Listening to the soundtrack will also allow fans to take a trip down memory lane.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:Steven Universehas featured so many great songs during its run so far.
All of the songs from the start to episode 120 are on.
All of the major songs.
Some of the shortest ones we omitted.
But we included all the songs in order.
I didnt want to re-color that experience.
I wanted you to hear you Zach grow up.
I want you to hear all of us evolve as songwriters.
The shows come such a long way since then.My eyes were watering.
Weve made so much stuff.
And theres 37 of them that we wanted to include.
Theres just so many.
Dreams we didnt even have yet.
Its really been interesting to revisit.
To hear them without sound effects with this totally new mix.
I grew up listening to so many burned CDs of music from cartoons.
I probably listened toSongs in the Key of Springfieldlike a thousand times.
For example, Stronger Than You was like such a difficult endeavor.
I felt a lot of pressure writing something for Estelle.
I wanted to establish this theme for Garnets songs.
Theres a faint hint of it in The Answer when Ruby and Sapphire have their song.
That comes back in but is treated sort of differently.
Stronger Than You is Garnets pride and victory, a celebration of Garnet as a manifestation of love.
But Here Comes A Thought is how she maintains and protects that love.It has a completely different goal.
As you get to know the characters better, you get to build on what you know about them.
Now that you know more, you know that this character acts like this.
But what breaks that?
What allows that to happen?
How do they need to grow?
What happens when they grow?
Now theres another level and another level of who they are.
I think that ends up happening with the music as well.
We can build on ideas weve established and that allows the songs to become more complex.
There are certain things that we just dont have time to do because its television animation.
But I think part of that feeling is blasting this music in a car with your family.
Part of this music is playing this game with your sibling and your friends.
And if that can happen, then for me, it rounds out the experience of the show.
Steven Universe Soundtrack: Volume 1is currently available for purchase.
