Whenever I mentioned this interview opportunity to my editor, we mentioned your fans on Twitter.
Music supervisor Rob Lowry says that the familiarity of songs like “ Positions” by Ariana Grande in “Just Another Girl on MTA” is a “powerful moment.” Lowry’s work ranges from slasher comedy film Freaky to comedy drama series The Bold Type, so he was more than prepared to tackle the task of creating a unique sound for each of Manhattan’s wealthy characters.Īfter connecting with Lowry about my appreciation of the soundtrack, I met with him over Zoom to chat about the job of a music supervisor, our favorite soundtracks, and what’s to come for HBO’s latest teen drama.
Scattered throughout the series are familiar names like Frank Ocean and Tinashe, but there’s opportunity to discover non-mainstream artists like Q and Jessie Ware. As the reboot’s pilot begins, the audience is introduced to “All My Girls Like to Fight” by London-based singer Hope Tala. In the original Gossip Girl, predominantly indie rock and indie pop were heard throughout the entirety of the series, which is the prominent difference between the reboot and its predecessor. With celebrity appearances from Billy Porter and Princess Nokia to hearing familiar songs from Tierra Whack and Doja Cat, the 2021 reboot kept the luxurious, expensive energy that is expected from the show. Although the reboot varies from the original concerning its storyline, LGBTQ+ representation, and diverse cast, the soundtrack is as significant as its predecessor. When HBO Max announced that Gossip Girl would be reviving, fans wondered what would come of the beloved drama in a modern setting.
A soundtrack for a movie or television show can be a memorable opportunity for the music supervisor to engage with its audience.
