Meryl Streep and Ashley Park have entered the constructing in a really musical means.

Within the latest episode of Hulu’s hit collection Solely Murders within the Constructing, which premiered Tuesday (Aug. 15), Streep and Park group as much as carry out a tune co-written by Sara Bareilles (Waitress) together with Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (The Biggest Showman, Expensive Evan Hansen). The tune, “Look for the Light,” is now accessible for followers to stream on all companies.

“It was so easy to say yes to this invitation,” stated Bareilles in a press assertion.  “I love the delicious unpredictability of collaboration, and this was as joyful and undeniable as they come. I am such a fan of the Only Murders and of Pasek & Paul, so the idea of writing together for the first time, especially to offer something to someone like Meryl Streep truly felt like a dream. Meryl was gentle and focused, and I loved her musicality and her willingness to share her process. Ashley Park’s glorious counter melody was added later, and I got goosebumps the first time I heard it. It truly couldn’t have been a more seamless experience- how lucky am I to be a part of it!”

For Pasek & Paul, Bareilles was a dream collaborator, including in a press release, “We had been so lucky to have the ability to create this tune for the legendary Meryl Streep alongside her. As longtime followers of Solely Murders, Meryl, and Sara, this chance was principally essentially the most completely algorithmic focused advert somebody might throw our means.

“Getting to shape this song around Meryl’s voice, and working together in the studio and on set, was a dream and we are three very lucky songwriters,” they continued. “Meryl not only amazed us with her usual brilliance and mastery of the craft, but also inspired us with her humility and tireless work ethic. While it is unfair for someone to be so wonderful at everything, it’s a basic human truth that we all must reckon with!”

The tune got here in an episode during which Martin Quick’s Oliver Putnam makes an attempt to pivot his sure-to-tank homicide thriller Loss of life Rattle right into a raucous musical throughout one loopy evening of writing. Whereas the present’s producers are cut up on the trouble that includes crab males singing about creatures of the evening, unconvinced funder Donna Demeo (Linda Edmond) says she’ll give him 24 hours to give you a slam-dunk showstopper tune.

Simply earlier than showcasing the tune for his producers, Steve Martin’s Charles-Haden Savage tells his good friend and fellow sleuth that no person is into the musical thought. Annoyed and determined, Quick tells Streep’s Loretta that he’s completely happy to launch her from her contract so she will take a newly supplied half within the Gray’s Anatomy spin-off Gray’s New Orleans Household Burn Unit if she’ll simply sing his assured “showstopper” for him, the lilting nanny’s lullaby (aka “Look for the Light.”)

With the solid gathered round him, Quick units up a scene during which the present’s star triplets are crying within the evening as their nanny soothes them. To the accompaniment of a melancholy piano, Streep sings, “Hush, little one, let me sing you to sleep/ Moonlight has come, now drift off to a dream/ Sail from the day to the wonders awaiting you/ Out there in the deep.”

As violins swell, the Oscar winner captivates the room with the emotional powerhouse ballad, with Ashley Park’s Kimber unable to withstand harmonizing on the sweeping refrain in a tour de power that helps to avoid wasting the present.

The third season of Solely Murders premiered Aug. 8, with stars Selena Gomez, Martin Quick and Steve Martin returning as true-crime-loving neighbors who get wrapped up in a homicide thriller. Again in April, Gomez took to Instagram to tease Streep’s visitor look by sharing a photograph, smiling large alongside the Oscar-winning icon on the collection’ set.

“Well we wrapped season 3 of @onlymurdershulu -I’m not sure I have enough words to explain just how beautiful this season has been. It has been deliriously hilarious, challenging and for me, an absolute dream,” she captioned the photograph. “I’ll post more soon. But I’ll I leave it with the woman I adore, look up to and love.”

Take heed to “Look for the Light” beneath, and watch Solely Murders within the Constructing on Hulu.
