Pixar “Soul” Score & Jazz Albums Announced
Walt Disney Records has announced details on two new albums for the upcoming Pixar animated movie,”Soul”, which is coming to Disney+ on Christmas Day. One album will feature music and inspired from the film, with the other including the score.
The digital Soul Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and both vinyl albums are set for release on December 18th.
“Soul” is set in two distinct worlds, gritty New York City and the ethereal cosmic realms of The Great Before, which called for two styles of music that help shape and define each world. Globally renowned musician and GRAMMY nominee Jon Batiste provided the original jazz compositions and arrangements for the film, and Oscar winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (“The Social Network”), from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Nine Inch Nails, created an original score that will drift between the real and soul worlds.
The digital Soul Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features 42 score and jazz tracks; the Soul Original Score vinyl album by Reznor and Ross features 23 tracks (Side A 12 tracks / Side B 11 tracks); and Music From and Inspired By Soul vinyl album by Jon Batiste features 22 tracks (Side A 15 tracks / Side B 7 tracks), including Batiste’s cover of the Curtis Mayfield classic “It’s All Right.”
