The Get Down Part II: Original Soundtrack From The Netflix Original Series

The second soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann and Stephen Adly Guirgis’ series The Get Down has plenty to like: a new Nas track about the ravages of PCP (“Angels With Dirty Faces”), Alessia Cara’s uplifting “The Other Side”—not to mention a reprise of 6LACK and Malay’s “Shaolin’s Theme”. But the album’s hero is Herizen Guardiola, who, for a stretch of three tracks (“I’m My #1”, “I’ll Keep My Light in My Window” and “Toy Box”), synthesises classic disco, hip-hop and contemporary pop with sparkle and grace. Oh, and she stars in the show, too.
