Lakeshore Records is set to release 
The Tiger’s Apprentice—Music from the Paramount+ Original Movie digitally on February 23 featuring an original score by composer Steve Jablonsky (Transformers). Jablonsky’s score captures the spirit of the thrilling animated adventure with a soaring full orchestra, pulsing synths, vocalizations and a variety of Chinese instruments. Based on the popular children’s book series, the film featuring a star-studded voice cast is currently streaming on Paramount+.
A young boy in San Francisco meets a talking tiger named Mr. Hu and discovers he’s the latest in a long line of guardians who protect an ancient phoenix from evildoers.
Notes Jablonsky: “My main goal with this film was to find the right balance between the deep cultural history represented by the characters and the modern approach the film takes to telling their story. I hope the resulting mix of orchestra, synthesizers, percussion, Chinese instruments and vocals matches what the film is trying to say.” He adds, “I played most of the synth parts on this score, but I was fortunate to record LA’s finest musicians; full orchestra, percussion, vocals, plus a variety of Chinese instruments including Dizi and Erhu. This tremendously talented group really brought the score to life.”
