Los Angeles -
August 15, 2017 - This Is Us (Music
from the Series), a companion to the show
America loves, is available September 15 via UMe. This Is Us: The
Complete First Season will be available on DVD three
days earlier so fans can relive all the moments along with the music from
the hit show. With instantly recognizable hits and classics, an original
song and a compelling score, the soundtrack features 20 songs
curated by “This Is Us” Creator/Executive Producer Dan Fogelman and his
team, music supervisor Jennifer Pyken, and composer/musician Siddhartha
Khosla. Each musical element is carefully woven throughout the series,
with the songs clearly defining a moment or serving as a gentle guide
through the complex emotional journey.
Nominated for 10 Emmy Awards including Outstanding Drama Series,
"This Is Us" chronicles the Pearson family across the decades:
from Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) as young parents
in the 1980s and 1990s to their now adult kids Kevin
(Justin Hartley), Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Randall (Sterling K. Brown)
searching for love, fulfillment and healing in the present
day. This grounded, life-affirming dramedy reveals how the events in our
lives – both big and small – impact who we become,
and how the connections we share with each other can transcend time,
distance and even death. Chris Sullivan, Susan Kelechi Watson and Ron
Cephas Jones also star. “This Is Us” Season 2 premieres Tuesday,
September 26 at 9pm on NBC.
The soundtrack opens with "Death With Dignity" by Sufjan
Stevens, instantly recognizable as a tone-setting music cue from the
series’ debut episode, and concludes with "This Is Us Score
Suite" by Khosla. Also featured is a rare cover version of
Peter Gabriel’s "Come Talk To Me" by Khosla’s critically
acclaimed band Goldspot, which has been praised by Gabriel himself, and
“We Can Always Come Back To This,” the Khosla-composed original song
performed by Brian Tyree Henry in Season 1’s pivotal “Memphis”
episode. The soulful, Stax-inspired song connected with the show’s
audience, topping Billboard’s
Blues Singles chart at No. 1 for four consecutive weeks and reaching No.
12 on iTunes’ Top 100 Songs chart.
In continuing with the personal theme of familial relationships of the
show, Goldspot’s "Evergreen Cassette (Tape Mix)” draws on Khosla’s
early childhood experience of living in India with his grandparents while
his parents were in the U.S., working and attending graduate
school. His only form of communication with his parents was being
sent an evergreen-colored cassette tape by his mother, who would speak to
him, sing songs and tell him stories. Long before the show was conceived,
“This Is Us” creator Dan Fogelman was an early fan and supporter of
Khosla’s Goldspot.
This Is Us: The
Complete First Season DVD includes all 18 episodes as
well as the companion series, “The Aftershow," that explores the
emotional dramatic performances with the cast and creators. Each DVD
comes with a free 8x8 Shutterfly Photo Book ($29.99 Value) Offer. Turn
your favorite memories into a “This Is Us” photo book everyone can
cherish.
From the writer and directors of Crazy,
Stupid, Love, the team of Dan Fogelman, John Requa and Glenn
Ficarra come together again for “This Is Us.”
Dan Fogelman, Jess Rosenthal, Ken Olin, John Requa, Glenn Ficarra,
Charlie Gogolak, Isaac Aptaker, Elizabeth Berger executive produce. "This
Is Us" is produced by 20th Century Fox Television.
