Various Artists - Wicked [2LP Pink & Green Split Color Vinyl]

Built around the changing relationship between Elphaba and Glinda, Wicked: The Soundtrack brings Stephen Schwartz's songs from the stage musical into Jon M. Chu's film. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande lead the cast, with Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, and Peter Dinklage appearing throughout the story. This edition spreads the soundtrack across two pink and green split color vinyl records in a gatefold jacket.

"No One Mourns the Wicked" opens with Glinda addressing the citizens of Oz before the story returns to Elphaba's childhood and arrival at Shiz. "What Is This Feeling?" turns Elphaba and Glinda's hostility into a sharply paced ensemble number, while "Dancing Through Life" gives Jonathan Bailey's Fiyero a carefree introduction that expands into several connected character scenes. "One Short Day" celebrates the Emerald City before "Defying Gravity" closes the album with Elphaba's decision to oppose the Wizard.

The soundtrack follows two outsiders who respond differently to popularity, authority, and public judgment. Glinda learns that acceptance can demand compromise, while Elphaba discovers that doing what she believes is right may turn Oz against her. Their friendship remains central through rivalry, romantic conflict, the treatment of Animals, and the Wizard's attempt to control Elphaba's power.
