This City Is Ours season 2 soundtrack: Every song featured in BBC drama

This City Is Ours season 2 is now streaming in full on BBC iPlayer, with its stellar soundtrack being just one element to win praise from new and returning viewers.

From '60s soul and swing to contemporary club classics, each episode has water-cooler moments that are only heightened by their musical accompaniments.

Filmed on location in Liverpool, the thriller takes us inside the Phelan crime family at a precarious moment as they attempt to take their enterprise to the next level.

Meanwhile, their former fixer Michael, who spectacularly betrayed them in season 1, is forced to return from exile when a hit-and-run leaves cartel boss Felipe (Álvaro Morte) demanding retribution.

It's another perfect storm that will put these characters through the wringer – and not everyone will live to tell the tale.
