On those rare occasions when the kids are napping in the car or they’re with my husband, I relish the opportunity to listen to “grown-up” music. I’m very open to a wide variety of music genre and recently had an opportunity to check out the Soundtrack to Pretty Little Liars.
Pretty Little Liars is a popular mystery/drama TV show on ABC Family based on a series of novels written by Sara Shepard. The series, which is geared towards teens, follows four girls who’s friendship dissolves after the disappearance of the leader in their group. Only they know what happened and this secret is tearing them apart.
The soundtrack includes a mix of songs played during pivotal scenes within the series. The soundtrack has a very indie, urban feel and includes music from artists like Colbie Caillat and Katie Herzig. The two songs I really enjoyed were Colbie Caillat’s “I Won’t” and Brooke Waggoner’s “Fresh Pair of Eyes.”
“I Won’t” played during the Pilot in a scene where Aria and her family are unpacking after spending a year abroad. The song is about love and loss and the resolve to hold onto a love that’s been lost. And while it’s played during the scene in which her father approachers her about a secret, the artist, like Aria, is committed to staying true to her beliefs and it’s fitting.
“Fresh Pair of Eyes” played during a romantic scene between Aria and Ezra and the lyrics are simple yet profound…”I want to be seen with a fresh pair of eyes.” Since the show is about keeping secrets and truth-telling, it seems fitting to include a song about seeing someone for who they are rather than the stereotypes (or in this case the lies) placed on them.
You can watch Pretty Little Liars on Mondays at 8/7c on ABC Family. To preview the soundtrack or pick up a copy of the album, visit iTunes.
I have been hired by Warner Bros. WBWord division to promote the Pretty Little Liars Soundtrack.
