How ‘Arcane’ Went Global for Its Big Season Two Soundtrack

Curated by Meg Birmingham

The soundtrack for Season 2 of Arcane, a Netflix show created in partnership with Riot Games, features 22 new songs from a wide range of internationally renowned artists, is a wonderful case study on how people can still understand the intent of a song without understanding the language it is sung in, going as far as making up new languages for the soundtrack.

There’s an entire Rolling Stone article on the success of the soundtrack and the involvement of international artists but my favorite non-English song from the soundtrack has to be Ma Meilleure Ennemie by Stromae and Pomme.
