Song of the Day: Challengers (“Pecado”), words and music by Enrique Mario Francini, Armando Pontier, and Carlos Bahr, is performed by the talented Grammy-winning Brazilian artist, Caetano Veloso, in a lush bossa nova arrangement. The Veloso rendition, which explores the overpowering nature of forbidden love, is featured in this provocative 2024 romantic sports drama. The film’s score, composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who have branched out considerably from their days with Nine Inch Nails, won the Golden Globe for Best Original Score. Even the film’s source music is notable. This track provides a backdrop for one of its most sensuous moments. This song first appeared on Veloso’s 1994 album, “Fina Estampa“. A recent video includes scenes from the film [YouTube]. Today marks the final day of my 21st Annual Film Music February Festival, which got an extension into the first two days of March in tribute to the 97th Annual Academy Awards, taking place tonight in Hollywood. Till next year!
