The HBO series Girls comes back January 12. The show has gained attention not only for its humor and portrayal of the modern woman in the big city but also for its impeccable soundtrack. Icona Pop's "I love It" soared up the charts after being featured on an episode, and both fun. and Santigold have written original tracks for the series.
In an interview with Radio.com, Girls' music supervisor Manish Raval reveals what music to expect in the series' third season. Among the artists that will be featured this season are Jenny Lewis, Beck, Lily Allen and Christina Perry, who have all contributed new music from currently unreleased albums. Raval also got Miguel to write a new song exclusively for the show.
"We reached out to him," Raval said. "We are a huge fan of his and very early on in the process [Girls creator and star] Lena [Dunham] said, 'Can we just call him and see if he'll do something?' We did, he said yes. It was very easy, it was very simple."
The new season premieres Sunday, January 12 at 10 p.m. in a two-part special on HBO. Watch the trailer here.
