La La Land: Soundtrack Songs

The soundtrack for the 2016 movie La La Land was composed and orchestrated by Justin Hurwitz. La La Land is an American musical-drama written and directed by Damien Chazelle and starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as a musician, Sebastian, and an aspiring actress, Mia, who meet and fall in love in Los Angeles.

Mia And Sebastian's Theme is a sentimental and bittersweet musical melody recurring several times in La La Land. Early in the movie it's played by Sebastian and attracts Mia.
