This playlist captures the emotional journey of "The Score" by Elle Kennedy, blending intimate acoustic instrumentals with indie and alternative vocal tracks that echo the youthful turmoil, rebound romance, and personal growth central to the story. The instrumental selections emphasize reflective and spacious moods to mirror Allie Hayes' inner conflict and the icy, competitive world of college hockey, while the vocal tracks dive into themes of heartbreak, attraction, and self-discovery with a diverse palette of voices and styles.
