As Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is now available to rent or buy on digital, and its Blu-ray release date approaches, some of the special features have started to trickle out. Last week, a deleted scene showed the construction of Smoke and Stack‘s juke joint—a fluidly edited montage without dialogue that’s entertaining to watch, but ultimately feels kind of superfluous. The most recent deleted scene release, however, is more illuminating, putting a spotlight on Delroy Lindo’s Delta Slim as he takes a solo turn at the piano.

The song is “My Preachin” and in the extended shot, Delta Slim sings in profile close to the camera as Miles Caton’s Sammie “Preacher Boy” Moore watches admiringly in the background. You can also spot Pearline (Jayne Lawson) and Mary (Wunmi Mosaku) listening closely too.

It’s a slower, moodier moment tinged with mischief—maybe the sort of song Delta Slim would tend to launch into at the end of a long, boozy night, rather than while the party is still fully raging, as it would be at this moment in Sinners.

Even though it was probably cut for pacing reasons, the scene is still a powerful one, tying into Sinners‘ themes about how music acts as a bridge between generations and enables emotional expressiveness, whether you happen to be a human or a vampire. It’s also quite a lovely showcase for the veteran actor before his character makes his heroic last stand in act three.

Sinners‘ physical release arrives July 8 on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K; you can rent or buy it now on digital platforms.
