The Legend of Tarzan (soundtrack)

The Legend of Tarzan (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack and score album to the film of the same name featuring original music written, composed and produced by Rupert Gregson-Williams. Initially, he was set to co-write the score with Hans Zimmer, before receiving the sole credit as the film's composer. WaterTower Music released the soundtrack album digitally on June 24, 2016, followed by a physical release on July 15, 2016. It featured two songs, "Opar" co-written by Gregson-Wiliams and Lebo M and performed by Zoe Mthiyane, and "Better Love" written and performed by Hozier, which was used in the film's end credits. Anthony Clarke, Thomas Farnon, and Tom Howe are credited for additional music.

Reception
Music critic Jonathan Broxton gave a mixed review for the soundtrack, saying "There’s nothing greatly wrong with The Legend of Tarzan in the bigger scheme of things; it’s functional, inoffensive, culturally respectful, and goes out of its way to mirror the current board-approved action music sound, which won’t upset any of the film’s key target demographics. "
