Separate from the Lady Raven songs, Trap also received a full original score by Herdís Stefánsdóttir. That matters, because the film really does have two different music identities working at once. One is public-facing, showy, and built around performance. The other is the darker internal pressure that keeps the movie tense underneath all the arena-pop surface.
The score album was released on August 23, 2024 and gives the thriller side of Trap room to breathe on its own. Stefánsdóttir had already worked with Shyamalan on Knock at the Cabin, and here the music again carries dread with a very physical pulse. It feels watchful, tightening, and quietly dangerous, which is exactly what the film needs once the concert spectacle starts turning into something far more controlled and predatory.
That split is part of what makes the music side of Trap so interesting. Saleka’s material sells the public performance, while Stefánsdóttir’s score carries the private danger underneath it. Together they show how carefully the film balances pop spectacle with creeping dread.
