EXCLUSIVE: Deadline has the first pair of exclusive tracks from Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli’s score for The Thing About Pam, which is set for release via Milan Records on April 15, following the airing of the NBC true-crime ratings hit’s finale.
The Blumhouse Television-produced limited series centers on the 2011 murder of State Farm employee Betsy Faria (Katy Mixon), which resulted in her husband Russ’s (Glenn Fleshler) conviction, although he insisted he didn’t kill her and was later exonerated. This brutal crime set off a chain of events that would expose a diabolical scheme deeply involving Faria’s supposed friend, Pam Hupp (Renée Zellweger).
From Belousova and Ostinelli’s perspective, Pam is someone who “tromps through town like a predatory larger-than-life force that will crush anything that comes her way.”
The show’s main theme, “The Thing About Pam,” is billed as “a motif combined with a predatory march,” reflecting someone who is “on a mission, marching to the beat of her own drum.” Just as in the series, “everything revolves around Pam because that’s the thing about Pam,” the composers say, “everything revolves around her theme as well.”
The Thing About Pam soundtrack features the show’s main theme “in many modifications, from menacing and driving to slow and foreboding, or even absurd and funky,” the composers note. “We cannot forget that this is a true story with real people, real gut-wrenching tragedies, even though the truth is stranger than fiction. Therefore, we’re using a string quartet with its fragile sound, sometimes unrefined, sometimes a bit edgy or slightly out of tune, to underline the raw, heartbreaking, and emotional journey our characters go through.”
