# Music of Daisy Jones & the Six

This short description is INTENTIONALLY "none" &#x2D; please see WP:SDNONE before you consider changing it!
The music to the 2023 Amazon Prime Video streaming television series Daisy Jones & the Six features original music produced by Blake Mills, with the contributions from fellow musicians Phoebe Bridgers, Chris Weisman, Marcus Mumford, Taylor Goldsmith and Tony Berg amongst others and lead vocals performed by the lead cast Riley Keough and Sam Claflin. Several classical songs from the 1970s were selected by music supervisor Frankie Pine to be used in the series, while the incidental music is underscored by British musician Tom Howe.
11 tracks that were originally written for the series have been compiled into a promotional studio album entitled Aurora, the fictional album that was featured in the novel. It was released on March 1, 2023, by Atlantic Records, led by two promotional singles. Other original songs were released separately, with those being combined with that of Aurora, into separate extended plays released during the course of the series' premiere from March 3–24.

## Background

Music was an integral part of the show and the novel. Taylor Jenkins Reid, the showrunner, recruited American musician Blake Mills to produce the album, along with fellow record producer Phoebe Bridgers and singer-songwriter Chris Weisman. As Reid felt she was not a musician, said "I hear something in my head, but it's not anything that anyone could make into a song. So the idea that people are going to create this album is incredibly exciting to me." The cast members had to rehearse singing during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown to get into the characters, as the fictional band was portrayed as a homage to the 1970s band Fleetwood Mac. Mills felt it as an opportunity to subvert and create a guitar personality which was present in the 1970s, to replicate the authentic music of that era.
Tony Berg, who co-produced the soundtrack, said that on the challenges he had on rewriting the 1970s rock sound into an album with a much younger fanbase, saying that: "When you work with singers at the professional level, the microcosm of a band amplifies everything. Take what The Beatles did from ’63 to ’70. They made the Earth spin the other way around. It was hard to do without sampling or copying seventies musicians, but this album resonates with an 18-year-old all the way up to a 60- or 80-year-old."

## Writing and recording

Mills and Tony Berg worked on 24 original songs created for the film, which took over three years to write. Berg spent over three months in the writing room, discussing with Mills how to edit the scenes to songs without making it a musical. The songs were written by Bridgers, Mills, and Berg's daughter, musician Z Berg, while also featuring collaborations from Marcus Mumford, Taylor Goldsmith, Chris Weisman, Cass McCombs, Matt Sweeney, Barbara and Ethan Gruska of The Belle Brigade contributing to the soundtrack.
To gain more exposure to the songwriting process, Riley Keough and Sam Claflin were brought in during the writing of "Let Me Down Easy" which was called as a "joyous experience" due to the mutual relationships. He added "My most salient recollections are recording vocals with Sam and Riley and just watching them grow as musicians. When producing these music sessions, we always made sure to have the context and immersion in the plot as well as their character development. At the end of Episode 5 when they record “Let Me Down Easy” in the studio, it was magic, and that's really how this stuff works."

## Aurora

Aurora is the promotional studio album released by Atlantic Records, which is also the fictional album recorded by the band in the novel. The album had 11 original songs produced by Blake Mills and featured lead vocals by Riley Keough and Sam Claflin, which was officially announced on January 25, 2023, and was led by two singles – "Regret Me" and "Look At Us Now (Honeycomb)". The album was intended to release along with the show on March 3, 2023, but instead released two days earlier and was published into physical form as vinyl records on March 2.
