'Maid' Soundtrack: Every Song Featured in the Hit Netflix Show

By
Culture Songs Netflix TV

Maid has captivated viewers on Netflix with its heartwarming story, but also with its eclectic soundtrack.

The 10-part series is based on Stephanie Land's memoir, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay and a Mother's Will to Survive, as she tried to work her way above the poverty line as a single mother.

Margaret Qualley and her mother Andie MacDowell star in Maid as Alex and Paula, respectively, which not only shines a light on the disparity between the super rich and the poor, but also the laws around domestic abuse and violence.

It has proven a hit on Netflix, maintaining its spot in the Top 10 list globally. Its soundtrack has also caught the attention of viewers and had musicians Christopher Stracey and one third of the band HAIM, Este, behind it.

The HAIM Instagram account celebrated Este's success by giving her a shout-out: "I hope y'all have watched MAID on Netflix, did you know Este and the amazing @christopherstracey composed all the music for it?"

As well as featuring several tracks from the band, the Maid soundtrack features plenty of recognizable tracks and some under-the-radar gems too, with Alex and her daughter Maddy's (Rylea Nevaeh Whittet) special song by Salt-N-Pepa regularly making an appearance.
