“In composing the score for The Fire Inside, I aimed to balance support for Claressa Shield’s transformative journey with the rhythmic and percussive essence of boxing,” Tamar-kali shared about the score. “The instrumental blend of strings, percussion, modern electronic sounds, and brass allowed the music to convey a spectrum of experiences, from daily struggles to profound emotional moments, culminating in the grandeur of the Olympics.”
