I May Destroy You soundtrack - all the songs and music in season one
The music of Michaela Coel's I May Destroy You is a vital element to the series.
Michaela Coel's powerful drama series I May Destroy You has rightly sparked questions conversations about the issue of sexual consent, which is raised and examined again and again throughout the series.
But the show's soundtrack has also attracted attention, with its use of female artists and current songs that wouldn't feel out of place in a London club right now (if they were open, at least) - none of the songs feel dated, which suits the modern, millennial lifestyle that central character Arabella (Coel) both lives and writes about in her novels.
Artists featured in the show's soundtrack range from Little Simz (“Picture Perfect”) and Hardy Caprio (“Rapper”), to Sweet Female Attitude (“Flowers”) and Paigey Cakey (“Boogie”).
Read on for the songs and music featured in HBO/BBC drama I May Destroy You.
