Little Voice: Season 1 (Apple TV+ Original Series Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2020 television series of the same name. The album featured compositions for the show by the showrunner and executive producer Sara Bareilles,[1] and songs were performed by the principal cast.[2] The album was led by the single "Little Voice" on June 19, 2020,[3][4] and was preceded by two extended plays: the first one featuring the songs from the first three episodes, were released on July 10,[5] and second featuring songs from the first six episodes were released on July 31, until the full album was released on August 21 by Epic Records.[6]
Background[edit]
According to Sara Bareilles, there were a handful of songs that were included, either Bareilles and co-writer Jessie Nelson wrote it toward from a narrative perspective, or which just happened to sort of fit into the world of the show because they were written at that time in their life. She cited "Coming Back to You" in the second episode, as a song from her life where she was "trying to get back to the purest connection between her and the muse".[7] She wrote the title song "Little Voice" for her eponymous second studio album in 2007 and while submitting the song to Epic Records, the executives told that the song was not strong as the rest of the albums and should be omitted, which felt her upset. When she discussed with Nelson of a theme song, he could not crack a new theme, but however remembered of the track "Little Voice" and sent to her knowing that it would be resonated with the show, which was later approved.[8][1]
