Dumplin' (soundtrack)

The Dumplin' soundtrack is the official collection of music associated with the 2018 Netflix film Dumplin', based on the young adult novel of the same name by Julie Murphy. Primarily curated and produced by Dolly Parton, the soundtrack consists largely of original songs co-written and performed by Parton, often in collaboration with other artists. The songs reflect themes of self-acceptance, female empowerment, and the power of friendship, aligning with the film's narrative. In addition to Parton's new compositions, the soundtrack also features re-recordings of some of her classic hits, re-imagined for the film's setting and emotional context. The soundtrack was released by RCA Records alongside the film's debut and garnered positive critical reception, particularly for Parton's songwriting and the emotional resonance of the songs.
