Kamasi Washington and Leon Bridges have released Trying To Get There ahead of Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy. The song arrived on November 11, with Washington credited as the principal artist and Bridges as the featured vocalist. The soundtrack album and the new animated special are both due on Friday, November 13.

Jeff Morrow supplies the special’s score. The album is listed under Morrow and Peanuts, bringing his music together with guest songs from Washington, John Legend and Laufey. Those different credits help explain the release: it is a soundtrack with several contributors, rather than a new Washington studio album with guest appearances throughout.

Two songs are available before the full album

The prerelease listing has fourteen tracks, but only two currently have active song links and displayed durations. Legend’s Get Ready occupies the opening position at 3:06. Trying To Get There appears at number seven and runs 2:23. Together, those two recordings provide five minutes and 29 seconds of advance listening.

That total belongs to the released pair, not to the fourteen-track album. The other twelve entries have no active song links on the prerelease listing checked on November 12. A short prerelease duration therefore does not establish how long the finished soundtrack will be. It is a useful distinction for anyone deciding whether they are seeing a single, a short sampler or the complete release.

Laufey’s Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is placed near the end, at track thirteen. It is a performance of an existing holiday standard, while the special’s announced original songs include Get Ready and Trying To Get There. Familiar titles elsewhere include Angels We Have Heard on High, Christmas Time is Here and the closing We Wish You a Merry Christmas.

The production credits add another layer to that mix. Raphael Saadiq produced Legend’s contribution, and Spencer Stewart produced Laufey’s recording. Morrow’s score credit describes his role across the special; it does not make him the performer or producer of every guest song. Reading those credits separately preserves the individual collaborations inside the larger collection.

The Peanuts and WildBrain production follows Snoopy after he lands on Santa’s naughty list, leaving him twelve days to improve his standing before Christmas. That is the story’s countdown. It should not be mistaken for a twelve-track album: the published soundtrack sequence contains fourteen entries.

Friday brings the chance to hear where the two advance songs sit among the rest of that sequence, as well as to see their place in the special. For now, listeners can start with Legend at track one and the Washington–Bridges pairing at track seven, while leaving the complete album’s running time open until all fourteen recordings are available.
