During the 2019 D23 Expo, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross were revealed to be composing the film's score, while Jon Batiste was set to be writing jazz songs for the film. [4] Reznor and Ross had been brought in on the recommendation of sound designer Ren Klyce, who had worked extensively with the duo in David Fincher films. [5] Batiste composed jazz music for the film's New York City sequences while Reznor and Ross wrote an instrumental score for the scenes taking place in the Great Before. [6] Batiste said that he wanted to create jazz music that felt "authentic", but also "accessible to all ages". [4] He also wanted the themes to tie into the "ethereal nature" of the Great Before while still being on Earth. [4] Batiste also sometimes worked with Reznor and Ross to "blend the two worlds, musically". [4] Cody Chesnutt also wrote, produced, and performed an original folk-soul ballad for the film, titled "Parting Ways". [7] [8] It also features a hip hop interlude performed by Daveed Diggs titled "Rappin Ced". [7] Other musicians who were consulted during the creative process include Herbie Hancock, Terri Lyne Carrington and Questlove, the latter of whom also does voice work in the film. [9] Batiste drew inspiration from and wanted to pay homage to jazz legends such as Roy Haynes, Harvey Mason, Branford Marsalis, Kenny Kirkland, Charlie Parker and The Headhunters. [5] Batiste also arranged a new version of the song "It's All Right", originally performed by The Impressions, for the film. [10] This solo version debuted during a performance by Nelly on the 29th season of American competition TV series Dancing with the Stars [10] and is featured in the end credits of the film while a duet version with British soul singer Celeste is not included in the soundtrack. [11] In January 2021, Trent Reznor revealed to Consequence of Sound that he and Atticus Ross had composed six films' worth of music for Soul and also further explained his creative process, stating: [12]

As we started early on, it's like, "I can't wait to see this character"… that doesn't exist because he’s not even in the film anymore. Or this expansive moment where you're watching a beautiful scene for a minute and a half, which is now three seconds, because a joke popped up, and now it's a different thing. So, I think we started a lot earlier last time than we would in the future. But it was fascinating to see the process. And I remember as we were getting into it, they could say, "Let’s see. Trust the process. We’ve come up with a way to do this." And I don’t mean a factory assembly line, but a strategy of openness and collaboration between not just two or three or four or five people but possibly lots of people.

Release and promotion

Critical response

The soundtrack received a positive response from both music critics and film critics alike. [9] [20] [21] [22] Many film reviews praised the score as a major highlight of the film. [23] Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Featuring possibly the best soundtrack in a Pixar film since the first Toy Story , Soul sports a jazz score that is not just an adornment to the story or an emotional enhancement, but an utterly integral part of the narrative." [22] Reznor and Ross's compositions during the metaphysical segments of the film was described musically as new-age and space age, while Batiste's work was described musically as jazz. [24] [7] [25] In a film review for The A.V. Club , A.A. Dowd described the score as "uncharacteristically soothing", [26] while Matt Goldberg of Collider described it as "spellbinding", [27] and A .O. Scott of The New York Times described it as "cerebral". [28]
