Kier Lehman has drug paintings. Not only is he paid to spend time with Issa Rae and Melina Matsoukas, but will have to talk to them, because he is the insecure music manager. These are labels, artists, editors, the machinery of the music industry, to guarantee the rights of the soundtrack of the series, in addition to connecting songs that are suitable for the flavor and sound of the show.

Unlike a main exhibition of reproducible netpaintings such as CSI, in which Lehman painted in the early 2000s, his possible musical options such as the romantic madness of his main characters are also enjoyed. “Sometimes the paintings in a program in which these are manufacturers that have a concept of what they want and who want many more recommendations on my component to locate the sound of this project,” Lehman told Complex through Phone. “But Issa and Melina have very strong opinions. It is very collaborative and that is why [the results] are so good. “

In the first episodes of the Moment season, which will be presented on July 23, on HBO, insecuration advances the same rich balance of independent artists and wonderful existing names. You will listen to Playboi Carti (but not the song you could expect), Anderson. Paak, SZA and others that I will not ruin. And when you listen to those songs, and improve the emotion of a scene, or that you have an original party for 2017, they know that those decisions had not easily arrived. “Issa directs many of those decisions,” Lehman said, “but Melina is also very vocal and comprehensive. He has very strong concepts and concepts about how he imagines the scene to reproduce, and little frequency do not agree and we will have conversations about the reasons why safe paintings in relation to other options. It is a very worried process, more than the maximum of the projects I painted.

But as any screen fan knows, the paintings are everything. For a What Season review on stores, Lehman spoke with complex complex complex, days and new songs made specifically for the soundtrack.

When did you wrap music for the second season? I ask why there are quite recent options in the first episodes. This season is even more scheduled than the first season. The last time, I think we have finished all the episodes before the transmission of the first, but this season, we are about to finish the third episode and will begin to be transmitted in two weeks. So the paintings there while spreading. It is lovely because we can be so timely and existing and new because we can get new music and have it on the screen that will be transmitted in a few weeks. It is a wonderful way to make sure we don’t use music that other screens have used. But it also makes things a bit more complicated in terms of authorizations and licenses to time approvals to complete the screens.

Is it for paintings so close to the first? It is a bit for HBO. Usually, his series is over before they look. But in a NetPaintings program, the paintings for a whole program that will be transmitted a few days later.

What is your main musical discovery approach? Many ways. I have relationships with the main labels, editors, managers, artists and agents that provide the music of independent artists. I constantly get music, all day, from all. I check what I launched, then I am active on Twitter and even on Instagram, following other resources, either its complex or its fader or its fact. I am an indication of artists whose other people speak, that artists are reviewed and reserved through magazines. I also have non -public relationships and acceptance resources as true for applicable intelligent music that I have shaped with the time they know what I am looking for and how I work. Simply keep your eye on things that would make sense to the show. If I listen to a rapper, I will verify this.

So you and I have the same life. It is very similar to being in terms of daily and sifted launch to see the value spend time.

What is the maximum unusual way in which a musical piece you used is in your hands? There is a record corporation called Ninja Tune and one of its representatives is a DJ with a club night in London called R & He. He plays all R&B female and hip-hop. We started talking and he told me that he had a set that are all the pussy songs and that he plays “broken pussy” of lack of trust. I realize that it was funny and we began percentage of artists and he sent me an artist, Princess V, who, I think, is funny and tried to enter this new season. She also goes through Princess Vitarah. I still don’t have it in him, but it’s anything that is in the sense of what we use.

Does Solange are still worried in the music variety process? Solange is not worried in the season. During the first season, he worked in his album, so more sedentary at that time. Always on a trip, however, in the studies and through the writing and generation of the disk, so I think it had a little more time to help us with music, by sending concepts and reading lists. But now it’s an excursion and I don’t think I have much time to help.

Have you talked that Kendrick runs with you with the budget to delete “well” to start last season: the highest budget this season? We have a little more money, but at all times the same type of disorders in terms of power the music we need. The screen has a lot of music; On average, ten songs consisting of the episode, and in the first two episodes of this season, we have even more than that. There are episodes with up to 15 or 20 songs. Major budget, representative with expectations: the season at the moment we need to build on what we created last season, with respect to the sound and the type of artist we use. But we definitely depend on independent artists and emerging artists, which is helping the budget.

I love the fact that the first of the second season opens with Andersonarraypaak and “Sared Money” by Knxwledge. Yes. We are all great enthusiasts. Paak, great Knxwledge enthusiasts, great hip-hop enthusiasts of Los Angeles, and this album [yes, Lawd!] It was a great coming of its sounds. We review the departure to provide a vital artist from Los Angeles there [to start the season], to see to compare or adjust the power and resonance of this Kendrick use. We are looking to locate what can be right next to that, anything that is connected to the angels that feels exciting and new, and attracts it to the show. We cross a lot of clues before the favorite in which we agreed. We can have another in the program, at some point.

The exhibition favors the R&B and the rap, female artists, independent artists, Los Angeles artists – What are the other guiding principles of the insecure soundtrack? We need it to sound new and unique, like no other television program. A few years ago, there were not many screens that use Hip-Hop and R&B, so the undeniable fact of having this music made it unique. But now there are screens that attract a lot of attention to those styles, so we have to delineate our sound. Atlanta has Atlanta artists, and we need to provide artists from angels and women and Indies, Choice R&B. An artist like Mocky, who we used last season, is not a classic R&B album, but moves and works for us.

SZA is a real emotional anchor in the first episodes of the second season. How was your music so full? We associate ourselves with RCA for our soundtrack this season. (They also launched our soundtrack for last season). We are making plans the new SZA album and, due to our appointment with RCA, we were able to download songs from his album very early. I downloaded those clues and transmitted them to Issa and Melina, and we love them all immediately. They felt that his music, his emotion, was so well hooked with the exhibition and his scripts that we will have to have it.

Will you have original music this season as you did last season? Yes, run there now. We have intelligent music through artists we had in the first season, such as Kari Faux and TT the artist, and we also expand this with some other artists that we will use several times the season due to the way his music is connected.

What is the maximum dicta song that you have placed in the series? A song in which you did not know how it would adapt or receive, but it ended up working? It is difficult. The procedure for locating music is very complete, with other interested people: [for last season, they were editors, producers, me, Solange. We all weigh and talk about that and when this song is intelligent for the scene, we all feel safe. I don’t think there are times when we ask ourselves; We are all convinced that this is this.

I think that possible options that are rarely on television would possibly be the maximum classic R&B songs. As King or Lianne Havas. Make Lianne Havas play when Issa is cultivated sex with Lawrence, which, for me, there was a bit what we would generally do with a more chosen R&B sound. But then, it is without delay according to the “girlfriend” of Kap G, which is a heavier rap song and a small competitive. Moving from the intimate, emotional moment and considered the most impetuous statement, “Just Foll to your girlfriend” is something great in the program, this diversity with which we play.

I check Twitter to see what other people say after episodes like to get those comments about what works, what does not work, which artists excited other people, what songs Shazam have while they were seeing. Even sometimes, they listen to artists who publish when they hear their songs in the series. Helping independent artists to obtain an exhibition is one of the greatest awards of this. This provides them with inspiration and validation to continue doing what they do. Even if a song does not end up doing it, we take hand with interest. We liked it, you know?
