Frozen 2: 10 Key Questions You Should Be Asking
2. What Will The New Songs Be?
There is no denying that Frozen contains one of the most iconic Disney soundtracks of all time, with songs like "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?", "Love Is an Open Door" and ESPECIALLY the anthemic "Let It Go" being consistently enjoyed by millions over the last six years.
For Frozen 2, songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez will add around seven more tunes to the Frozen universe. Understandably, the Frozen team is keeping the new music a secret for now. However, they have showcased a new song called Into The Unknown at some promotional events, indicating that it might become a signature anthem for the film.
In addition, Anna’s voice actress, Kristen Bell has claimed that the movie will contain a ballad which "has been stuck in my head since the moment I heard it.” Could a second Oscar for Best Original Song be on the cards?
The soundtrack to Frozen 2 could solve a key problem with the first movie. The majority of Frozen’s great songs occur early in the film - half of them are sung before Elsa freezes the kingdom, and there are no songs in the third act at all.
Moana succeeded in spacing out its musical numbers more effectively, and Frozen 2 also needs to do this in order to keep the audience fully engaged. The Broadway version generally replaced the action sequences from the film with new songs, but here the Lopezes need to find a satisfying way to combine the two.
