Giftheck 916 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The soundtrack for the live-action remake of The Lion King is due out July 11 digitally and July 19 on CD. Unlike the 1994 OST, the soundtrack includes the music standalone as opposed to being arranged into suites. Not all track titles have been published yet. So far there appears to be two new songs in the form of whatever TBA is supposed to be, and "Never Too Late" which is probably the new end title song. I'm intrigued because this essentially quates to what The Legacy Collection set of the 1994 score has, at least in arrangement. It makes me curious to hear what exactly has been changed this time around. The film is reportedly 30 minutes longer and I highly doubt this is 'everything'. Also interesting is the aforementioned lack of suites - we all know Hans loves to have suites on his soundtracks.

I think that is an important and worthwhile lesson for the kids today. Identity is not biological - in fact biology has nothing to do with it at all. It is all about what you think your identify is.

Giftheck 916 Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 I've just seen part of the Circle of Life sequence on YouTube. It doesn't sound like they recorded a new instrumental - they're literally using the 1994 instrumental with a new main vocalist. Even the backing vocals are the same. Doesn't bode well for the rest of the score being anything evolutionary, does it? I'm starting to think this is going to be more a 'The Legacy Collection Plus Additional Overlays"-type deal. You can hear some of the soundtrack at the start of the Live Premiere. I was much more impressed by the 1994 score. Maybe it's because here they're just throwing bits together out of sequence and they need to be heard in context, but I'm not really impressed by it TBH. The 1994 score sounds better-orchestrated. There's also an interview with Zimmer at about the 40 minute mark. Fabulin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Listening to this right now. Just the score, as I'm sure the songs have been fuckin' trashed. I almost immediately skipped Hakuna Matata when I accidentally let it play. Fuck me, that was awful! Not bad. Much of it seems to have been practically quoted from the original score, but it's a really good interpretation. It seems Hans Zimmer is the only person to deliver something worthwhile from these terrible remakes. A very cool version of the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Nagus 43 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I saw that this was available on Apple Music now. Well, every track except track 14, the new Beyonce song. The only way to listen to that song is by going to the Beyonce single version. Haven't listen to the OST yet, just found it odd that you can't listen to the whole album through Apple Music. I have only been an Apple Music sub for about a month so, maybe happens more often, still seems odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just bought it myself. I'm in no doubt that Circle of Life only uses new vocal recordings to replace Carmen Twillie's performance. Even Lebo M's recording from the original is there, as is the original backing choir. I'm pretty sure they also reused choral recordings from 1994 in "Remember" from the original finale piece. Everything else is new. 23 minutes ago, rolltide1017 said: I saw that this was available on Apple Music now. Well, every track except track 14, the new Beyonce song.

It's that way on Amazon - you can't buy the track individually. As for my own thoughts, it's actually much better than I thought. It does sound like a good expansion of the 1994 material. Though I do wonder how deep Zimmer had to dig in order to find all those percussion patches again If I had to choose a favourite, Battle of Pride Rock for sure. It suggests more flashbacks given the amount of Stampede material incorporated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
