Lakeshore Records is set to release
The Girlfriend—Prime Video Original Series Soundtrack digitally today, September 12, featuring music by composer Ruth Barrett (The Terminal List: Dark Wolf). Barrett’s score inhabits two main themes—an acoustic series of soundscapes for the character Laura and a more modern electronic backdrop for the character Cherry. As the dramatic story progresses, the score becomes darker and crosses over into a more unhinged territory. The Girlfriend starring Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke is streaming worldwide now on Prime Video.
Based on Michelle Frances’ novel of the same name, The Girlfriend follows Laura (Wright), a woman who seemingly has it all: a glittering career, a loving husband, and her precious son, Daniel. Her perfect life begins to unravel when Daniel brings home Cherry (Cooke), a girlfriend who changes everything. After a tense introduction, Laura becomes convinced Cherry is hiding something. Is she a manipulative social climber, or is Laura just paranoid? The truth is a matter of perspective.
Notes Barrett: “Creating two distinct soundscapes for Laura and Cherry was a fun challenge. Laura’s sound is acoustic and shaman-like, with a touch of the 60s/70s.
Cherry’s sound on the other hand, is electronic, cheeky and processed, featuring mad vocal glitchy effects.
As the album progresses, the two worlds collide, becoming increasingly dark, psychological, and chaotic. ”
