Listen to an Exclusive Track From the Smile 2 Soundtrack by Cristobal Tapia de Veer

October 24, 2024

ComingSoon is excited to debut the track “Smilers” from the Smile 2 soundtrack by Cristobal Tapia de Veer. Lakeshore Records will release Smile 2 — Music from the Motion Picture on October 25. It is now available to pre-save.

Tapia de Veer is a three-time Emmy and BAFTA-winning composer. He’s best known for his work on Utopia, Black Mirror, and The White Lotus. The latter won him three Primetime Emmy awards, one for the main title music and two for the Season 1 and Season 2 scores. Tapia de Veer also scored 2022’s Smile before returning for the sequel, which is now playing in theaters.

“Director Parker Finn has this uncanny ability to bring out the most intense work from his collaborators, while being the calmest guy, interestingly. Everything is turned up to 11. Even the strangest vocal I’d send to him, he’d be up for it. It’s a wonderful situation. Some musical ideas in Smile 2 might represent severe isolation for example, which materialize in the form of monstrously dissonant, sad and abstract voices and melodies. To be able to push the envelope in the context of a big studio production is a rare luxury,” said Tapia de Veer.

Check out the track “Smilers” by Cristobal Tapia de Veer from the Smile 2 soundtrack below:

“About to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley begins to experience increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and pressures of fame, she must face her dark past to regain control of her life before it spirals out of control,” says the film’s synopsis.

ComingSoon gave Smile 2 a positive review, claiming that it “builds on the insanity of the first film by being an intense, gory sequel done right.” The review also praised star Naomi Scott’s performance, which was said to be “nothing short of mesmerizing.” In total, it was hailed as “one of the finest horror movies of 2024.”
