vibe and made it known he's open to experimenting with alchemy with his label's big boss. And who wouldn't want to hear what ensues when Brody's celluloid imagination intersects with Travis's psychedelic dreamscapes?
This potentially inauspicious pairing is one of those rare creative crossovers that's so wild it has to happen. Travis's genre-bending trap aesthetic meets Brody's cinematic, maybe even orchestral, style.
Travis Scott never stops crossing frontiers, be it fashion, film, or music. And if Adrien Brody's beats are even half as good as his turns in front of the camera, then we might be in for one of the year's more surprising and interesting team-ups.
So don't be surprised if the next Travis song has production credits from a dude with an Oscar and a MIDI keyboard. Stranger things need to happen, especially when La Flame is concerned.
