Acclaimed composer and producer Ludwig Goransson teams up with Southern trap artist Don Toliver for the mesmerizing single “Flames of Fortune,” a highlight from the soundtrack of the thriller/action/drama film Sinners. Known for his work on iconic soundtracks like Creed, The Mandalorian, Oppenheimer, Tenet, and Black Panther, Goransson once again showcases his ability to craft music that elevates storytelling.
Set in the 1930s Southern U.S., Sinners explores a world dominated by blues, folk, and country music, and Goransson pays homage to the era’s sounds and instruments while infusing modern elements. “Flames of Fortune” masterfully blends harmonica and banjo instrumentation with a rush of synth passages, creating a stunning and eerie soundscape. Don Toliver’s unique singing voice complements the track’s haunting vibe, proving that his venture into country and folk is unexpectedly brilliant.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Flames of fortune
[Verse 1]
How I bleed for it
I won’t sleep for
I’ll be around town just a lil’ bit
Oh, we back for more
Oh, what you preachin’ for?
I guess around town just a lil’ bit
[Pre-Chorus]
Can I trust you? You know you’re my bro
Can I trust you? You know you’re my
Can I trust you? You know you’re my bro
The choir here don’t sing no more
[Chorus]
What am I here waitin’ for?
Dance all night on the floor
Dance all night on the floor
‘Cause I’m in here caught again
Remember this is starting here
Remember this, we partying
Let it go up in
Let it go up in
Flames of fortune
Let it go up in
Let it go up in
Flames of fortune
[Post-Chorus]
Flames of fortune
Flames of fortune
Let it go up in
Flames of fortune
Let it go up in (Let it go up in)
Let it go up in (Flames of fortune)
Let it go up in
Flames of fortune
[Verse 2]
Oh, what I seen here now
Don’t wanna speak about it
I guess I’ll talk just a lil’ bit
I was here back then
For anyone who’s askin’
I guess I’ll stay just a lil’ bit
[Pre-Chorus]
Can I trust you? You know you’re my bro
Can I trust you? You know you’re my
Can I trust you? You know you’re my bro
The choir here don’t sing no more
[Chorus]
What am I in here waitin’ for?
Feel like I want some more
Meet me at half past 4
‘Cause I’m in here caught again
Remember this is starting here
Remember this, we partying
Let it go up in
Let it go up in
Flames of fortune
Let it go up in
Let it go up in
Flames of fortune
[Post-Chorus]
Flames of fortune
Flames of fortune
Let it go up in
Flames of fortune
Let it go up in (Let it go up in)
Let it go up in (Flames of fortune)
Let it go up in
Flames of fortune
[Outro]
Can I trust you? You know you’re my bro
Can I trust you? You know you’re my bro
Can I trust you? You know you’re my bro
Can I trust you? You know you’re my
