The complete soundtrack for Netflix’s new drama Black Rabbit has been released, featuring original songs by The Strokes’ guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. with vocals from star Jude Law. The series, which debuted on September 18, 2025, uses a diverse mix of music to tell the story of two brothers navigating New York’s criminal underworld. The soundtrack includes everything from classic rock to modern indie hits, carefully selected to enhance the show’s tense atmosphere.
The musical identity of Black Rabbit is built on two pillars: an original score by composers Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans, and a wide range of licensed songs chosen by music supervisor Gabe Hilfer. The show also features a special guest appearance by singer RAYE, who performs both an original track and a classic cover within the story.
The Composers and Musical Direction
The original score for Black Rabbit was composed by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans, the same team behind the music for the hit series Ozark. Their score for the series includes 18 individual tracks that total over one hour of music. The score is available to stream on major platforms like Apple Music and Spotify.
The pair are known for creating tense, atmospheric music that complements dramatic storytelling. Their previous work includes shows like Tokyo Vice and Tulsa King. For Black Rabbit, they created a musical backdrop that supports the complex relationship between the two main brothers, Jake and Vince Friedkin.
Music supervisor Gabe Hilfer, who also worked on Ozark, selected the featured songs that appear throughout the eight episodes. His choices help establish the show’s setting in New York City and the contrasting worlds of high-end restaurants and criminal activity.
Original Songs by Albert Hammond Jr. and Jude Law
A unique aspect of the Black Rabbit soundtrack is the inclusion of two original songs created for the show. Albert Hammond Jr., guitarist for the famous band The Strokes, wrote and performed the tracks ‘Turned To Black’ and ‘Outside People’.
In the series, Jude Law’s character Jake Friedkin is a former rock star, which allows for a clever storytelling device. Law actually provides vocals for these songs within the show, which are credited to The Black Rabbits, the fictional band from Jake’s past.
The songs appear in Episode 2 and Episode 5, helping to build the background story for Law’s character and his relationship with his brother, played by Jason Bateman.
Special Musical Guest: RAYE
British singer-songwriter RAYE makes a special appearance in Episode 3, titled “Skin Contact.” Within the story, she performs two songs that are part of the soundtrack.
She performs her own song ‘Genesis’ as well as a cover of the classic ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’, a song made famous by Dinah Washington. This performance occurs at a key moment in the episode as Vince works on a new business idea.
