Soundtrack creator Joshua Safran reveals the songs that got away
Without question, the music licensing budget had to be a huge part of the show, and that involves a lot of hurdles including getting artist approval. Given that, Safran admits there were two songs in particular that still are painful for him to know they just couldn’t make it work.,” he tells EW. “We were only denied by seven artists out of 60 which is crazy, but all of the artists gave a reason except for Justin. There was not any word back.
The other situation is a little more delicate, given that it wasn’t a rights issue so much as a monetary one. “actually gave us a song, which I never thought she would do. I just thought she wouldn’t let her voice come out of somebody else’s mouth,” Safran explains. “The song was really important to me — it was ‘Delicate.’ But we ended up having to cut the budget, and it got cut. Episode 6 we cut all of the songs except for one, because we had to lose a chunk of money to make the show.
The challenge is two-fold, making sure both the two keys and the BPMs , which is essentially the rhythm of the song, match. “First I had to find songs that related to the characters, then I had to make sure the BPMs and the keys matched, then I had to have the mash-up made,” Safran details his process. “I would do a preliminary mash-up on my computer, but I’m not a music producer and then I’d send them to a music producer when I thought they worked. He would make them.
