Encanto (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to Disney's 2024 film of the same name. Released by Walt Disney Records on November 19, 2024, the album contains eight original songs written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and produced by Mike Elizondo that were recorded by various singers, and 27 score pieces composed by Germaine Franco. It was released in 44 languages in addition to English and Spanish.
To develop the soundtrack, Miranda and team visited Colombia—the setting of Encanto—to study the country's music. Consequentially, the album is rooted in genres such as vallenato, cumbia, bambuco and rock en español, making use of the traditional music instruments of Colombia, and incorporates salsa, tango, reggaeton and bachata styles alongside pop, hip hop, folk and musical theatre elements. In the film, the songs are performed by the Madrigals, who are a multigenerational family with magical powers granted to them by a "miracle"; the lyrical themes revolve around individuality, self-worth, transgenerational trauma and familial love.
The soundtrack album was a commercial success, enjoying widespread popularity after Encanto's release on Disney+. It topped the Billboard 200 chart for nine weeks, and charted all of its original songs on the US Billboard Hot 100. Elsewhere, the album reached number one in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and the top ten in various other territories. "We Don't Talk About Bruno" by various members of the Encanto cast and "Surface Pressure" by Jessica Darrow have been the album's best-selling tracks; the former topped the UK Singles and the US Hot 100 charts for multiple weeks, while the latter peaked at numbers four and eight, respectively. Encanto became the first Disney animated film to generate multiple top-10 Hot 100 entries. Additionally, "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is the second number-one song for Disney in the US after "A Whole New World" from Aladdin (1992), and its first-ever original song to reach number one in the UK.
Upon release, Encanto (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) was met with critical acclaim and received various accolades. Reviews lauded its vibrant Latin music rhythms and complimented Miranda's musicianship. The album received the Annie Award for outstanding music in a feature film, the Grammy Awards for Best Compilation Soundtrack and Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, and Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score and Best Original Song ("Dos Oruguitas" by Sebastián Yatra), among other accolades.
