Moana 2 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Moana 2 is the soundtrack album to the 2024 Disney animated film Moana 2 released by Walt Disney Records on November 22, 2024. The 16-track album features original songs written by Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foaʻi returning from the first film, while Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear replaced the first film's composer Lin-Manuel Miranda to co-compose the songs. The musical numbers were performed by the voice cast members, Auliʻi Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Rachel House, Awhimai Fraser, Hualālai Chung, along with New Zealand musicians Olivia Foa'i, Te Vaka, Sulata Foai-Amiatu, Matatia Foaʻi and Matthew Ineleo. A deluxe edition of the album was released on November 25, featuring the original score composed by Mancina and Foaʻi and six instrumental versions of the songs. The album was preceded by the first single "Beyond" released on November 7, 2024, as the spiritual sequel to "How Far I'll Go". The soundtrack received mostly mixed reception from critics who compared the show tunes unfavorably to the music from its predecessor due to the absence of Miranda's involvement, while the instrumental score was a critical and commercial success.
