The first preview is part of a 23-track soundtrack due on December 11, alongside the animated film’s Netflix release.

After that come Here and Moon, then Family, Morning and Back. NYC precedes The Wind; Every Second follows, before The Wave Call and the title piece In Waves. Next are Friends and The Promise, then Fly Again and Lilac before Piano Song.[1]
