In case you're late to the party, Madeleine L'Engle's 1962 science-fiction novel, A Wrinkle In Time, is a veritable classic in the world of literature. Now it's getting the big-screen treatment under the capable direction of Ava DuVernay with blockbuster stars, including Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling, among others.

On Feb. 20 DuVernay announced via Twitter that Sade and Sia have contributed original songs to the film's soundtrack. Sade's contribution, "Flower Of The Universe," marks the first new music from the GRAMMY winner since her 2010 album, Soldier Of Love.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I never thought she’d say yes, but asked anyway. She was kind + giving. A goddess. We began a journey together that I’ll never forget. Proud to announce that Sade has created an original song for WRINKLE IN TIME. It’s entitled “Flower of the Universe.” And it’s a dream come true. <a href="https://t.co/FdXrZ1MFMO">pic.twitter.com/FdXrZ1MFMO</a></p>— Ava DuVernay (@ava) <a href="https://twitter.com/ava/status/966004518960881665?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 20, 2018</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Sia's song contribution, meanwhile, is titled "Magic."
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Happy to share that WRINKLE IN TIME’s soundtrack also includes original music by none other than Sia. I remember being blown away by her SPEAKING VOICE ON THE PHONE. So when she shared the song she wrote for Meg, I was spellbound. It’s called “Magic.” And it is. Thank you, <a href="https://twitter.com/Sia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Sia</a>. <a href="https://t.co/PioLASDipQ">pic.twitter.com/PioLASDipQ</a></p>— Ava DuVernay (@ava) <a href="https://twitter.com/ava/status/966011353101058049?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 20, 2018</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
