In the penultimate episode of this season, “Hella Disrespectful,” Issa apologizes to a coworker she’s been at odds with and offers the explanation that she’s been “lost in the heat of it all.” The quote is a line from Frank’s song “Lost” which appeared on his debut album Channel Orange. Over the course of its two seasons the show’s soundtrack has often lead or landed the story of the episode and has become its very own character in the process.Ī group of Redditors recently discovered that Rae’s show has been sneaking Frank Ocean lyrics into every episode of its second season.

In period pieces it can be used to establish historical accuracy as when the bouncy synth in Corey Hart’s 1984 classic “Sunglasses at Night” played quietly in the background of hearthrob Steve’s car during a scene from last year’s nostalgic summer hit Stranger Things to underscore-if the coiffed hair and letterman jackets didn’t already-that it was an '80s show. When music appears on TV it typically plays the supporting role. ![]()
