  • Comment: Believe this is notable, but the site filmmusicreporter is a wordpress site and unreliable per WP:UGC, and it is used thrice. Also, the genres are unsourced, and seem like original research. Also, there isn't too much prose here, why don't you merge this article to Clouds (2020 film)? It's commonplace to have soundtrack sections in film articles. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 19:13, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Clouds (Music from the Disney+ Original Movie) is the soundtrack album to the 2020 film Clouds. Based on the life of late American singer/songwriter Zach Sobiech from the memoir Fly a Little Higher: How God Answered a Mom's Small Prayer in a Big Way by Laura Sobiech, it is directed by Justin Baldoni and featured musical score composed by Brian Tyler.[1] The soundtrack featured incorporated songs by the lead actors Fin Argus[2] and Sabrina Carpenter, Sobiech's dissolved band A Firm Handshake, Renforshort and OneRepublic. It was released by the record labels Interscope and Walt Disney on October 16, 2020.[3] Prior to the soundtrack release, OneRepublic's original song "Wild Life" was released as the lead single on September 25.[4] The titular track "Clouds", which was Sobiech's own song, altered and composed by Tyler and performed by the lead cast, was released as the second single on October 9,[5] and the third song "afterthoughts" performed by Renforshort was released as a single on October 15, accompanied by a music video.[6]

Development

The film marked Tyler's second collaboration with Baldoni after Five Feet Apart (2019).[7][8] As Tyler, liked writing for melodious and melancholic songs, he agreed for scoring for the film, which was based on the life of late musician.[7] He formally consulted, Sobiech's family and described about the film and its musical approach. He further bought Sobiech's mixtapes for the musical approach, he demanded as he had to create something that fit with and responded to the folk-pop vibe of Sobiech's tunes. Tyler believed that "he wanted to celebrate Sobiech's legacy through his score, which also reflected the type of musician he would have grown into". The film incorporates Sobiech's songs, which Tyler "altered the way he had approached". He played several instruments while recording the score, including piano, harp, glockenspiel, guitar, while also provided backing vocals for few tracks.[9] In addition a 9-minute score suite was created and included in the album.[10]

Promotion

As a part of the promotional activities, Clouds: A Musical Celebration, a virtual concert dedicated to Sobeich was streamed live through the official Facebook page of Disney+ on October 24, 2020, and was later published to YouTube.[11] Apart from the lead actors, Fin Argus and Sabrina Carpenter, performing the songs, the concert featured musical performances from OneRepublic, renforshort, Sobiech's bandmate Samantha "Sammy" Brown, and additional performances by Jason Mraz and DCappella, while director Justin Baldoni, and few of the supporting cast members, appeared in the concert.[12][13]

Reception

Filmtracks.com wrote "The movie required its original music to exist amongst a number of source-like placements of music that Sobiech performed and penned, with Tyler serving to help produce some of these insertions. The score, therefore, fits in between these obvious feel-good placements of song material and drives a comparatively conservative emotional mood that is not meant to guide the personality of the film so much as augment its ambience. The score on album loses some of its muster due to its intended redundancy, but that won't deter enthusiasts of the concept from loving every moment of its soft rock reverence. It's a score with undeniable heart from Tyler, but one that packs its best punch in a shorter presentation."[14]
