Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2024 film Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) and the fifth film in the Ghostbusters franchise. The film's original score composed by Dario Marianelli, released through Sony Classical Records on March 22, 2024.

Background[edit]

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 Kenan after A Boy Called Christmas (2021). He recorded the score at the Barbara 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[edit]

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]
