Timothée Chalamet has a singing talent. Are the pop stars and theater legends relieved that he’s found success as an indie favorite rather than becoming a versatile star on Disney Channel like Zendaya? That’s still up for discussion. He’s set to appear in *A Complete Unknown*, releasing on Christmas Day, where he’ll showcase his vocal skills. Although he's well-versed in rapping, which isn’t exactly folk-inspired, you might wonder why he’s been given this opportunity to sing. So, let’s dive into his extensive background in music, including the latest evidence: the soundtrack for *A Complete Unknown*.
Chalamet captivated everyone with his portrayal of Oscar Lindquist in the production of Sweet Charity at Fiorello H. La Guardia High School’s Concert Hall.
He featured in a Woody Allen film that saw limited release in the U.S. due to the allegations against Allen involving sexual misconduct and child abuse. While Chet Baker may have delivered a superior performance, there's no doubt that Chalamet is indeed singing in this scene.
While filming the new Wonka movie in 2021, Timothée Chalamet was spotted by fans showcasing his singing skills on video. After seeing the footage, I can confirm that he was indeed performing while perched on a moving vehicle.
His most impressive singing performance so far.
He performed a rap live on television, showcasing his talents not only as a singer but also as a rapper.
This film was released in 2016, just a year prior to his big break in Call Me by Your Name. I'm not sure what the storyline is, but the trailer alone shows that he can sing even while driving.
Although Chalamet doesn't perform any singing in this video, it highlights instances where he's played characters involved in a band.
Timothée Chalamet's journey into rap predates his SNL sketch alongside Pete Davidson. He actually started honing his skills during his high school years. This video is the second that showcases his ability to rap in addition to singing. It also highlights his previous status as a well-known fan of Nicki Minaj, often referred to as a Barb.
One of his top original rap tracks features lines like, "Homeland, Homeland / Now it's Domeland / Means I’m getting some action every day" and "His flow is weak / Mine hits hard." (He used to star in the Showtime series Homeland a while ago.)
This artist, who sings and raps, is also capable of creating a thoughtfully arranged collection of music.
Back in 2011, he recorded his own singing parts.
His most successful song so far.
The music for A Complete Unknown was released on December 20, and it’s clear that it’s Timmy! Although he’s putting on a Dylan-like style, if you’re familiar with Chalamet’s voice, you can tell it’s him. Listening to this also brings to mind that Dylan doesn’t really have what you’d call a “great voice.” While he’s definitely a powerful singer, he’s not exactly in the same league as Mariah Carey. With that in mind, it’s actually quite good.
