Lakeshore Records recently released 
Special Ops: Lioness—Original Series Soundtrack digitally featuring an original score by award-winning composer Andrew Lockington (Mayor of Kingstown, San Andreas). Lockington creates an atmosphere of foreboding with Middle Eastern-inflected strings and percussion that augment the intensity of the series. From Academy Award® Nominee Taylor Sheridan, Special OPS: Lioness airs exclusively on Paramount+.
Special Ops: Lioness, inspired by an actual U.S. Military program, follows the life of Joe (Saldaña) while she attempts to balance her personal and professional life as the tip of the CIA’s spear in the war on terror. The Lioness Program, overseen by Kaitlyn Meade (Kidman) and Donald Westfield (Kelly), enlists an aggressive Marine Raider named Cruz (De Oliveira) to operate undercover alongside Joe among the power brokers of State terrorism in the CIA’s efforts to thwart the next 9/11.
Notes Lockington: “Taylor and I set out to use the music to reflect the emotional cacophony inside the characters, never the physical geography of the story. Playing the classical dilemma between the head and the heart, the music is sometimes sad, sometimes angry, often wounded, but still has moments of solace and glimpses of peace. The score gives some insight into our characters as they’re torn between their responsibilities to their loved ones and the oath they’ve sworn to protect their country. To achieve this we assembled an eclectic ensemble of world hand percussion, whining cello, analogue synth rhythms and the fragile strings of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Never comfortable, never committing, the music emanates from the cracks inside the psyche.”

ABOUT ANDREW LOCKINGTON
Award-winning composer Andrew Lockington is perhaps best known for his epic scores to longtime collaborator Director Brad Peyton’s blockbuster films San Andreas, Rampage and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, which together surpassed the $1 Billion box office milestone.
However, whether it’s a studio action film or an independent festival film, his music demonstrates his approach of scoring each project in a unique way, finding a musical language to communicate the relationships and elements of the story the visuals cannot. Lockington’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of film scoring has inspired him to record in such places as the highland jungles of Papua New Guinea, an ancient temple in Northern Japan, the tropics of Costa Rica and even a dormant volcano in Polynesia.
Upcoming projects include Paramount+’s series Special Ops: Lioness, starring Zoe Saldana, Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman which premieres July 23rd; and Brad Peyton’s epic sci-fi feature film Atlas, starring Jennifer Lopez, Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown.
Notable film and tv credits include Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown, starring Jeremy Renner;
Starz’s American Gods, starring Ricky Whittle and Emily Browning; Geoffrey Sax’s Golden Globes-nominated feature film Frankie & Alice, starring Halle Berry and Stellan Skarsgård; Netflix’s International Emmy Award-winning drama series Delhi Crime; Peter Chelsom’s The Space Between Us, starring Gary Oldman and Carlo Gugino; Thor Freudenthal’s Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, starring Logan Lehman and Alexandra Daddario; Eric Brevig’s Journey to the Center of the Earth, starring Brendan Fraser; Gil Kenan’s City of Ember, produced by Tom Hanks and starring Saoirse Ronan and Bill Murray; Lone Scherfig’s Berlin Film Festival Opener The Kindness of Strangers, starring Zoe Kazan; and more.
In addition to writing scores, Lockington also composed the STX and Flynn Picture Co logo music, and has written/performed multiple songs including “Stalking Stars,” featured in Ben Affleck’s Oscar-winning feature film Argo and “Move On,” featured in Chris Evans’ directorial debut Before We Go.
Lockington currently divides his time between Los Angeles and his hometown of Toronto, Canada, where he resides with his wife and three children.
