Background
[edit]In March 2018,Kristen Anderson-Lopezrevealed in an interview that she and her husband,Robert Lopez,would return from the filmFrozento write songs for its sequelFrozen 2,having been already recorded a song for the project with the help of starKristen Bell.[7]Later in theD23 Expopresentation of that same year, Disney revealed that the soundtrack would incorporate a total of seven songs.[8][9]
Marketing details on the complete tracklist were unveiled on September 30, 2019, which would be released on the following November 15 distributed byWalt Disney Records.[10]
Co-director and screenwriterJennifer Leesaid that "the songs and score ofFrozen 2reflect both the growth of the characters and the deepening of their story ", she described the songs as" emotional, personal yet powerful, intimate but also epic ". Another co-directorChris Buckemphasized the importance of the musical team, the Lopezes, andChristophe Beck.Additionally, he noted the impact of the vibrant and emotional musics, and said it helps deepen and expand the reach of the story.[11]The song "Into the Unknown",sung byIdina Menzelas Elsa with additional vocals by Norwegian recording artistAurora,has been called the successor ofFrozen's "Let It Go".[12]
Anderson-Lopez stated their achievements come from brainstorming on big questions — "what is the story that we all as artists, individually and collectively, need to tell? She also disclosed their production strategy of using sensitive emotional feelings and connections to the story.[11]Lopez also said that "[his and Anderson-Lopez's] tradition of songwriting come from inspirations of the world of musical theater, where songs must always forward the story freshly and surprisingly. Every song has to take a character on a journey".[11]
Lopez further explained that the songs are thematically connected to the idea of change, and the idea of the journey.[13]According to Anderson-Lopez, the theme of a journey was a very "meta-story" for them, because it was not always clear along the way how all the songs would fit together in the final version of the film.[13]They kept telling themselves that things would be eventually clearer in six months, and by the time the movie proceeds.[13]According to Anderson-Lopez, the theme of a journey was a very "meta-story" for them, because it was not always clear along the way how all the songs would fit together in the final version of the film.[14]
In November 2019,Panic! at the Disco's version of "Into the Unknown" was released as a single.[15]Later in that same month, the Korean versions of "Into the Unknown" were also released, which would be performed byK-popstar andGirls' GenerationmemberTaeyeon.[16]
Composer Christophe Beck, who previously scored the first film, returned for the sequel, his score draws elements from Lopez and Anderson-Lopez's songs.[11]As with the first film, Beck used Norwegian elements for the sequel's score, as well as featuring the Norwegian female choirCantus,with Beck stating that it gives the score a "magical" setting, yet still being "rooted in real tradition".[11]Beck said that the film's score reflects the character's growth since the original film, stating that "[s]imilar to how Elsa and Anna have grown up since the last film, the new score has also matured and introduces more sophisticated musical concepts and thematic elements".[11]Beck also said that he wanted the sequel's score to reflect the film's "complex and intense" emotional story while commenting that he enjoyed "exploring extreme dynamic contrasts, harmonic complexity, intricate textures with vibrant colors, and hugely expressive melodic moments".[11]
