In January, it was revealed that Thom Yorke composed the soundtrack for Daniele Luchetti’s film Confidenza, an adaptation of Domenico Starnone’s novel of the same name. On 26 April, Thom Yorke’s Confidenza soundtrack was released digitally, with vinyl and CD to follow on 12 July.

The music video for the single ‘Knife Edge’ takes a sequence from the film starring Elio Germano and Federica Rosellini re-adapted by editor Ael Dallier Vega. The soundtrack’s introductory track, ‘The Big City’, was previewed by Yorke in February as part of his playlist for The Smile for BBC 6 Music Artist in Residence series.

Confidenza follows the original score penned by Thom Yorke for Luca Guadagnino’s 2018 remake of Suspiria, with the track Suspirium receiving a GRAMMY nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media. The Confidence soundtrack was produced by Sam Petts-Davies (Suspiria, The Smile Wall Of Eyes), and sees Petts-Davies and Yorke working again with the London Contemporary Orchestra along with a jazz ensemble including Robert Stillman and The Smile member Tom Skinner. In 2019 Yorke contributed music to Edward Norton’s Motherless Brooklyn and in 2022 he wrote two original songs for the series finale of Peaky Blinders.
