On HBO’s hit comedy series Insecure, viewers follow protagonist Issa Dee as she stumbles and triumphs her way through life in Los Angeles, one awkward adventure at a time. For Issa Rae, the show’s creator and star, music is just as important as casting. In this episode of Showstopper, we talk to composer Raphael Saadiq and music supervisor Kier Lehman about how they give the series its distinct West Coast sound. We also hear from Yvonne Orji, who plays Issa’s bestie Molly, about how the show’s songs and score give her character a special dimension.
