Hailee Steinfeld recently opened up about her emotional return to music through her role in the film Sinners. After taking time away from recording to focus on her acting career, she found the opportunity to reconnect with music while working on the film’s soundtrack. Her new song “Dangerous” marks her first musical release since 2023 and reflects her renewed passion for the art.
She explained that stepping back from music was not an easy decision, as it has always been a central part of her identity. Despite focusing on acting, she never lost her love for music and was grateful for the chance to combine both interests in Sinners. The film allowed her to rediscover that part of herself in a meaningful way.
In the movie, Steinfeld plays a character named Mary, who processes the grief of losing her mother through music. This emotional connection to her role helped her channel her own feelings and experiences, deepening her performance. She described the film as a dream project because of its strong musical elements.
The movie, set in the 1930s, features Michael B. Jordan in a dual role and explores themes of love, loss, and healing. For Steinfeld, it wasn’t just another acting job—it was a creative outlet that reignited her passion for music. She felt fortunate to work on a film that allowed her to bring both her talents to the forefront.
As she prepares for her wedding with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Steinfeld’s fans have embraced her return to the spotlight. Known for her powerful performances and artistic range, she continues to balance a high-profile relationship with a flourishing career in both film and music.
