Three Women Soundtrack (2024) Guide

Anchored by luminous, vulnerable performances from Shailene Woodley, Betty Gilpin, and DeWanda Wise, Starz's provocative drama Three Women transforms Lisa Taddeo's groundbreaking bestseller into an unfiltered exploration of female desire, trauma, and autonomy. Structured around grieving writer Gia (Woodley) traversing the United States to chronicle women's secret longings, the ten-episode series weaves together three deeply personal journeys: Lina's (Gilpin) passionate suburban rebellion, Sloane's (Wise) negotiated open marriage, and Maggie's (Gabrielle Creevy) painful pursuit of justice following an illicit high school romance. Striking a delicate balance between literary intimacy and raw emotional reckoning, the series lays bare the radical courage required for women to reclaim ownership over their own bodies and stories.

Curated by supervisor Liza Richardson (The White Lotus) alongside a deeply evocative original score by composer Isobel Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Emma.), the Three Women Season 1 soundtrack mirrors the complex emotional interiority of its characters. Moving fluidly between eras and genres, the sonic landscape features two iconic bookends from Bruce Springsteen ('Human Touch', 'Fire'), alongside Chaka Khan's ecstatic funk anthem 'Ain't Nobody', Tears for Fears' timeless 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World', and Kings of Leon's 'Notion'. From the dreamy intimacy of Cigarettes After Sex and Little Dragon to the timeless ache of Etta James' 'A Sunday Kind of Love' and Christine and the Queens, the music serves as an invisible confessional scoring each woman's quietest desires.
