Soundwaves: Available Now from Lakeshore Records the Original Series Soundtrack for Sweetpea Composed by Isobel Waller-Bridge

Lakeshore Records has to released Sweetpea– Original Series Soundtrack digitally featuring music by Isobel Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Roar, Wicked Little Letters). The upbeat synth score is punctuated with beats and percussive elements that reflect the dark storyline of empowerment at the core of the series.  Starring Ella Purnell, “Sweetpea,” premiered on Thursday, October 10 at midnight on the STARZ app.  On linear, it debuted on STARZ at 8pm ET/PT in the U.S. and on Friday, October 11 at 10pm ET/PT in Canada. The series will air on Sky and streaming service NOW in the UK. The following week, “Sweetpea” will move to Fridays in the U.S.

The six-part episode series stars Ella Purnell as Rhiannon Lewis, a quiet wallflower who develops a vengeful and intoxicatingly liberating taste for murder.  At its core, the series is about a woman finally finding her voice, told through a uniquely dark and comedic lens.

Notes Waller-Bridge: “Creating the score for Sweetpea was a riot. Ella Jones is an amazing director, and her clarity of vision across everything, including the music, gave my process loads of room for experimentation. It was fun for me to really go far with the sound…. To stretch my wings in a new palate”
