While the kids were here over winter break, my younger daughter mentioned this to me. I had her send me the link to the animatics. I listened to a few of them, getting some ear worms in the process. Today, I was working on some sewing and decided to listen to a few more...or all of them.
So, a quick history is this genius Jorge Rivera-Herrans starts working on his senior thesis in 2019. I want to say right off that I'm glad I didn't hear about this until it was done. Just for my own sake. The final saga was released on Christmas Day.
Anyway, this musical is 40 songs of story and emotion. Almost all of them are so freakin catchy. My daughter asked me for some of my favorites, and I couldn't really do it. I could appreciate the attention to detail in the music, and I was picking up how the songs built on each other (listening to most of it in one sitting probably helped with that).
To be clear, the animatics weren't the draw for me. I started listening to it again with just the music, and I was even more impressed since I could focus more on the lyrics and musical choices. I asked my daughter if there was a full album, and she wasn't sure. I didn't see one yet, but I'm definitely keeping my eyes peeled. As of now, I'm only seeing the sagas separately. I'm going to keep checking, because this was definitely a super experience! Excellent Music!
