The stand-out track among the six that make up the Solomon King OST is the near-12-minute ‘Theme from Solomon King’ title track. Kicking off with what sounds like a pre-set drum rhythm from an organ, it builds into a highly orchestrated, grinding Hammond and strings epic, complete with a lengthy bass-and-percussion breakdown. Vocalist Helena Hollis appears on a deep-soul take on the Carol King-penned ‘Changes’ and singer-songwriter Jimmy Lewis who produced the album fronts a couple of nice bluesy soul tracks too.
