There are pic fights, manipulative sleepovers, college parties, demanding karate tests, and more going on in this batch of episodes, andthe excitement of these scenes is driven home by a great selection of music.
The majority of themusic inCobra Kaiis composed by Zach Robinson and Leo Birenberg, who have been with the series from the beginning. This duo has done a phenomenal job setting the tone for Johnny’s kick-ass story, with a 1980s-inspired score full of intense guitar riffs and dramatic synthetic percussion. However, from time to time, a scene inCobra Kaineeds the help of a familiar tune. Whether a pop culture staple from the ’80s or a newer jam that better fits with the Netflix show’s teenage cast, there’s a little something for nearly every episode in season 6.
