*Moana* makes its comeback to theaters with brand new music, featuring the heartfelt ballad “Beyond” and the lively anthem “Can I Get a Chee Hoo?” UK editor Shannon Connelland had the opportunity to chat with leading actress Auliʻi Cravalho alongside songwriters Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear about the film’s creation and the way its soundtrack explores Moana’s path of personal development.

*Moana 2* is currently showing in U.S. cinemas and is set to release internationally on November 29.
