While the soundtrack to Encanto continues to sit on top of the music charts for the fifth week in the row, Disney is getting ready for its next big movie music takeover. Today, the studio released song “Nobody Like U” and its companion lyric video from the forthcoming Turning Red Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The soundtrack features three original songs (“Nobody Like U,” “1 True Love, “U Know What’s Up”) performed by the fictional boy band 4*Town, written by Grammy-winning singer-songwriters Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell, with an original score by Oscar/Grammy/Emmy-winning composer Ludwig Göransson (Black Panther, The Mandalorian).
The voices behind Pixar’s first-ever boy band include Jordan Fisher as Robaire, Finneas O’Connell as Jesse, Topher Ngo as Aaron T., Grayson Villanueva as Tae Young, and Josh Levi as Aaron Z. Turning Red introduces Mei Lee (voice of Rosalie Chiang), a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. Her protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming (voice of Sandra Oh), is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager. And as if changes to her interests, relationships and body weren’t enough, whenever she gets too excited, she “poofs” into a giant red panda. Turning Red is directed by Academy Award-winner Domee Shi (Pixar short Bao) and produced by Lindsey Collins (Finding Dory).
Turning Red’s digital soundtrack is set for release on March 11 and is available now for pre-save. Disney/Pixar’s Turning Red streams exclusively on Disney+ on March 11, 2022.
