The buzz is real: “Bob Marley: One Love,” the musical biopic celebrating the legend himself, is set to hit theaters this Valentine’s Day. Fans are eager, and there’s a special treat in store. Kacey Musgraves has just dropped her rendition of the Wailers’ 1977 classic, “Three Little Birds.” It’s a fresh take on a timeless tune—have a listen and let it marinate.
Reinaldo Marcus Green takes the director’s seat, bringing the story of Bob Marley to life. Kingsley Ben-Adir steps into Marley’s shoes, guitar skills and all, while Lashana Lynch shines as Rita Marley. The film dives deep into the aftermath of the ’76 assassination attempt on Marley, leading up to the pivotal One Love Peace Concert in ’78.
But wait, there’s more to this soundtrack than just Musgraves. It’s a veritable feast of covers, with Skip Marley, Daniel Caesar, Leon Bridges, and Jessie Reyez adding their own flavors. A true mosaic of musical genius, each artist lending a unique voice to the legend’s legacy.
Kacey Musgraves isn’t just riding the Marley wave; she’s been a whirlwind of activity since “Star-Crossed” graced our ears in 2021. She’s colored “Sesame Street” with song, paid homage to Coldplay and Elvis, and lent her voice to the Grammys’ in memoriam segment. And let’s not overlook her recent collabs—Musgraves has been mixing it up with the likes of Fancy Hagood and Madi Diaz.
