Practical Magic is one of those films where the music became almost as memorable as the movie.

Practical Magic 2 understands that.

The sequel arrived in cinemas in September 2026 with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman returning as Sally and Gillian Owens.

And its soundtrack deliberately connects the new film with the musical world of the 1998 original.

That means:

Fleetwood Mac.

Olivia Rodrigo.

Florence and the Machine.

Harry Nilsson.

Brandi Carlile.

And several brilliant catalogue tracks.

What Olivia Rodrigo song is in Practical Magic 2?

“The Cure”.

Radar recently explored the meaning behind Rodrigo’s song in detail.

Its inclusion makes a lot of sense.

“The Cure” deals with the idea that love cannot automatically repair everything happening inside another person.

Practical Magic has always been interested in similar questions:

love

family

loss

and whether love can overcome things outside our control.

What Fleetwood Mac song is in Practical Magic 2?

“Landslide”.

And the timing is particularly interesting.

Stevie Nicks recently joined Rodrigo onstage at Daisy Chain Fields to perform “Landslide”.

Shortly afterwards, Sandra Bullock teased that both artists’ voices would appear in the upcoming movie.

They ultimately appear separately rather than as a duet.

“Landslide” is also an ideal Practical Magic song.

It’s about:

change

fear

growing older

relationships

and watching the life around you transform.

All themes that naturally become more important when characters return nearly three decades after the first film.

What version of “Fade Into You” appears?

Not the original Mazzy Star recording.

The soundtrack features Gregory Alan Isakov and Sylvan Esso performing the song.

That’s an interesting choice because the original is so distinctive.

Radar already has a full explainer on the meaning behind Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You”.

The cover gives a familiar composition a different atmosphere while preserving the nostalgia attached to the song.

Why is “Coconut” back?

Because Practical Magic fans would riot if it wasn’t.

Harry Nilsson’s “Coconut” soundtracks the famous midnight margaritas sequence in the original movie.

Practical Magic 2 deliberately returns to that musical memory.

The song functions almost like a character.

You hear it.

You immediately remember:

margaritas

the kitchen

the Owens women

and the original film.

That’s soundtrack nostalgia being used properly.

What is “Dancing in the Moonlight” doing there?

The film uses the song in multiple forms.

That is especially fun because “Dancing in the Moonlight” already has an unusually complicated history.

Sherman Kelly wrote it.

Boffalongo recorded it first.

King Harvest made it a hit.

Toploader later made it huge again in Britain.

The Practical Magic 2 soundtrack includes King Harvest’s version alongside a modern version by Jubël featuring NEIMY.

Radar now has a dedicated explainer on that song’s surprisingly dark origin story too.

Who composed the Practical Magic 2 score?

Rupert Gregson-Williams.

His previous film work includes Wonder Woman and Hacksaw Ridge.

The score had an interesting challenge.

It needed to sound like a new film while retaining enough musical DNA from the original to feel familiar.

The filmmakers have discussed deliberately preserving that connection.

How involved was Sandra Bullock in the music?

Very.

Producer Denise Di Novi has said Bullock was integral to the soundtrack process and worked closely with music supervisors Season Kent and Gabe Hilfer.

Bullock is also an executive producer on the soundtrack album.

That helps explain why the music feels unusually deliberate rather than like a collection of songs dropped into a film for marketing.

Why was music so important to the original Practical Magic?

Because the original created an incredibly specific atmosphere.

Late-1990s pop.

Stevie Nicks.

Faith Hill.

Harry Nilsson.

Witchy folk-rock energy.

The music helped turn a film that received mixed reviews on release into a cultural object people wanted to revisit.

The midnight margaritas scene is probably the clearest example.

You can’t really separate the scene from “Coconut” anymore.

Best songs from the Practical Magic 2 soundtrack

If you’re building a playlist rather than listening to the entire score, start with:

Fleetwood Mac – Landslide

Olivia Rodrigo – The Cure

Florence + the Machine – Howl

Gregory Alan Isakov & Sylvan Esso – Fade Into You

Harry Nilsson – Coconut

King Harvest – Dancing in the Moonlight.

That six-song run gives you a good summary of the soundtrack’s identity:

witchy.

nostalgic.

emotional.

slightly strange.

Exactly what Practical Magic should sound like.

The smartest thing about the soundtrack

It doesn’t simply chase new music.

A 2026 film happily puts songs from several different decades beside one another.

That’s increasingly how listeners actually consume music.

Olivia Rodrigo doesn’t need to sound out of place next to Fleetwood Mac.

A 20-year-old listener may have both artists sitting beside each other in the same playlist anyway.

Streaming has flattened music history.

Practical Magic 2 takes advantage of that.

And it gives listeners several excellent rabbit holes to disappear into after leaving the cinema.
