Shygirl and Moby Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images; Robin L Marshall/Getty Images Shygirl, Moby, and Brutalismus 3000 contributed new songs to EP Club Kid (Music From & Inspired by the Film), the soundtrack to Jordan Firstman’s recent film Club Kid. Released by A24 Music, the five-track EP also includes two distinct covers of Arthur Russell’s “The Boy with a Smile” by Christine and the Queens and Nirosta Steel.
Shygirl, who appears as herself in the film, offered ethereal song “Waves,” which comes on the heels of her second studio album Swallow!.
Moby offered “I Want a Rocket,” a dance floor-ready number with a pulsating beat.
Club Kid, now in select theaters, stars Firstman, Reggie Absolom, and Diego Calva. It debuted at Cannes earlier this year. Rolling Stone then wrote that the film was the “closest thing to a seismic hit the king-making event has had this year, and will likely be the defining movie of the 2026 edition.”
Firstman recently spoke to Rolling Stone about writing and directing the movie, his directorial feature debut. Club Kid is the story of a club promoter named Peter who ends up having a particularly wild night out. Ten years later, someone shows up at his door and introduces him to the son (played by Absalom) he never knew he had. The reluctant dad and his kid end up bonding.
