Background
On January 18, 2024, it was announced that Italian composer Dario Marianelli would score music for the film, replacing Rob Simonsen, who previously scored the predecessor; this film marked Marianelli's second collaboration with director Gil Kenan after A Boy Called Christmas (2021). He recorded the score at the Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage at the Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.[1]
On March 7, 2024, Japanese girl group Atarashii Gakko! released a track called "Ghostbusters: Frozen Summer" as a collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan, which samples the titular song for the 1984 film by Ray Parker Jr.[2] The score album was released through Sony Classical Records, digitally on March 22 and in physical CDs on April 12.[3]
Critical reception
Filmtracks.com wrote "Marianelli's competent and occasionally impressive toil for this film simply reinforces the achievement realized by Simonsen for the previous film."[4] Anton Smit of Soundtrack World wrote "Marianelli did a stellar job mixing his creative mind with Bernstein's legacy, which is worthy for the next generation of Ghostbusters."[5]
