Disney+/Marvel Studios Releases MS. MARVEL Suite by Laura Karpman

The “Ms. Marvel Suite,” composed by Emmy-winning composer Laura Karpman and its companion video are available today. The MS. MARVEL: Vol. 1 (Episodes 1-3) Original Soundtrack is set for release on June 22 and will be followed by Vol. 2 (Episodes 4-6) on July 13.

Marvel Studios’ MS. MARVEL is a new, original series that introduces Kamala Khan, a Muslim American teenager growing up in Jersey City. An avid gamer and a voracious fan-fiction scribe, Kamala is a Super Hero megafan with an oversized imagination – particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel. Yet Kamala feels like she doesn’t fit in at school and sometimes even at home – that is, until she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life gets better with superpowers, right? The first episode is now streaming exclusively on Disney+ with new episodes on Wednesdays.

Commenting on the track, Karpman said, “I can’t contain my excitement for the project that is Ms. Marvel! I’m thrilled that today she enters the world. In the upcoming weeks I’ll share stories about the fun musical collaborations that are featured in the score, but for now, take a listen to the theme for Ms. Marvel!!”

Karpman creates powerful, imaginative scores that push the boundaries of storytelling. Her award-winning music, spanning film, television, theater, interactive media and live performance, reflects an audaciously creative, prodigious, fresh spirit. Karpman has collaborated with the most creative filmmakers of our time, including Misha Green, Steven Spielberg, Alex Gibney, Kasi Lemmons, Rory Kennedy, Sam Pollard, Laura Nix plus Eleanor, Francis Ford and Sophia Coppola.  The five-time Emmy winner’s scores span the HBO hit series LOVECRAFT COUNTRY, the Discovery Channel docuseries WHY WE HATE, for which she recently won an Emmy Award, and the Disney+ original series Marvel Studios’ WHAT IF…?  Karpman is also scoring the forthcoming Marvel Studios’ film THE MARVELS.
