The La La Land score by Justin Hurwitz is a masterpiece that perfectly captures the whimsical, romantic, and bittersweet essence of the film. The music is a fusion of jazz, classical, and pop that blends seamlessly with the story and characters.
From "Mia Gets Home", to "Herman's Habit" the score takes the listener on an emotional journey that is both uplifting and heartbreaking. Hurwitz's use of leitmotifs and recurring themes ties the score together, creating a cohesive and unforgettable musical experience. It's no wonder that the score won multiple awards, including an Academy Award for Best Original Score.
Fun fact: The La La Land score by Justin Hurwitz was recorded in just three days with a 90-piece orchestra.
The soundtrack has a few of these composed pieces on it, but the double LP of the score feels much more in depth and includes some of my favourites. If you're a fan of Justin Hurwitz, La La Land, or movie scores in general, I urge you to pick this up.
The track "Chicken On A Stick" is a particular standout, showcasing Hurwitz's skillful blending of different genres and moods. This is a must-have for any vinyl collection and is sure to be a favourite for years to come.
