Songs

The soundtrack for Heroes features incidental and theme music by Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin, the duo better known as "Wendy and Lisa" and perhaps best known for the work with Prince as members of his support band "The Revolution". Vocalizations are provided by Shenkar.

The series also features spot songs from other artists.
