Space Jam: A New Legacy (soundtrack)

Space Jam: A New Legacy is the soundtrack album to the 2021 live-action/animated sports comedy film Space Jam: A New Legacy produced by Warner Animation Group and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was released on July 9, 2021, by Republic Records and WaterTower Music.

Background
Kier Lehman and Morgan Rhodes served as the music supervisors. They wanted "songs that were fun as we ushered in a new generation, that would help move the excitement as the game moves to give a nod to what came before", Salt-N-Pepa, which recorded "Upside Down (‘Round-N-‘Round)" for the first film, collaborated with Saweetie and Kash Doll for the track "Hoops", thereby becoming the first artist to feature on both soundtracks. == Track listing ==
Additional music
2 Unlimited's "Get Ready for This", one of the songs from the first film, is briefly heard in one scene with Al-G and Dom. "Sirius", an instrumental song by Alan Parsons Project that serves as the entrance anthem for the Chicago Bulls, is heard briefly when Sylvester brings out Michael B. Jordan to the Tune Squad, who believe that its the basketball player Michael Jordan even though he isn't. == Reception ==
Reception
Like the movie itself, the soundtrack also received a negative response from critics. Pitchfork's Alphonse Pierre called the soundtrack as "soulless and gratuitous" as the film and gave 2.3/10 to the album. Soul In Stereo, in a positive note, wrote "Like the film its promotes, his soundtrack too often feels like a nostalgic cash in, and most of the artists here don’t seem all that interested themselves. but a soundtrack promoting a kids movie – us old heads may be bored to tears, but younger fans will have a ball, fueling nostalgic memories for years to come." == References ==
