Amid the conversations surrounding the most impressive film performances, you’ve likely heard the term “method acting.” In a nutshell, the practice refers to an actor literally becoming their character — think Lady Gaga in “House of Gucci” and Joaquin Phoenix in “Joker.” Such dedication to a role allows for the performer to get inside their character’s head, and Sofia Carson adopted a similar tactic when preparing the role of Cassie in “Purple Hearts.” Telling us that she spent four years living “with this character, this young woman” before writing the original soundtrack for “Purple Hearts,” Carson explained that such dedication to Cassie’s voice enabled her to put pen to paper in an authentic capacity.
“I had never written a soundtrack before or written songs that had to serve a particular purpose for a story. It’s a very different experience than writing whatever you’re feeling in that moment. I had to write songs through Cassie’s perspective, not my own,” Carson said. “To write these songs honestly and truthfully, I had to dive into Cassie’s heart like I would in my own.”
