Now streaming on Netflix, Fate: The Winx Saga season 1 features a soundtrack full of moody and modern pop songs. Given that the central leads aren't quite normal teenagers but rather otherworldly fairies, the collection of indie music creates a vibe that aligns with the characters' personalities. One particular fairy can even feel the emotions of others, and so she often retreats into her own musical world as an escape.
Fate: The Winx Saga season 1 primarily takes place at Alfea College, a boarding school in the "Otherworld" for fairies and specialists. The storyline centers on a new student named Bloom (Abigail Cowen), who receives a proper education about her powers and also learns some shocking truths about her past. Alfea College is ruled by headmistress Farah Dowling (Eve Best), a woman who means well but also displays self-serving behavior while preparing for a war against the primary villains known as the Burned Ones.
In Fate: The Winx Saga season 1, four of the six episodes includes a steady dose of music. Incidentally, there's an organic feel that benefits the storyline, all the while establishing a youthful tone as well. When the music slows down, it's in favor of character development, which then allows the narrative tone to ramp up again.
"Kids in the Corner" by Amber Van Day: As the series opens with various overhead shots for Alfea College, the opening track underlines the "outsider" premise, but the visuals present Alfea College as just a regular institution. So, the characters may feel relatable to younger audiences, even if they're actually otherworldly teenagers with heavy-duty powers.
"We Appreciate Power" by Grimes featuring HANA: The specialists train near a pond, with Sky and Riven displaying their skills while discussing the past summer.
"Physical" by Dua Lipa: Bloom arrives at a party and speaks with Sky about her California past, along with what lies beyond the barrier.
"In for the Kill" by La Roux: Sky and Stella share an intimate moment while conversing about their recent break-up.
"Adeline" by Alt-J: Musa plays a song for Terra, which serves as a background track for an episode-ending sequence. Farah speaks with Saul about the past, and Dane scrolls through Riven's social media account. Beatrix also uses her powers.
"High Tide" by Lemolo: Farah tells her students how magic lives in the fabric of nature. She urges them to connect with Earth in order to develop their powers. Most importantly, Farah notes the importance of underlying emotions for all fairies. The song has an Enya-like feel, which is ideal for what the scene communicates to audiences - the fairies are instructed to be one with their surroundings, which will allow them to more effectively use their powers when necessary.
"Forever & Ever More" by Nothing But Thieves: Sky watches fellow specialists train and references The Karate Kid by saying "Sweep the leg!"
"Silvering" by LoneLady: Sky and Riven train while Saul provides technique advice.
"You're The One" by Katreanada featuring Syd: Bloom arrives at the specialists' annual party in the east wing of Alfea.
"Tonight" by Kesha: Bloom challenges Sky to a game of beer pong, and also uses her magic to warm up her opponents' beer.
"Never Come Back" by Caribou: Musa shares a kiss with Sam and senses social anxiety through her empath powers.
"Borderline" by Tame Impala: Sky argues with Stella about how she purposely blinded her best friend, Ricky.
"Hot Pink" by Let's Eat Grandma: Bloom talks to Aisha about a woman from her memory that she spotted in an Alfea photo (it's ultimately revealed to be Rosalind).
"Lower Your Eyelids to Die with the Sun" by M83: The episode ends with Farah telling Silva that they can never allow Bloom to meet Rosalind.
"Only A Game" by White Hex: Riven teases Beatrix about her Bloom obsession, and the couple shares a passionate kiss.
"Sudden Desire" by Hayley Williams: Musa aggressively kisses Sam, who interrupts the moment to establish the fact that he does actually feel empathy for others. The moment further establishes Musa as a character who lives in the moment, which creates a romantic divide with Sam; an ideal set-up for late-season conflict.
"Trick Pony" by Charlotte Gainsbourg: Terra and Dane argue about Beatrix and Bloom.
"If You Wait" by London Grammar: Sky delivers a moving monologue about how he and Bloom are broken people. Moments later, Bloom knocks out Sky with a sedative.
"Running Mate" by Lemolo: Beatrix screams in her cell, Sky wakes up outdoors, and Bloom has an enlightening conversation with Terra and Musa.
"A Moment Apart" by ODESZA: Bloom harnesses her powers in a dramatic sequence. She levitates into air with orange eyes, and then wreaks havoc on a pack of Burned Ones. In this moment, Bloom truly does separate herself from others, which complements the song title.
"Swansea" by Lemolo: Bloom is weakened after battling the Burned Ones and receives assistance from her fellow fairies.
"Come Home" by Pip Blom: Sky watches the lights go out at Alfea College and stays overnight. Bloom shows up in the morning.
"Carry You" by Novo Amor: Bloom informs her parents about her fairy powers. She puts on a fire display at the dining room table and enjoys quality time with her Alfea classmates.
"Teach Me To Fight" by YONaka: The song plays after Rosalind kills [SPOILER], and continues on as Bloom and company return to Alfea College. It's an intriguing track choice to close out the series, as it implies that the teenage fairies will be taught differently in the future, which will further complicate their lives after receiving peaceful lessons earlier in the season.
