Rigoberta Bandini’s artistry in film and music surged to the forefront this summer. The Barcelona-based talent also released I just want love, the principal theme for the romance at the heart of Red, White and Blue Blood. This song anchors the emotional arc of the love story between Alex Claremont-Díaz and Prince Henry, a tale that Prime Video released globally on Friday, August 11.
Love songs for you, featured on the La empressa album, will accompany one pivotal moment in the film. Adapted from Casey McQuiston’s celebrated novel of the same name, the movie follows the relationship between its two central characters, played by Taylor Zakhar Perez, Nicholas Galitzine, and Uma Thurman. The soundtrack offers a universal experience, inviting audiences from Canada, the United States, and beyond to enjoy the crossover appeal of a story that travels across borders rather than staying local to one market.
Beyond the music linked to Bandini’s Benidorm Fest 2022 appearance, the soundtrack for Red, White and Blue Blood also features a rich selection of Latin tracks. Tracks like Echalo pa’ ca by Darell, Lalo Ebratt, and Sofia Reyes; Qué calor featuring J Balvin and El Alfa; and Tití Me Preguntó by Bad Bunny are among the highlights, bringing a vibrant, global flavor to key scenes.
In this collaboration, Rigoberta Bandini’s talents in music and storytelling converge once again. The performer is expanding into cinema and narrative work, while also showcasing his skills as a voice actor. Notable characters across various projects include Callillou, Boo from Monsters SA, Chihiro Ogino from Spirited Away, Wendy from Peter Pan, Kim Possible, Merida from Brave, and Anna from Frozen, illustrating a versatile career that spans music, animation, and live action.
Alex Claremont-Diaz, portrayed by Taylor Zakhar Perez, is the son of the United States president, while British Prince Henry is portrayed by Nicholas Galitzine. Both characters share charm, public admiration, and a sharp wit, yet they start as rivals who can barely stand each other. Their worlds collide in a way that tests loyalties and reshapes perceptions as the two navigate a high-profile, transatlantic rivalry.
Separated by oceans, their feud seems unbreakable until a public dispute at a royal event jolts the tabloids and strains diplomacy. Officials and families step in to manage reputations, forcing an uneasy truce. As they pretend to mend fences, a surprising friendship begins to emerge, revealing emotions neither expected and a potential bond that could redefine their futures.
Based on McQuiston’s bestselling novel, Red, White and Blue Blood marks the directorial and screenplay debut of Matthew Lopez, acclaimed for his stage work including The Inheritance. The film blends witty dialogue with heartfelt moments, delivering a contemporary romance that resonates with a global audience.
The project features a prominent cast, with production led by Amazon Studios and executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter, alongside Casey McQuiston, Michael Riley McGrath, Matthew Lopez, and Michael S. Constable. The collaboration brings together seasoned producers and a talented ensemble to bring this beloved story to life on screen, appealing to fans of romantic comedies and modern queer cinema alike.
