Highly Recommended Album: WISH (Soundtrack)

DELUXE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK
FROM WALT DISNEY ANIMATION STUDIOS’ “WISH” AVAILABLE TODAY

Alongside the wide release of the all-new film in theaters today, the Deluxe Soundtrack for Walt Disney  Animation Studio’s Wish is available now on all streaming platforms. Featuring the voices of Ariana DeBose as Asha, Chris Pine as Magnifico, and Alan Tudyk as Asha’s pet goat Valentino, the epic animated musical hits the big screen today.

The Deluxe Soundtrack features the seven all-new songs penned by singer-songwriter Julia Michaels and producer-songwriter-musician Benjamin Rice, plus bonus tracks of their original demos, instrumental track versions, and an Original Score composed by Dave Metzger. Metzger has orchestrated and arranged some of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ most successful scores, including “Tarzan,” “The Lion King,” “Frozen” and “Moana.” Metzger also recently scored the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ short film “Once Upon A Studio.” The original songs have already become viral sensations – generating over 60 million creations resulting in over 5.5 billion views on TikTok alone. The tunes are solid. “Welcome to Rosas” is nicely peppy, and Pine turns on the snarling smarm for villain song “This Is the Thanks I Get?!” “This Wish” is the obvious highlight, soon to become a staple on many a little girl’s streaming playlist.

ABOUT  WISH

We’re of to the magical kingdom of Rosas, where Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force—a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe—the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico—to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen. The film is helmed by Oscar ®-winning director Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn, and produced by Peter Del Vecho and Juan Pablo Reyes Lancaster Jones. With a screenplay by Jennifer Lee and Allison Moore, original songs by Julia Michaels and Benjamin Rice, plus original score by composer Dave Metzger, “Wish” opens only in theaters on Nov. 22, 2023.

Metzger is a seasoned composer, arranger, and orchestrator who has worked on numerous Disney animated films, including “Once Upon a Studio,” “Brother Bear 2,” and “Tarzan 2” and has crafted the songs for many films, including “Tarzan,” “Frozen 2,” and “Moana.” Dave has been nominated for several awards, including a Tony Award for Best Orchestrations for his work on the Broadway musical “The Lion King.”
