Eight years ago, Issa Rae set out to depict the Black experience with storytelling that honed in on the beauty of regularness and vulnerability. Using South Los Angeles as its backdrop, Insecure has followed her fictional self and cohort of friends far beyond its originating web series, The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl , to portray the complex, real and messy transition into adulthood. Now, the HBO series is nearing its end with its fifth and final season.
Over the course of four seasons, Rae and co-creator Larry Wilmore have packaged the complexities of making mistakes and growing up into minute episodes of Black joy for millennials — and the music has had a heavy hand in its narratives.
West Coast-influenced, female-charged, uncharted and unapologetically Black, the soundtrack has become an counterpart to the series, speaking for the characters when the script simply cannot do so.
In fact, the show has become a vehicle for the undiscovered, as-yet-released and classic throwbacks, all material that Rae, composer Raphael Saadiq and music supervisor, Kier Lehman , have recruited from their own personal collections. With 10 new episodes ahead, the last stretch is set on wrapping up its canon of subplots it shot out amid the lockdown. To recap, Issa Dee reconnected with a new and improved love interest Lawrence Jay Ellis , while her longtime friendship with Molly Yvonne Orji hit a stormy roadblock.
Based on a few of glimpses from the season, Lehman and co. Insecure is ending with Season 5. What was the first order of business when it came to working on this one? I wanted to make sure that we lived up to the expectation and the standard, that we'd sat with the show and past seasons and really give a great soundtrack as far as the songs in the show, but also the soundtrack album that can and will be released along with it.
That would hopefully be the strongest one that we've had so far. And to really leave fans with something that hopefully will continue to be a part of their lives like our playlists and soundtracks have been so far. Did you conduct one this time around? We did. We did a couple of camps with them, leading up to the season, and as we were working on episodes. What was the production timeline amid the pandemic? Yeah, we finished the last season at the beginning of the pandemic.
This whole season was done through the pandemic, so were never together when we worked on this until the very last day basically. We did all of our meetings over Zoom and really communicated through e-mail. All of our spotting sessions and music review meetings were either over Zoom or just sending files and clips back and forth. How did you navigate that method? I think the advantage is that we are already in Season 5, so the process had been established and our workflow has been already developed in a way that we all know what we're doing and what's expected and how we communicate with each other.
Even in our meetings in the past, when we were in person, it wasn't really like we sat there and debated stuff for a long time. Usually, we would get together and go through things pretty quickly and present music and Issa would let us know pretty quickly and directly things that she liked and the things that she didn't like. I would know what to take back from that and to keep working on and bring back and present her.
We weren't really in a system of spending a lot of time talking through things in person, so transforming to this way of working together was a pretty smooth process. Viewers saw the storylines and emotions reach an all-time high during Season 4. As a curator, how did you deal with that pressure to match the increasing storylines when it comes to the music?
