Samsung has released “Over the Horizon 2026” days before the Galaxy S26 steps onto the Unpacked stage. As expected, the company is using its signature anthem to set the tone before the hardware even gets a chance to speak.

This year’s theme is called “A Soundtrack of the Earth.”

The orchestral arrangement lands days before Samsung unveils the new Galaxy S series on February 25, which signals where the brand wants the conversation to go – “Harmony between technology and the planet.”

If you have followed this tradition, you know the drill. Each year, Samsung reinvents “Over the Horizon” to mirror its broader brand philosophy.

In 2024, we got a traditional Korean orchestra. In 2025, Samsung surprised us with a big band jazz spin. Now, for 2026, it goes full orchestral, no half measures.

The arrangement paints mountains with brass and horns, then drifts into legato strings that mirror calm seas. It is Samsung doing what it does best at launch time, building atmosphere before the first spec sheet appears.

Samsung did not stop at a conventional Western setup. The arrangement weaves in the angklung, a traditional Indonesian instrument, blending its wooden resonance into a modern orchestral frame.

Eunike Tanzil owns the 2026 edition of Over the Horizon. Her style is lyrical but controlled, expressive without tipping into melodrama. She translates natural imagery into musical texture with a precision that fits Samsung’s messaging.

The Royal Philharmonic took to the booths at Abbey Road Studios in London. Producer and engineer Jonathan Allen handled the Dolby Atmos mastering, with careful microphone placement preserving natural spatial depth.

This is more than background music for a product launch. It is the opening chapter of the Galaxy S26 lineup’s story. If history tells us anything, Samsung rarely picks its soundtrack by accident.
