Netflix’s Glamorous Drops Two Uplifting Tracks By Joy Ngiaw [EXCLUSIVE]

Ngiaw’s music for Glamorous can be heard in full on July 7th, when the full soundtrack of her music for the show will be released courtesy of Lakeshore Records. “Madolyn” and “Glamorous by Madolyn” are perfect primers for the soundtrack, showcasing the pop music influences and lighthearted tone that Ngiaw curated for the series. Here’s what Joy Ngiaw herself had to say on her intention and process:

The sound of this score represents a departure from my usual orchestral work, embracing a more contemporary and pop-inspired style. It exudes a light-hearted and fun tone throughout, while also incorporating heartfelt and tender moments that add depth to the music. The guiding keywords for this score from the filmmakers are 'sexy,' 'trendy,' and 'intriguing,' with the emotional moments being subtly integrated to ground the overall composition. Something I experimented with in this series is using plug-ins to manipulate traditional orchestral instruments such as the harp, piano, vibes, and even my voice. This aim was to infuse the score with a touch of 'dreamy-ness' and modern flair.
