Princess and The Frog soundtrack review

I must say, listening to this once through really, really takes me back, the entire soundtrack is Disney through and through. Some of the orchestral work on this is reminiscent of the Toy Story score, and it was really quite refreshing hearing something like this, although The Princess and The Frog isn't being released in the UK until February 5,  it's quite an insightful album, it gave me a really good idea of how the film is going to be. Ne-Yo's contribution to the album gave it a cool, modern twist, something which is pretty special I guess, for a pretty special film. Anika Noni Rose, who plays 'Princess Tiana' in the film was a nice addition, in true Disney style, she had a voice which was delicate, yet powerful, and I thought it was really a nice listen. In comparison to the past Princesses, she definitely deserves to 'join the ranks',  and will be known for re-introducing the Disney Princess line-up to a new generation, and will also be known for being the first Black Princess, which was something I felt was LONG overdue. Kudos Disney. 8.5/10 for the album, could've used more pace, great first listen, would definitely listen to it again, brilliant accompaniment to the film. Kazed

Disney's The Princess and The Frog Soundtrack - Hear it in full online

Seeing as this is being released on Friday, I figured it'd be an appropriate time to post this. Check out the soundtrack, featuring Ne-Yo. Yep. Credit goes to ThinkTank Marketing for the following info.

Walt Disney Pictures' highly anticipated animated masterpiece, 'The Princess and the Frog' will have its official wide release this Friday, December 11th! In the meantime, everyone has been bumping the film's official soundtrack, which includes a lively collection of original songs and an orchestral score by Randy Newman, and Ne-Yo's romantic pop ballad, "Never Knew I Needed". Elton John, the man behind the award-winning soundtrack for 'The Lion King' has nothing but praise for Disney's decision to bring Newman on board for the film's music: "Randy Newman is, for me, an American treasure.... One of my favorite writers of all time, before he started writing for God knows how many animation movies with Pixar and Disney. This could be one of the best Disney scores ever, because I think he's fantastic." Chief Creative Officer for Pixar/Walt Disney Animation Studios, John Lasseter, also weighed about the significance of this particular soundtrack: "The songs in 'The Princess and the Frog' are so key to advancing the story, and also to really introducing the characters and learning about the characters; what they're about, what they want, what's inside them."
