“Puppets,” the remix of SuccessionHBO's theme song from Pusha T and composer Nicholas Britell, is brand synergy done the right way
— whose second season wraps this Sunday evening — is particularly amplified for anyone who works in media, the industry of total chaos over which the show’s magnificently out-of-touch plutocrats preside. In response to deep obsession and/or deep psychological tumult brought on by the year-and-a-half run of the show, journalists have turned the Roy family empire into a sea of content, quizzes, and memes of their own.
Pusha’s bass-heavy remix stays true to the original while adding a sense of higher stakes to the restrained keys and strings. Lyrics aren’t the central force here — “Family, fortune, envy, jealousy, privilege, passed-on legacy,” Pusha raps on the chorus, as if assembling a mood board of‘s motifs — but they don’t need to be, serving the ancillary role that they do to the force of the beat and all its sonic oddities.
“Puppets” is also a natural fit of minds: Pusha has a number of heavy-hitting collaborations under his belt, and Britell, who’s scored the Barry Jenkins filmshas often cited producers Quincy Jones and Dr. Dre as inspiration for his classical riffs.
