That\u2019s due in large part to the persistence of \u201cLet It Go,\u201d the omnipresent Oscar-winning anthem. For the movie\u2019s highly anticipated sequel, Disney has smartly reassembled the same cast and the songwriting team of Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez\u2014all Broadway veterans\u2014for a set of eight new originals that feels every bit as quotable and considered. There are vaguely traditional folk tunes (new recruit Evan Rachel Wood\u2019s \u201cAll Is Found\u201d) and \u201980s power ballads (\u201cLost in the Woods\u201d), autumnal pop-rock gems (\u201cSome Things Never Change\u201d) and an Olaf solo (\u201cWhen I Am Older\u201d), as well as perfectly suited bonus takes from Kacey Musgraves, Weezer, and Panic! At the Disco. But it\u2019s Idina Menzel\u2019s \u201cInto the Unknown\u201d that makes a case as worthy successor to \u201cLet It Go.\u201d Haloed by a haunting vocal from Norwegian artist AURORA, it\u2019s another belter with a cliff\u2019s-edge chorus and a powerful message: Listen to yourself, embrace who you are.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/geo.music.apple.com\/us\/album\/frozen-2-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-deluxe\/1487738280?mt=1&amp;app=music&amp;at=1010lLq2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stream Frozen 2 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack \/ Deluxe Edition!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since its 2013 theatrical release, Frozen has become a billion-dollar phenomenon\u2014not just Disney\u2019s most well-received animated feature since the studio\u2019s early-\u201990s renaissance, but a juggernaut whose impact extends way past its target audience.
