Netflix Kaleidoscope soundtrack: All songs featured in the show
By Mads Lennon
Kaleidoscope is Netflix’s first big new Original series, and it’s an exciting way to start the year since, unlike most Netflix dramas, you can watch this one in virtually any order (besides the finale). Fans are sure to enjoy the show’s soundtrack, which features music by The Rolling Stones, alt-j, Funkadelic, and more.
Chad Birmingham was the music editor behind Kaleidoscope and has previously worked in the music department on several other Netflix projects, including the upcoming movie The Pale Blue Eye and previous films like Someone Great. He is also the music editor on Emily in Paris, so clearly, he knows what he’s doing!
