Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Soundtrack Out This Week
To tie in with the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in cinemas, Disney is releasing the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack physical and digital soundtrack on the same day the film opens in U.S. theaters.
The score features music by Emmy®-winning composer Geoff Zanelli with melodies filled with excitement and intrigue as befits the pirates’ latest journey.
Composer Geoff Zanelli is a standout in the film and television scoring industry, garnering accolades and recognition for his diverse musical voice. Notably, his experience with the Pirates franchise goes back to its 2003 beginning, having contributed music and collaborated with composer Hans Zimmer. Some of his other credits include Steven Spielberg’s “Into The West,” Disney’s “The Odd Life of Timothy Green,” “The Pacific,” “Disturbia,” “Hitman,” “Outlander” and more recently “Mortdecai,” for which he collaborated with Grammy®-award winning Mark Ronson on both the co-written score and songs.
Here is a look at the artwork for this soundtrack:
Zanelli said, “Pirates of the Caribbean was a dream project for me right from the very first film. To have served these iconic stories, which continue to inspire people young and old all over the world is easily one of the biggest highlights of my life. Musically, I took the helm right as the world of ‘Pirates’ expanded with a darker and more emotional tale than ever before, and there was no shortage of inspiration each day. Because I approached this with passion equal to the filmmakers, the actors, and everyone else involved, I can say this about my score for ‘Dead Men Tell No Tales’: I meant every note.”
Also available digitally is the bonus track “He’s a Pirate” by Hans Zimmer vs. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. The original theme was introduced in “The Curse of the Black Pearl” by Oscar®-winning composer Hans Zimmer (“Interstellar,” “The Dark Knight,” “The Lion King”) and has been re-recorded by Belgian DJ and music producer duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, who recently had two No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart.
The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be available wherever music is sold on May 26, 2017.
Our Take:
If your a fan of the movie, this soundtrack will certainly be for you, it contains some big orchestra sounds that Hans Zimmer does so well, plus it does have new versions of that classic songs from the movie, which I’ve now got stuck in my head after listening to some of the music from the movie while writing this!
Will you be picking up this new soundtrack?
