Incredibles 2

Incredibles 2 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2018 film Incredibles 2, the sequel to Pixar's The Incredibles (2004). The film is directed by Brad Bird and featured musical score composed by Michael Giacchino, who also worked on the predecessor. The recording of the score began during mid-2017 and continued till May 2018, at the Sony Scoring Stage in California. The soundtrack album was released digitally, alongside the film, on June 15, by Walt Disney Records and in CDs on June 29. The soundtrack featured Giacchino's scores as well as vocalised theme songs for Mr. Incredible, Frozone, and Elastigirl featured in the credits. The digital release also featured bonus versions of the theme songs sung by Disney's a cappella group, DCappella, and their version of the track "The Glory Days" from the predecessor. Background In October 2015, Bird confirmed that his regular collaborator Michael Giacchino would return to score music for the sequel. By May 2017, Giacchino began working on the film score. However, in an interview to Collider, two months later, Giacchino said that he actually had not begun writing the score, but described the score as "it'll feel like the same universe but we'll go a couple new places here and there and I think you'll be happy. It's an incredibly fun, fun, fun follow up. So I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of it all." The scoring process delayed due to Giacchino's commitments with Spider-Man: Homecoming, War of the Planet of the Apes and Coco. In February 2018, work on the film's music began, with scoring held at Sony Scoring Stage in California. Giacchino shared few snippets from the recording sessions. Bird described on Giacchino's work as "he (Giacchino) brings a unique perspective to it and I almost think of him like another character or another actor on the film because he’s interpreting the story and he has a very good storytelling sense, so his music always has a storytelling aspect." Giacchino's brother Mick, worked on the film's additional music, and his wife Grace, also co-wrote few themes. In April 2018, Preston Elliot and Nick McIlwain of the Preston & Steve band had performed a new theme song "Elastigirl Is Back", released alongside the film's soundtrack on June 15, 2018. Like the first film, Giacchino used jazz and orchestral music for the score.
