Walt Disney Records releases The Jungle Book soundtrack, featuring score by award-winning composer John Debney ('Iron Man 2'), the end-credit tracks including 'Trust in Me' performed by Scarlett Johansen and produced by Mark Ronson, 'I Wan'na Be Like You' performed by Christopher Walken, plus Dr. John & The Nite Trippers' rendition of 'The Bare Necessities.' The original music was composed and produced by John Debney. The original motion picture soundtrack will be available wherever music is sold from April 15, 2016.
Directed by Jon Favreau ('Iron Man'), based on Rudyard Kipling's timeless stories and inspired by Disney's classic animated film, 'The Jungle Book' is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who's been raised by a family of wolves. 'The Jungle Book' seamlessly blends live-action with photorealistic CGI animals and environments, using up-to-the-minute technology and storytelling techniques to immerse audiences in an enchanting and lush world. The wild adventure swings into theaters in 3D on April 15, 2016.
The all-star voice cast includes Oscar-winners Ben Kingsley ('Learning to Drive,' 'The Walk'), Lupita Nyong'o ('12 Years a Slave,' 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens') and Christopher Walken ('The Deer Hunter'), as well as Bill Murray ('Lost in Translation'), Idris Elba ('Star Trek Beyond'), Scarlett Johansson ('Avengers: Age of Ultron') and Giancarlo Esposito ('Breaking Bad').

With its roots in classic Disney animation, Jon Favreau's epic live-action version of 'The Jungle Book' called for a powerful score. Veteran composer John Debney brought his award-winning sensibilities to the film, along with a notable history as part of the Disney family.
According to John Debney, the plan from the get-go was to create a classic score reminiscent of the 1967 film. Jon Favreau wanted to pay homage to the original in a subtle way. The score features a classic orchestral sound accented by ethnic instruments, including bass flutes, woodwinds, big drums, Indian violin and Indian flute.
