James Newton Howard’s solution for this was to come up with a strong main theme.

When I think about Disney movies and their music, the songs are the first things that pop up in my mind, and since this movie itself does not have songs, the musical identity has to come from the film music. All the music for the movie has been written by James Newton Howard, except for the end credits song “Lead the Way” by Jhené Aiko.
While the animation style is the same as in other recent animated Disney movies, there is one major difference with Raya and the Last Dragon: This movie does not have any songs. In this world humans used to live in harmony with dragons, but things went bad and all the dragons turned to stone, leaving the humans behind in distrust and dividing them in different tribes. The movie introduces the new Disney princess Raya, who lives in a China-themed imaginary world. Raya and the Last Dragon is Disney’s latest animation movie, using computer animation technology like they have done for Tangled, Frozen and Moana 1. With COVID going on, however, the amount of movies being released has decreased significantly, and when James Newton Howard composes the music for two high-profile movies, I think I can justify reviewing his music for the most recent Disney movie Raya and the Last Dragon so soon after my review for News of the World, for which Newton Howard received an Oscar nomination. If there is one thing I try to avoid on this website, it is reviewing multiple soundtracks by the same composer in a short period.
