MINION SONGS LIST MOVIE

I tried to make her a little more sweet in a way. While the Minions had their own themes, Pereira wrote a new theme for Scarlet Overkill ( Sandra Bullock), who has stated that 'Scarlet is not like Lucy in Despicable Me 2. That was a lot of fun because we almost made a dictionary of their sounds and let the music follow the same kind of repetition.' Pereira took the music from their travel through time and acquired all the personalities through the score. Instead of compensating for their lack of language I decided to back off, give them space, and let their phonetic sounds be very clear.

He further said that 'Their language is not language, but the cumulative aspect of the repetition of those words is like creating a language in itself In Minions, a lot of things go by and then the narrator has left the movie and now they are out there on their own. Pereira compared the music for the Minions to that of the Three Stooges, where the difference is Minions could not speak English. Pereira, on the use of Minions language I find that the same goes with the Minions’ language.' But the rhythm and the waves of the sounds that the language created somehow already put me in a certain frame of mind. 'I'm from Brazil, but the first time I heard The Beatles, I didn’t have a clue what they were singing about. He added that 'it was fun to write music around it and try to make the orchestral music and band music to somehow be holding hands with the music of the period without sounding like somebody that wrote the music then'. He also featured some of the songs in the film are sung by the Minions themselves. The directors love music and those were the songs that they felt at the moment represented the storytelling the most, like ' You Really Got Me' or ' My Generation'. He had stated on the selection of popular songs from the 1960s, saying 'Those songs represent an era but they also have to have a relationship to the moment in the movie where they appear. As the film was mostly set during the 1960s, Pereira recorded the music using vintage microphones which were used by The Beach Boys and Frank Sinatra, which he felt as 'an opportunity to pay homage to the musicians and technicians of that time' and also inspired composers such as Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin and John Barry. The score was fully orchestrated and dramatic to give a feel of 'classic action film'. Pereira who watched the Despicable Me films, observed audience reaction to the Minion characters, and felt that 'this is now a part of their lives, and I want to do justice to this dedication from the audience', resulting him to score for Minions.

The soundtrack for the film was released, alongside the film, on July 10, 2015, by Back Lot Music. Minions, however is the first film in the franchise, without the involvement of Williams and Pereira taking over the sole credit as the composer.

The original music is composed by Heitor Pereira who previously worked on Despicable Me (2010) and Despicable Me 2 (2013), where he composed the score with Pharrell Williams.

Minions: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to the 2015 film Minions, a spin-off/ prequel and the third installment overall in the Despicable Me franchise, directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda, the latter in his feature directorial debut.
