The song selections featured in this week's Los Angeles-set episode of FOX's hit musical dramedy series GLEE, titled "City Of Angels", is now available to download on iTunes.
Notably showcasing the GLEE debut of SPRING AWAKENING and PITCH PERFECT stage and screen star Skylar Astin, the episode features familiar location-themed hits such as Randy Newman's "I Love LA", Neil Diamond's "America" and more.
Additionally, the Nationals competition is depicted in the ep, highlighted by Astin and vocal group Throat Explosion performing a mash-up of the 80s classic "Mr. Roboto" with a current radio hit, "Counting Stars" by One Republic.
The official description of GLEE's "City Of Angels" is as follows: "The gleeks travel west to Los Angeles for Nationals, dedicating their performance in the all-important competition to Finn's memory. Once in L.A. and following the requisite sightseeing, New Directions meet their main competition, the cutting edge "Throat Explosion." As Blaine is most familiar with the stellar reputation of the revolutionary show choir and its intimidating and enigmatic star, Jean-Baptiste, ND's de facto leader is the first to fall victim to their opponent's psychological warfare. Heeding Will's advice, Sam steps up to rally the troops. While a seemingly able leader in his own right, Sam's greatest asset - his infectious optimism - is threatened when one of his lucky charms goes missing. Meanwhile, chaperones Burt and Carole offer inspirational words on their late son's behalf, and look forward to sharing the experience of Nationals with Finn's friends in the hopes it will bring back fond memories of their son... but their recent and devastating loss may still prove to be too painful. And when Ryder learns that a deflated Marley has given up on songwriting and has decided to quit Glee club for good, he and Jake enlist the help of a former gleek who has had plenty of experience with adversity."
