The Umbrella Academy sets itself apart from the crowded superhero entertainment landscape in several ways. The idea of a found family and the spectacle of an apocalyptic orgy may appeal to viewers, but The Umbrella Academy is known for its visual creations and aural compositions. Despite its success, it's hard to ignore how integral The Umbrella Academy's score was to the show's originality.
Before the second season began, show creator Steve Blackman Tell Parade . "The music is its own character in the show, and it's fun to counterpoint a song to a scene where they're not supposed to blend together, but surprisingly, they do." Black Mann is right, on paper these song choices shouldn't work together, but take Season 2 as an example; the soundtrack includes Frank Sinatra, The Backstreet Boys and "Gerard Way " by My Chemical Romance. The Backstreet Boys are supporters of a drag-out fight? Maybe not, but the show's commitment to its anachronistic musical choices continues to succeed in its third season.
The Umbrella Academy Season 3 soundtrack is as unpredictable as ever, featuring songs from Kenny Loggins, Queen, and Nelly and Jeremy Renner Yes, that Jeremy Renner song. Here's every classic and danceable track from every new episode.
