Netflix's new series Blood & Water [1] brings a lot to the table; it boasts a stellar cast [2], it's overflowing with teenage drama [3], and it has a banging soundtrack to match. In fact, when I wasn't busy trying to figure out who Puleng's (Ama Qamata) long-lost sister is, I found myself wanting to get up and dance. If you've already binge-watched the show, you know what I'm talking about. And since I know I'm not the only one, I went ahead and compiled all the songs featured on the first season of Blood & Water for your listening pleasure. Check them out ahead, and here's to hoping Netflix gives us a second season [4]!
