Now that we have been enamored by the recently released movie Pitch Perfect 2, it is no wonder that many moviegoers and music fanatics have been humming the songs that accompanied the movie. Pitch Perfect 2 is a movie that has been awaited for by millions of fans from all over the globe, of all ages, of all genders. Because of the well-received first installment, producers never hesitated to release the second chapter of our loved Barden Bellas.
Tracks from the movie itself would surely be part of everyone’s last song syndrome and no one is actually complaining. Pitch Perfect 2 had released the movie’s soundtrack last May 12, 2015 under the enchanting powers of Mark Mothersbaugh for composition. With 18 tracks at hand, Pitch Perfect 2’s list had been greatly accepted by movie and music lovers alike.
Leading the pack of great songs is Jessie J’s Flashlight, which is now heralded as the movie’s official theme song. The Barden Bellas belted out some of the released songs which are Universal Fanfare, medleys like the ones sung on the Convention (Promises/Problem), Back to Basics (Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy/You Can’t Hurry Love/Lady Marmalade/MMMBop/My Lovin’), Cups, and the mixtape sung at the World Championship Finale 1 (My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark/All I Do is Win).
Seasoned Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine contributed through singing All of Me and We Belong with Rebel Wilson. The Trebelemakers, on the other hand, performed songs like Lollipop, Jump and longish medley, Riff Off. We can also see lead star Anna Kendrick give it a try with Snoop Dogg on the song Winter Wonderland and Here Comes the Santa Claus. Universal Fanfare was sung by Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks.
The other potential single here is the dance anthem “Crazy Youngsters,” performed by Ester Dean, best known for co-writing Nicki Minaj’s Super Bass and also part of the Pitch Perfect 2 cast.
“Youngsters” feels like it could have come from Lady Gaga’s Born This Way album, both in sound and theme, as Dean sings, “They call us crazy youngsters. We won’t apologize.” Das Sound Machine’s combination of Fall Out Boy’s “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark” and DJ Khaled’s All I Do Is Win is also quite inspired.
Currently, Pitch Perfect 2’s official album is at number 3 spot at the Australian Albums chart ARIA and at 10th spot at New Zealand lister Recorded Music NZ. Pitch Perfect 2 has received generally positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 69%, based on 137 reviews, with an average rating of 6.1/10.
The site’s critical consensus reads, “Pitch Perfect 2 sings in sweet comedic harmony, even if it doesn’t hit quite as many high notes as its predecessor.” On Metacritic, the film holds score of 63 out of 100, based on 39 critics, indicating “generally favorable reviews”.
