Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Music from the Motion Picture is the score album for the 2022 film of the same name. The score, which was composed by Tom Holkenborg, was released on April 8, 2022, by Paramount Music in both digital and physical formats.

Background and release

In December 2021, Tom Holkenborg, who also composed Sonic the Hedgehog (2020), was announced to be returning to compose the score of its sequel, Sonic the Hedgehog 2.^[1] The film was supported by a single titled "Stars in the Sky", the only original song recorded for the film, by Kid Cudi.^[2] The soundtrack was released on digital platforms by Paramount Music on April 8, 2022, the same day as the film's United States release.^[3]^[4] La-La Land Records also released a limited edition CD of the album in April 2022, and Enjoy the Ride Records released a limited edition cassette tape in August 2022.^[4]^[5]

Reception

Calling it as a highly enjoyable orchestral ride from start to finish, Zanobard Reviews assigned a 7 out of 10 rating and wrote "Though the orchestral style featured throughout Sonic 2 is still very entertaining, with the way it utilises both established and brand new themes as well as both elevating the tension and enjoyability throughout its many edge-of-your-seat action setpieces being pretty sublime. In essence then; while not perfect, it’s another solid score from Holkenborg."^[6] Roberto Nieves of Marooners' Rock thought the score was strong overall, though he criticized it for not incorporating music from the Sonic games.^[7]

Michael Guterres of Comic Book Resources called the scores from both the film and its predecessor "forgettable and unremarkable" stating that they paled in comparison to the music and melodies from the games as well as Holkeborg's prior work.^[8] Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks gave the album a 2 out of 5 star rating, criticizing the score for sounding cheap and generic, and for being weaker than that of the first film. He concluded his review by stating, "A 57-minute score-only album contains none of the outright parody music or songs, and listeners will note that no single cue embodies the enthusiasm and attraction of the suite that concluded the prior score's album."^[9]
