After a stellar freshman season, the return of “Dear White People” for Season 2 was always going to be one of our anticipated premeires of 2018. But even though this new batch of episodes experiments with its form and has a new framing device for these ten half-hours, there’s one thing that has stayed consistent over the series’ run: a fantastic soundtrack.
Mixing songs from across the decades, this is one Netflix show that has a little bit for everyone: Edvard Grieg, DeJ Loaf, Tyler, the Creator, and Andy Williams, all in one big musical happy family.
Some of these tracks will lodge themselves in your subconscious for the coming weeks and months (that Louis Cole track in Episode 2 is a nuclear-grade earworm). Others will have you flipping through the entire back catalogue. There’s even one song that plays a key role within the show, even if it’s not sung by the original artist.
