Bumblebee (soundtrack)
Bumblebee (Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2018 film of the same name directed by Travis Knight, the sixth installment in the Transformers film series. The soundtrack to the film consisted of several popular songs from the 1980s, which were released by Republic Records on the same day as the film's release, December 21, 2018. Bumblebee (Motion Picture Score), an album consisting of the film's original score composed by Dario Marianelli, was released by Paramount Music on the same date.
Hailee Steinfeld performed the lead single "Back to Life" released on November 2, 2018. Two days later, she then performed the song live at 2018 MTV Europe Music Awards.
Dario Marianelli composed the film's score thereby being the first film in the Transformers film series, not to be composed by Steve Jablonsky. He previously collaborated with the film's director, Travis Knight on the stop-motion animated film Kubo and the Two Strings (2016).
La-La Land Records released the limited edition of the soundtrack pressed to 2,000 copies on May 18, 2021.
Zanobard Reviews gave 5 out of 10 to the album, saying "the score to Bumblebee is fine. It's not ridiculously great or horrendously awful, it's just…nothing special" and criticised the decision for not featuring Jablonsky's themes. Anton Smit of Soundtrack World commented "This score is a good example of a well-implemented underscore for a movie. It helps with enhancing the emotions that evoked in each scene, but it is just not that interesting to listen to as a stand-alone album- with the exception of the “Charlie” theme. The theme itself is beautiful but is not able to carry the rest of the album."
Filmtracks.com wrote "the score holds its own despite all the song placements, though the acoustic guitar theme for the woman sounds a bit out of tune at times given its broken progressions in comparison to all the tonal songs surrounding its usage. And the absence of a cameo for the Jablonsky theme or the original television show's theme at the reunion scene on the Golden Gate Bridge (Optimus Prime in Freightliner truck mode has never looked so good) is a missed opportunity. But Marianelli's thoughtful entry into this franchise is very well handled and certainly merits his continued involvement." James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "it's all fine, and shows that Marianelli could do more films like this if he wanted to – he's demonstrated a side to himself that we didn't really know was there – but while it's obviously better than another generic Remote Control score, and while it is proper music, with at times ferociously complex orchestration, it's not really the most memorable – it's really in films like Kubo that he can really shine."
