Red Tails (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2012 war film Red Tails, directed by Anthony Hemingway. The film's musical score is composed by Terence Blanchard with 28 original pieces from the score and four additional compositions from other musicians used in the film.[1] [2] Blanchard recorded the score two years ago and recorded the film's music at the Dvořák Hall in Rudolfinum at Prague for three days.[3] The album was released through Sony Masterworks on January 17, 2012.

Critical reception

Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote "This is Blanchard's most unusual and populist score by Hollywood standards; that said, it's a complete gas to listen to."[4] James Adams of The Globe and Mail wrote that Blanchard's score "looks good and feels epic".[5] David Roark of Paste summarized that Blanchard's "sappy" score stylizes the film's vintage look.[6]
