Star Trek: Picard season one soundtrack, featuring Isa Briones’ “Blue Skies” out today

Isa Briones singing “Blue Skies” from the Star Trek: Picard soundtrack

One of the high points of the season finale of Star Trek: Picard was a beautiful rendition of Irving Berlin’s “Blue Skies”, sung by actor Isa Briones. No spoilers here, but the song represented a poignant punctuation mark for the series, calling all the way back to Star Trek Nemesis. In that film, Data sang “Blue Skies” at Riker and Troi’s wedding, as a gift to celebrate their “conjugation”, and the song’s hook has been used several times since to denote a connection back to the character of Data.

Now, Briones’ version of the song is an anchor to the Star Trek: Picard season one complete soundtrack, out today from Lakeshore Records. TrekCore.com reports that the soundtrack will include the scores from the episodes “The Impossible Box”, “Nepenthe”, “Broken Pieces” and the series finale “Et in Arcadia Ego” parts one and two, plus the tracks from the “Part One” soundtrack released earlier this year. The album will be released digitally, with CD and vinyl versions expected at some point in the future.

As with previous soundtracks, please be advised that track names often contain spoilers, so if you haven’t yet watched the show, you might want to look out for that. And of course, if you have watched the show already, then I highly recommend heading over to your favorite streaming service now and getting straight on to blissing out to the whole 55-track album.
