Hollywood Records announces 
the release of Marvel Television’s Ironheart – Vol. 1 (Episodes 1 – 3) Original Soundtrack with music by Dara Taylor (“Straw,” “The Boys: Diabolical,” “Strays”)—available today as the series’ first three episodes launches on Disney+. The digital soundtrack is available at Spotify, Apple Music, and other digital platforms. Ironheart– Vol. 2 (Episode 4 – 6) Original Soundtrack is set for release on July 1—coinciding with the Disney+ debut of the series’ final three episodes. Starring Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, the new series finds the genius inventor in her hometown of Chicago, where she continues to build high tech iron suits while navigating personal and professional challenges.
Taylor delivers a bold, emotionally rich score for Marvel’s “Ironheart,” blending distorted synths, trap percussion, and orchestral layers to reflect Riri Williams’ journey through grief, identity, and legacy. Inspired in part by a voicemail from Taylor’s late father, the music adds personal depth to the series’ exploration of loss and resilience.
Commenting on the score, Taylor says, “Riri Williams is a force of nature whose mind never stops, for better or worse. The score pairs her insatiable thirst for excellence and meaning with curious synths, epic orchestra, and bucket drums as raw as her building materials. On the contrary, the music for the villains is calculated and methodical with processed violins, gothic melodies, and otherworldly vocal textures. Composing the score for ‘Ironheart’ and working with the Marvel team has been one of the great joys of my career, and the freedom to dip my hands in various genre pots was a dream come true.”
