“It’s confirmation that I’m supposed to be here and that I’m doing what I’m supposed to do.” Last week, TeaMarrr appeared with two other “Insecure” alums - B.K.
“I never get more texts than when my music is on ‘Insecure,’” says TeaMarrr, a singer and rapper with a jazzy, Billie Holiday-ish lilt. Yet the show has also served as a crucial incubator for emerging artists, including many from L.A. Artists featured on “Insecure’s” several soundtrack albums - as well as an official Spotify playlist with nearly 200,000 followers - have included established acts such as SZA, Thundercat and Jazmine Sullivan, who recorded a steamy duet called “Insecure” with Bryson Tiller for Season 2. Now she’s leaving behind a classic of her own: For five seasons, “Insecure” has showcased what the series’ music supervisor, Kier Lehman, calls “modern alternative R&B,” long on breathy vocals and vibey production that lend valuable emotional detail to the show’s layered storylines. As examples, she points to “Boomerang,” “Soul Food,” “Love Jones” and “Waiting to Exhale.”

With “Insecure,” set to conclude Sunday night with a highly anticipated series finale, Rae, 36, wanted to channel the spirit of some of the classic soundtracks of the 1990s, “when music really, really mattered in movies and television shows,” as she puts it. “I’m not always confident in the story itself.” “In anything I do, I’m very confident that the music will assist the storytelling,” she adds, then laughs. “That was the only thing I was certain of,” says the actor, writer and producer behind the beloved HBO series about a group of young Black women navigating work, romance and friendship in South Los Angeles. Before she had a finished script, a committed cast or even a solid sense of where her characters might go, Issa Rae knew that “Insecure” would have a killer soundtrack.
