about

Queen of the South—Original Series Score, presented here on 2-LP vinyl set in a gatefold sleeve, was composed by the legendary Giorgio Moroder--his return to TV/film scoring after more than three decades--and Raney Shockne. Moroder and Shockne's score is polished electronic brutality that encapsulates vintage synthesizers, classical and Latin elements, and creates a new musical fusion.    Building on Moroder / Shockne's original 'Electro-Noir' style, they have broadened their palette and together built on Giorgio's early aesthetics from such films as Midnight Express, American Gigolo and Cat People. The sweeping 28-track collection is a riveting chronicle that captures the show's blistering saga of blood and power.  

Says Showrunner/EP Natalie Chaidez: “If cocaine was music, it would be the driving, adrenaline fueled score written by Raney Shockne and Giorgio Moroder for Queen of the South... The perfect accompaniment to our epic tale of survival, ambition and power in the cartel world… Teresa Mendoza is the female Scarface, with the music to match"

Says Moroder: “Raney said, "Do you think the King of Disco could come and score the Queen of the South with me?".  With Raney Shockne as a collaborator, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to push the possibilities of the electronic music score farther than ever before.”
