Atlantic Records, Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation release sophomore single, “My Own Drum Remix” starring newcomer Ynairaly Simo and featuring the iconic Missy Elliott, from the upcoming animated musical adventure, Vivo (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). The energetic track is helmed by stand out performances from both Ynairaly and Missy Elliott who adds her inimitable touch to the track. Watch the official lyric video HERE. The official soundtrack will feature all-new songs written and performed by the award-winning creator of Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda, with other highly-charged performances from cast and superstar music artists including Gloria Estefan, Juan de Marcos, Zoe Saldaña, Bryan Henry Tyree and more. Serving as the film’s composer and executive music producer is Tony® and Grammy® award-winner Alex Lacamoire (The Greatest Showman), who has collaborated with Lin-Manuel Miranda on various projects since their initial partnership on Broadway’s In The Heights. Academy Award-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins served as visual consultant.
The eagerly awaited soundtrack arrives at all streaming services on Friday, August 6th. Vivo will premiere globally on Netflix Friday, August 6th.
The soundtrack’s first single, “Keep The Beat ” arrived last week alongside a clip where Vivo (voiced by Lin-Manuel Miranda), a musically gifted kinkajou (aka a rainforest “honey bear”) embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to deliver a song to his cherished owner’s long-lost love, with the help of Gabi (voiced by Ynairaly Simo) – an energetic tween who bounces to the beat of her own offbeat drum. Along the way, the pair have been forced to take a shortcut through the Florida Everglades – but nothing can stop this dynamic duo, not even ‘gators! Watch the clip HERE.
Stay tuned for more amazing music to come from the Vivo (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack).
