Cars 3

Cars 3 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album for the 2017 American computer-animated sports comedy-adventure film Cars 3 that features compilation of incorporated and original songs. The album was released by Walt Disney Records on June 16, 2017, coinciding with the film's theatrical release. A separate film score album, Cars 3 (Original Score), composed by Randy Newman, was also released by Walt Disney Records on the same date, also coinciding with the film's theatrical release. The film, directed by Brian Fee and produced by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, is the third installment of the Cars film series and the sequel to Cars 2 (2011). In May 2017, Walt Disney Records officially announced the release of two soundtracks: separately for the songs and score, unlike for the previous films, where both the songs and original scores by Newman and Michael Giacchino, had compiled into a single album. Fee said that both the score and the soundtrack "really help support the story we are telling". Cars 3 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Background Fee and Reher wanted a separate soundtrack, that contained the original and incorporated songs. The team worked with Tom MacDougall (who worked on soundtracks for Disney Animation films), for compiling the original songs along with Chris Montan. Lea DeLaria, who voiced for Mrs. Fritter in the film had also sang the jazz song "Freeway of Love". Various artists such as Andra Day, James Bay, Brad Paisley and Jorge Blanco had performed the tracks. Two original songs — "Run That Race", performed and written by Dan Auerbach and "Ride", performed by ZZ Ward featuring Gary Clark Jr. — were released as singles on April 14 and June 15, 2017. Auerbach who stated the song is "about never giving up and always trying your best", and further said that the filmmakers showed him the story and some dialogue, from which he pieced together a story for the song. Bustle's Johny Brayson reviewed that "With the Cars 3 soundtrack, the fast-paced franchise is once again proving that it's the most rockin' animated series around, and that's to be expected when your main character has a name as awesome as Lightning McQueen." Three of the songs, were featured in the "best musical moments of the Cars franchise" according to CinemaBlend. Track listing
