The score for Hitman: Contracts composed by Jesper Kyd and released in 2004 was quite a lot darker and malevolent than previous or subsequent scores by him. It features the same Latin choral arangements as in all the other scores but they are heavily sampled and mixed into the dark electronic soundscape.

As summed up by Kyd:

"First of all it is a much darker score. Hitman 2 was an epic story that kind of spanned all over the world. This one, although there are different locations, it's not one big epic story. It's a lot of darker, psychological small stories mixed together, so the score follows the darker aspect of Hitman and his career."
