Hollywood
Hollywood is a Spotify label, not a musical style, for songs from films and screen musicals, most of them sung by actors and film casts.
It gathers recordings that exist because of a movie or television production: numbers from film musicals, screen versions of stage songs, and tracks by performers better known for acting. The sound ranges from classic show tune arrangements to modern pop. The name points at the American film industry based in Hollywood, Los Angeles. It overlaps with show tunes and soundtrack, but those also cover stage casts and instrumental scores.
