Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:Out of the Shadows (Music from the Motion Picture) is the soundtrack album to the 2016 film of the same name,which is the sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014). The album features the original score composed by Steve Jablonsky and was released on June 3,2016 by Paramount Music.
The original score for Out of the Shadows was written by Steve Jablonsky,who replaced Brian Tyler from the first film and was recommended by the film's executive producer Michael Bay,whom Jablonsky had collaborated in most of the Transformers film series. Like his other projects,Jablonsky would score for the film before eight to ten months,but as the film "was CGI-heavy" he felt it as extremely challenging,since "the visuals coming in late made it challenging for an additional reason—almost nine times out of ten,the music doesn’t fit the scenes or sequences when post-production is finished,which would necessitate for re-scoring the film". [1]
Jablonsky played music for the titular theme for the crew members,which they liked it and taking the cues,he used them in multiple ways,including the main title theme. [2] He added that "there aren’t many things more lighter and fun. Even when they’re in the middle of a life-and-death action scene,they’re still cracking jokes,so I don’t want to take the music too seriously" as the music for the Transformers series being "dark and heavy",resulting him to write fun music. [3]
On the film,Jablonsky said "the way that they shot the opening and designed this new Turtles adventure was very dramatic –it is all about the city of New York,and the Turtles,and these energetic helicopter shots,all following the brothers on this big mission. There’s a build-up to something you think will be huge,but actually,they’re just going to see a Knicks game. And we knew that right up front. We saw this as a big theme moment,and a chance to set up the Turtles –who are important to the city –and do something bold,and high-energy,but still very fun." [3]
Mexican boy band CD9 performed the updated version of the original show's theme song for the film. [4] [5] The album was released on June 3,2016 by Paramount Music. [6]
Jonathan Broxton wrote "Steve Jablonsky’s music isn’t high art,nor is it meant to be. But what it does do is accompany one of the most ludicrous comic book creations of all time,and successfully provide a coherent musical structure,with themes and motifs,emotional catharsis,and the right amount of energy so that you can almost –almost –take all of this seriously." [7] James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "It’s enjoyable music,providing the kind of in-the-moment highs you get from fast food. What draws it back is that 70 minutes is too long for fast food –a large number of the album’s 22 tracks are essentially constructed the same way,a few bars of ominous doom before action music (either light or dark) bursts forth,one of the anthemic themes plays,it climaxes a couple of minutes later and then starts again in the next track. That makes it have the feel of one of those curious trailer music albums –a classier version,but not exactly music for the ages. It’s fun,just not lasting fun,the themes are good but not developed,just repeated." [8] Germain Lussier of Gizmodo criticised the film's music,saying "The score by Steve Jablonsky sounds almost identical to his score from the first Transformers film and,if you happen to notice that,it creates a huge disconnect. The Turtles deserve their own musical identity and this score fails to do that in a big,big way. Every time the music crescendos to an emotional moment,I felt like I was watching a different movie."
