Судно (Борис Рижий)

 Belarusian post-punk scores a vintage-inspired action chase sequence from Twix. An unconventional choice that imbues a Repo Man vibe, and a bit of a throwback to 2020 when this song was inescapable on TikTok.

I Can’t Tell You What to Do

A bit of an on-the-nose closer leading into the credit sequence; Poppy is given a choice that will dictate the firm’s future. The No Wave deep cut (0:16) kicks off straight on the first drop. Some of these art rock groups have strange publishing info, what with all of the comps/singles/catalogue agreements.

The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)

 The boom bap classic plays us out at the end the spot to capitalize on a playful, urban/city running feel. Who doesn’t love encouraging words from Elmo? Very 90s all around.

The Bass

 It’s heating up at The White Lotus. The score backing Piper and her parents at dinner crossfades (15:30) neatly into this house/techno selection, and we cut to Jaclyn, Laurie and Kate dancing with Russian guys at the club.

Barking Owl

Batman vs. Bateman

 Big, expensive, celeb filled parody of modern Batman films. Music is recreating the OG Hans Zimmer score to fit creative. Nice interpolation of the State Farm jingle at (1:01).

What A Man (Edit)

 Slo-mo spot of Jelly Roll smashing the patriarchy with a zero sugar soda. Sounds like an edit combining Linda Lyndell’s 1968 “What A Man” vox and the beat from 1993. Music supervision by Premier.

AMPM

A real R&B yearner with contralto vox and memorable hook. Electric bass bobs and weaves against fluttering rhodes and electric guit accents deep in the field. Break at (2:22).

About Time

A four-on-the-floor house track drawing from Montreal/Kaytranada sound with a pop structure. Gliding synth on a sidechain leading the melody with cycling percussion on top.
