Kamasi Washington’s “Trying To Get There,” featuring Leon Bridges, is available ahead of Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy. SonySoundtracksVEVO posted the official audio on November 10. The Apple TV special and its soundtrack are both scheduled for November 13.
If a search for the two artists leaves you looking at a Snoopy album page, you have reached the right project. The song belongs to the new special. You can hear it now, ahead of the album and screen premiere on Friday.
Find track seven
Open the description beneath the official audio and you’ll find the soundtrack’s 14-track list. “Trying To Get There” is number seven, following “Day Two Troubles” and leading into “Snoopy Claus.” Use that sequence to find the collaboration if your app opens the album instead of its single page.
There are two other guest performances to look for alongside it:
- Track one, “Get Ready,” is by John Legend. Apple identifies Raphael Saadiq as its producer.
- Track seven is Washington’s “Trying To Get There,” featuring Bridges.
- Track thirteen is Laufey’s performance of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” produced by Spencer Stewart.
The label’s list gives those track positions; production credits appear in Apple’s announcement. Laufey sings a holiday standard here. The release combines that familiar title with new songs, so an “original soundtrack” label should not be read as a claim that every composition was written for this film.
A song today, the wider release on Friday
Apple names Jeff Morrow as the special’s composer. The Apple Music album listing bills Jeff Morrow and Peanuts, lists 14 tracks and gives November 13 as the release date. Its copyright line places the recording with Peanuts Worldwide under exclusive licence to Milan Records, part of Sony Music Entertainment.
Look beneath that album-level billing for the individual performer credits. Bridges appears on the Washington song, even though his name isn’t part of the album’s main artist field. Save the official soundtrack link if you want to return when the full release arrives.
The screen premiere is a different destination again. Apple’s story follows Snoopy trying to get off Santa’s naughty list with twelve days left until Christmas. The special provides the narrative setting; the album provides a track sequence for listening separately. Our guide to scores and soundtrack albums explores that distinction in games, where the same search problem often comes up.
The official audio is the place to start with Washington and Bridges. We have not reviewed the complete soundtrack or the special ahead of release. Those arrive on November 13, when listeners can follow the guest songs into the rest of Morrow’s programme.
