A soundtrack album is a collection of music that accompanies a film, television show, or video game. It typically features songs and instrumental pieces that enhance the emotional and narrative aspects of the visual media. Soundtracks can include original compositions, popular songs, or a mix of both, and they are often released to promote the associated project. These albums serve as a way for fans to relive their favorite moments from the film or show through music. They can also introduce listeners to new artists and genres, making soundtracks an important part of the entertainment industry.
