    The production is basic Timbaland stuff and piano ballads. But the thing is that if you have watched the show, it is simply IMPOSSIBLE not to get addicted to the soundtrack. The sound takes you back in the 90's, where r'n'b and hip-hop were dominating the charts around the world with artists like Whitney, Missy, Janet, Boyz II Men, En Vogue, Brandy, Dre and Lauryn.

And if you have ever loved those people, it's inevitable you will love these tracks, too.

    Boas músicas para uma série excelente. Todo mundo deveria assistir essa série, que é mais que um drama familiar mas sim uma história que toca você. E ainda tem música.
    Faixas como "Conqueror" e "You're So Beautiful" deveriam ser ouvidas por todos e apreciadas.

    An album that’s not as great as the show’s success suggests.

    Empire is a wonder of absurd tricks and unforeseen turns, but the ultimate goal--rendering its music as something more than just a side platter to gripping TV--proves elusive.

    This soundtrack for the hottest show on TV could use more of the beat-you-with-a-broomstick fire of Taraji P. Henson's character.
