The Opening Theme That Sets the Tone
Every episode opens with “Nemesis” by Benjamin Clementine from his album At Least For Now (Deluxe), maintaining continuity with previous seasons while signaling that familiar faces are about to face unfamiliar challenges. The haunting, piano-driven track perfectly captures the show’s exploration of power, truth, and moral ambiguity in modern journalism.
Nathan Barr’s Original Score: The Emotional Foundation
Nathan Barr composes this year’s score, with a 20-track digital album on Lakeshore Records that includes cues like “We Want to Defect,” “Mia Quits,” and “The Northern Star”. Known for his work on True Blood, The Americans, Carnival Row, and The Diplomat, Barr brings his signature atmospheric tension to UBN’s newsroom chaos.
The score tracks reveal the season’s emotional arc: “Like Riding A Bike” signals Alex’s return, “Mystery Text” builds paranoia around deepfakes and conspiracy, while “Mom” captures Cory’s devastating loss. Each composition enhances character moments without overwhelming them—the mark of exceptional TV scoring.
Standout Licensed Songs From Season 4
The licensed tracks feature artists such as Janelle Monáe, Interpol, Beyoncé, and KALEO, creating a sonic landscape that mirrors the show’s contemporary themes. Here are the most memorable moments:
“Dance Apocalyptic” by Janelle Monáe opens episode 1 with kinetic energy, establishing the newsroom’s frenetic pace and setting expectations for the season ahead.
“Alligator Tears” by Beyoncé from her Grammy-winning Cowboy Carter album plays during Mia’s power move to bring Bradley back, perfectly capturing the manipulation and emotion in high-stakes negotiations.
“Good Day Today” by David Lynch brings synth-noir vibes to a UBN dawn montage, creating an unsettling atmosphere that hints at the darkness beneath corporate smiles.
“Pioneer to the Falls” by Interpol underscores a late-night reckoning in the midseason stretch, its brooding guitars matching the weight of characters facing consequences for their choices.
**”You Don’t Own Me” performed by Chip (Mark Duplass) at the UBA karaoke party becomes a meta commentary on corporate control and personal autonomy.
How the Music Reflects the Story
Showrunner Charlotte Stoudt called the season “harrowing” and “jam packed,” which maps cleanly to the soundtrack’s design. The music swings between bright pop during on-air segments and colder, more ominous cues during private moments—perfectly mirroring the public/private duality that journalists navigate daily.
Season 4 tackles deepfakes, misinformation, corporate cover-ups, and the question of truth in polarized America. The soundtrack reinforces these themes: upbeat songs mask darker realities, while sparse instrumental moments let the weight of lies and consequences breathe.
