If not 100% of the people who have seen "Atlanta", we believe that 99% would agree that it is a work of art. It's a show where every detail is carefully crafted, especially the music.
Music supervisors Jen Malone and Fam Udeorji, collaborating closely with Donald Glover and Stephen, meticulously curated the songs to make the music an additional character. The selection of the music primarily focused on the characters' emotions and the overall atmosphere of the series. Each song was carefully chosen to reflect not only the mood and setting of the scenes but also the specific emotions that the characters were experiencing in those moments. From hip-hop to soul and indie, the series spans a wide range of musical styles, reflecting the diversity and complexity of its characters.
Moreover, the series pays homage to Atlanta's vibrant music scene by featuring local artists and highlighting the city's importance in the music industry. For example, in the second episode of the final season, the song "Warrior" from the Young Stoner Life label, with a standout segment from rapper Lil Keed, is showcased. These carefully selected musical pieces elevate the music to a distinctive and indispensable element of "Atlanta," transcending its role as mere background to become a fundamental narrative component.
