Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2024 film Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) and the fifth film in the Ghostbusters franchise. The film's original score was composed by Dario Marianelli, and was released through Sony Classical Records on March 22, 2024.
Background On January 18, 2024, it was announced that Italian composer Dario Marianelli would score music for the film, replacing Rob Simonsen, who previously scored the predecessor; this film marked Marianelli's second collaboration with director Gil Kenan after A Boy Called Christmas (2021). He recorded the score at the Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage at the Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.
On March 7, 2024, Japanese girl group Atarashii Gakko! released a track called "Ghostbusters: Frozen Summer" as a collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan, which samples the titular song for the 1984 film by Ray Parker Jr. The score album was released through Sony Classical Records, digitally on March 22 and in physical CDs on April 12.
Critical reception Filmtracks.com wrote "Marianelli's competent and occasionally impressive toil for this film simply reinforces the achievement realized by Simonsen for the previous film." Anton Smit of Soundtrack World wrote "Marianelli did a stellar job mixing his creative mind with Bernstein's legacy, which is worthy for the next generation of Ghostbusters."
