The Heated Rivalry music is about to get even hotter, thanks to icy silver vinyl and shirtless-pic CDs. On Tuesday (March 24), Billboard can exclusively announce the physical and digital release of the Heated Rivalry soundtrack album, due July 10.
The album will feature a selection of songs heard in the show (from the likes of Harrison, t.A.T.u., Wet Leg, Wolf Parade) alongside Peter Peter’s original score. Pre-orders for the album — which will be released via Milan Records on CD, vinyl and as a digital download — start on March 26. Fans can sign up for more information and to be notified when the pre-order launches.
Both the CD and vinyl editions will contain a fold-out poster, imagery from the Crave Original Series — starring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams — and liner notes from show creator Jacob Tierney. The album will be pressed on two different deluxe vinyl editions, both on color vinyl themed to the show. (See full details on the CD and vinyl, with images, below.)
The soundtrack includes 11 previously released songs that were licensed for the first season of the Crave Original Series, including Feist’s “My Moon My Man,” Cailin Russo’s “Bad Things,” Wet Leg’s “mangetout,” Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe in Anything,” t.A.T.u’s “All the Things She Said” and Harrison’s cover of “All the Things She Said.” The album also includes a previously unreleased bonus track heard in the show, Peter Peter’s “One Soul” (Cottage Mix), in addition to Peter Peter’s score. See the full track list for the album below.
Heated Rivalry’s music supervisor Scotty Taylor exclusively tells Billboard, “There are no rules in love or music. Love is the answer and truth is the music. Love boldly. Sing loudly and be fearless.”
Heated Rivalry premiered on the Canadian streamer Crave on Nov. 28 and debuted the same day in the United States on HBO Max. The show stars Storrie and Williams as hockey rivals Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, who navigate a secret romance. The series was adapted from Rachel Reid’s hit Game Changers book series.
