Migration (soundtrack): History and Key Facts

Migration (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2023 Illumination film Migration. The original score was composed by John Powell, marking his second collaboration with Illumination following The Lorax (2012). Director Benjamin Renner wanted a creative and fun score for the film. Powell heavily used string instruments and human vocals in the score and tried emulating 1960s music. He was tasked with creating a theme for the main character, Mack, that showed his growth over the course of the story. For New York City, Powell used unusual instruments to give it an alien-like atmosphere.

The album also features a cover of Destiny's Child's 2001 single "Survivor" performed by Mon Laferte, and was released for digital download and streaming on December 15, 2023, by Back Lot Music.
