* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX3iW8pgxD0 "system/[=BOOT.PearlFinal=](3).Info"]] a graceful, classy, and almost jingle-like ditty, sung by Pearl, with spoken-word interjections by Greg and Steven, [[spoiler: after she, and the rest of the Crystal Gems get reset to their original base state after being poofed by a Rejuvenator; about her introducing herself, and explaining the original functions of the other Gems as they reform one by one.]] A song that is, like it's strange title, offputting and uncomfortable, [[spoiler: as Pearl has essentially been forced back into her orignal slavish self, swearing her eternal servitude to her [[AccidentalMisnaming "Um-Greg-Universe"]], casually remarking how only one Ruby is strange, and cheerily remarking how [[InnocentlyInsensitive Amethyst is not the best example of what an Amethyst should be, and how "something is clearly wrong"]]]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v_KfioWSf4 "Other Friends"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmBB_-2hFqY "Drift Away"]], the {{Villain Song}}s of the movie, sung by the movie's BigBad [[spoiler: Spinel]]. The first is a punchy, rambunctious ElectroSwing song, fitting of her wild personality and her InkblotCartoonStyle design, and the second is a [[spoiler: slow, mournful, and synth-instrumentaled VillainousLament about Pink Diamond telling her to wait at the garden, how she waited for 6000 years, her self-doubt about wondering if she's done something wrong, and her revelation that her waiting was AllForNothing when Steven's announcement showed that Pink was never going to come back for her.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmi_K8umKFo "Independent Together"]], a song sung by a fusion of Steven and Greg to help remind a rejuvenated Pearl of who she really is. It works like a charm, and halfway through the song, Amethyst and Pearl fuse, leading to a spectacular duet between Steg and Opal. The best part is, Steg and Opal's voice actors (Ted Leo and Aimee Mann) are an actual musical duo in real life!

** [[https://soundcloud.com/aivisura/steven-universe-sardonyx Sardonyx]]'s theme is a delightfully upbeat blend of Pearl's and Garnet's respective motifs. The song for the FusionDance preceding her, [[https://soundcloud.com/aivisura/steven-universe-enticement Enticement]], is also quite lovely.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcFT_dZ_rOU "Who We Are"]], starts with Steven singing a DarkReprise of "Happily Ever After" after [[spoiler: the Crystal Gems get rebooted to their original base selves.]] Then Bismuth gives her funky and awesome version of the Crystal Gem song in the form of a BadassBoast, and the two songs mix in epic harmony.

--> [=LuPone=] goes above and beyond in selling what's probably the most initially off-putting song thus far on the soundtrack. It's one of the only songs set in a minor key (possibly the first, unless my memory is failing me) and certainly the most aggressively discordant, with the use of the Pearls as an octave-higher backing setting one even more on edge. It's not warm and rousing in the vein of "Stronger Than You", or even raw and belting like "It's Over Isn't It". [=LuPone=]'s voice soars and then hits high notes that are sharp edged and punching rather than cathartic, and the refrain doesn't properly finish, breaking off instead into a hum of the Diamond Authority leitmotif.\\

* "The Big Show" expands the Suspects' repertoire slightly, giving them two new songs: a poppy uptempo horrorpunk IAmSong ("Sadie Killer and the Suspects") that seems to act as their set opener, complete with [[StylisticSuck DIY props and costume]] that nonetheless impress Greg enough to become their manager, and [[https://youtu.be/4kFywSnB8ao "G-G-G-Ghost"]], a passionate, angst-ridden ska-punk ballad about a recently deceased girl rising from the grave to realise nobody can see her; they perform it at Sunshine Justice's venue in Empire City, with a significant increase in costume/stage effects budget thanks to Greg.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/cyrilthewolf/80s-rock-lapis-lazuli-extended An extended version of "Lapis Lazuli" and "Wailing Stone"]] from Cyril the Wolf. It reworks the lyrics and melodies from both songs, including Lapis's leitmotif to craft a [[EpicRocking 6-minute]] prog rock jam. Warning: spoilers for "The Return" and "Jailbreak" in the lyrics.

* Yet another medley, [[http://uselesslesbiancommandr.tumblr.com/post/124953189932/this-is-a-steven-universe-medley-semi-arranged-by courtesy of Tinygaymanny]], which is in essence a longer, cleaner take on the ukulele medley mentioned above.
