Hilda and the Lost Ring/Soundtrack

Hilda and the Lost Ring: The Soundtrack Album is a soundtrack album released on March 25, 2022 by BMG Rights Management for the film of the same name, less than two months before its release. The album contains songs that are played in-film. It also contains "The Last Night", an original song performed for the film by American indie artist Greta Kline and her band Frankie Cosmos.
== Background ==
The idea of a soundtrack album of the film came in around mid 2021, when post-production wrapped up on Hilda and the Lost Ring. Luke Pearson wanted to release an album of what songs would be in the film. He used folk and 80s-like music to give the album a nostalgic feeling, as well as adding then-unreleased music, such as "Purple Zone". Pearson got permission from Soft Cell to use "Purple Zone" onto the album, after attending one of their concerts. He was in talks with executives at BMG Rights Management to release the album.
On January 28, 2022, BMG announced the soundtrack album, featuring songs from bands such as Frankie Cosmos, Toploader, The Go-Go's, Soft Cell, Kishi Bashi, Walter Martin, Almedal, Electric Light Orchestra, The Who, and Corey Hart. It would be released on CD, vinyl, cassette, and digital.
