Minor "Sing" anomoly.

[babyzoomer]

The (normally fairly reliable) website "AllMusic" - which lists the writing/performing credits of all major artists - credits JL with a composing tag against the soundtrack of the 2016 kid's animated movie "Sing".

But I can't find any of his music listed anywhere in the movie - even on the extensive list offered by IMDb.

Has anyone watched the movie (bearing in mind that one review said "It doesn't just play the standards, it lowers them")?

Perhaps the AllMusic people have confused "Around the World" (which IS in the movie), with "All Over the World".

Help?

Seems like it's a mistake, but I couldn't provide any reliable information either.

(Typo in the title: unless it's an anomaly from moles, it should be spelled with an "a").

I just sat thru all 3 trailers for "Sing" (there's 10 minutes of my life gone...) and nothin' there either.
(The movie "Emoji" uses DBMD for one of the trailers, but not the actual movie).


I don't mind 'Around the World' - although the fruit-flavoured version in Sing is a bit of a trial.

I've been back over the 'AllMusic' site (WRT JL) and it's actually wildly inaccurate (at times) in attributing authorship.
It doesn't seem to have crossed their minds that someone else might have written songs called 'Jungle', 'Do Ya', 'Waterfall' etc...
The further back in time you go, the worse it gets.
Still it's useful for finding covers of JL songs.
