The Heated Rivalry soundtrack is finally here, and we’re all heading back to the cottage!
The 34-track soundtrack, Heated Rivalry (Original Series Soundtrack), drops on Friday (16 January) and features original music from artist and composer Peter Roy, better known as Peter Peter.
Last week, fans could stream two singles, the upbeat “Rivalry” and the heartbreakingly tender “It’s You”. Now, the full soundtrack to hockey players Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) and Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) steamy romance is out.
“The music I composed for Heated Rivalry uncovered a side of me I wasn’t certain I possessed, yet one I had always quietly wished was there,” Peter shared with Billboard.
“I’d never allowed myself such latitude in composition before. Jacob and [author] Rachel [Reid, who penned the book Game Changers on which the show is based] deserved the very best of me, so I gave them every ray of light I had.”
Heated Rivalry’s music is essential to the show, soundtracking both sweet moments of yearning and providing techno-infused beats for electric scenes of erotic connection.
