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 often help to promote the associated project. These albums serve as a way for fans to relive their favorite moments from the movie or show through music. Some soundtracks, like those from Disney films or musicals, become iconic and are enjoyed independently of the visual content, showcasing the power of music in storytelling.
