Disney have announced a brand-new album featuring a selection of Disney hits reimagined by iconic alternative, rock, and pop-punk bands.
Whilst we’re yet to receive an official release date, the album’s first single is here in the form of Simple Plan’s take on The Lion King classic ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’.
Marking the film’s 30th anniversary, the band have spoken about their decision to cover the iconic song:
“We wanted to pay homage to Sir Elton John’s original version while also adding our own style to it and making it sound fun and energetic. We’re really stoked by how it turned out and we hope everyone will enjoy it.”
And speaking on their collaboration with Disney on this exciting new project, they have said:
“We grew up watching Disney movies with our families and now we get to enjoy them with our own kids so it’s pretty amazing to have been invited to be on this album.”
Check out the first taste of ‘A Whole New Sound’ below.
‘A Whole New Sound’ will see Mickey Mouse and his Friends bring together some of their favourite alternative, rock and pop-punk bands to reimagine popular Disney songs.
