The big new original series hitting Disney+ this month is Marvel's "Ironheart", which is set after the events of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Marvel Television’s “Ironheart” pits technology against magic when Riri Williams, determined to make her mark on the world, returns to her hometown of Chicago. Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins, aka “The Hood”.
Recently, I got to speak with the show's composer, Dara Taylor about how she went about creating the score for "Ironheart", which follows teen genius Riri Williams as she builds her own advanced armor and navigates grief, identity, and legacy, themes that Dara’s music explores with striking depth and texture. Her score fuses distorted synths, trap percussion, and orchestral layers into a genre-bending sound that mirrors Riri’s internal and external battles. One of the most moving elements: a real voicemail from Dara’s late father as inspiration for the score, underscoring the show’s emotional weight and Riri’s connection to her own sense of loss.
Dara is known for music that centres character and emotion, no matter the genre. She recently scored Universal’s R-rated comedy "Strays", as well as the hit horror-thriller "The Invitation" and George Clooney’s coming-of-age film "The Tender Bar". From irreverent comedy to supernatural horror to grounded drama, Dara brings a nuanced and contemporary voice to every project, and "Ironheart" is her most ambitious and personal work to date.
The first three episodes of "Ironheart" are available to stream on Disney+ now, and the final three episodes of the show will be released on Disney+ on July 1st 2025. The soundtrack is also available to stream on digital platforms now.
