New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Woody, Buzz and the gang are back in the highly anticipated Disney and Pixar animated film, "Toy Story 4". Accompanying the film is Walt Disney Records' soundtrack album, which reunites the Toy Story franchise with the Academy Award®-winning composer and songwriter Randy Newman. The soundtrack features two new songs "I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away" and "The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy." The end credit version of "The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy" is performed by multi-Platinum, Grammy®-winning musician Chris Stapleton. The song is available today as a single and lyric video. The soundtrack will be available from Walt Disney Records/Universal Music on June 21, the day after the film hits theatres nationwide, June 20.

The "Toy Story" films are beloved worldwide for their compelling characters, extraordinary storytelling, stunning visuals and the music of Randy Newman. The composer and songwriter is behind signature songs like "You've Got a Friend in Me", "Strange Things", "When She Loved Me" and "We Belong Together", the last of which earned him an Academy Award® for best original song in 2010. "His music defines these movies," said director Josh Cooley, "I can't imagine making a fourth one without Randy Newman."

Newman said, "I have great affection for the films, and it was good to be back in that world again." According to Newman, "Toy Story 4"—like its predecessors—has great emotional depth. "Important things are happening to people we love," he said. "There's plenty of action, but there's a lot of deeper stuff. This picture had a lot of opportunity to do things of some depth emotionally—but not overdo it."

Newman penned two new songs in the film, including "I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away", which is about Bonnie's craft-project-turned-toy, Forky. "He gets it in his head that he's disposable, so he keeps trying to throw himself in the trash can," said Newman. "And Woody has put himself in charge of keeping him from doing so."
"The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy" was written from Woody's perspective. Newman said, "Woody feels like he was a lonesome cowboy until someone comes along and changes his world." Newman was excited to hear Chris Stapleton would record the end credit version of the song and felt he'd bring Woody's feelings to life perfectly. "Chris Stapleton did a great job on this song."

Stapleton said, "To me what has made the 'Toy Story' films hold up over time has been the strength of the stories and the songs and the writing and the characters. There's something for people of all ages to enjoy in the world that is 'Toy Story.' It's a tremendous honor to get to sing a Randy Newman song in what is without question one of the most iconic animated franchises in history."

About Toy Story 4
Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that's Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie's beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky (voice of Tony Hale), declares himself as "trash" and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. But when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her family's road trip excursion, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep (voice of Annie Potts). After years of being on her own, Bo's adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realize they're worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find that's the least of their worries.
Directed by Josh Cooley ("Riley's First Date?"), and produced by Mark Nielsen (associate producer "Inside Out") and Jonas Rivera ("Inside Out," "Up") Disney and Pixar's "Toy Story 4" ventures to U.S. theaters on June 21, 2019.
