Electronic music pioneer Giorgio Moroder has teamed up with producer Raney Shockne to create the soundtrack for a USA crime drama Queen Of The South.
Here’s what their label has to say about the album:
The album was informed by Moroder’s work on soundtracks like ‘Midnight Express’, ‘American Gigolo’, and ‘Cat People’, capturing the kind of operatic grandeur that can’t help but forecast tragedy while also reflecting the series’ high-stakes thrills.
“If cocaine was music, it would be [this] driving, adrenaline-fueled score,” said Natalie Chaidez, the series’ showrunner and executive producer. “It’s the perfect accompaniment to our epic tale of survival, ambition and power in the cartel world.”
The album is available now on vinyl via Invada Records and digitally via Amazon and streaming services. You can preview the soundtrack below:

Maybe it works better in the context of the visuals, but as a stand alone listening experience, what I heard doesn’t do it for me JMO.
