Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (soundtrack): History and Key Facts

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the score album to the 2019 film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil directed by Joachim Rønning, a sequel to Maleficent (2014). Geoff Zanelli, who previously collaborated with Rønning on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017), scored music for the film, replacing James Newton Howard, who composed for the predecessor. The soundtrack was released by Walt Disney Records on October 18, 2019. It features 22 score cues composed by Zanelli, and a theme song "You Can't Stop the Girl" by Bebe Rexha, released earlier as a single on September 20, 2019. The score received positive critical response, with Zanelli's composition being considered as an improvement over Howard's score from the predecessor.
