Hollywood Records releases Marvel Television's Agatha All Along: Vol. 1 (Episodes 1-5) Original Soundtrack that includes the fan favorite song "The Ballad of the Witches' Road" written by Oscar-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez and score composed by Christophe Beck and Michael Paraskevas. The digital album is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other digital platforms. Listen to the Official playlist here.
Agatha All Along follows the enigmatic witch Agatha Harkness, portrayed by the brilliant Kathryn Hahn. The series blends comedy, mystery, and supernatural elements, and the song and score play a pivotal role in driving the narrative and creating its unique atmosphere.
Composers Christophe Beck and Michael Paraskevas, who also served as composers for WandaVision, commented, "We loved diving back into the witchy world of Westview to further explore Agatha's journey. Faced with the challenge of expressing empathy for a dark antihero, we subverted the conventional superhero sound and crafted an eclectic palette that leans into the strange and twisted. Additionally, we weave Bobby and Kristen's catchy tunes throughout the show to create a seamless, musical undercurrent between song and score. As Agatha's coven encounters trial after trial, the score creeps across an array of musical genres, all connected with prominent themes and magical leitmotifs that accompany audiences down the Witches' Road."
The soundtrack includes four versions of "The Ballad of the Witches' Road," plus a score version that plays thematically and practically throughout the entire show, with different stylistic versions accompanying the various episodes.
