Prime Video’s “Elle” yanks Elle Woods from her picture-perfect Bel-Air dreamhouse and places her in gloomy Seattle, bringing with it the city’s signature 90s grunge movement.
The soundtrack for the first season of the “Legally Blonde” prequel series matches this grunge aesthetic. The pilot begins with Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” as the backdrop to Elle’s Sweet Sixteen party and ends with “Creep” by Radiohead, setting up the dichotomy between Elle and her less bubbly Seattle classmates.
The Hello Sunshine production also features hits from the B-52s, Queen, Pearl Jam and The Cranberries. Elle (Lexi Minetree) even makes a splash in a pivotal pool party karaoke scene, singing “Just a Girl” by No Doubt, while other characters later in the series rock out to a 1988 Nirvana hit.
