First you heard Ne-Yo’s ‘Never Knew I Needed.’ Now several more songs from the ‘Princess and the Frog’ soundtrack are being introduced in a new short video from Walt Disney Records. In the clip, Anika Noni Rose (the voice of Princess Tiana) discusses her experiences making the film and shares some of her favorite music from the soundtrack.
Included are songs like ‘Ma Belle Evangeline,’ ‘Friends on the Other Side,’ ‘Dig a Little Deeper’ and ‘Almost There.’ I was especially impressed by the range of influences in this music, which includes African, French and gospel stylings, among others. Randy Newman–perhaps best known to the young people for his work on ‘Toy Story’ and ‘Cars’–composed the songs.
‘The Princess and the Frog’ hits theaters everywhere on December 11th. The soundtrack goes on sale November 23rd, and includes all of the above-mentioned tracks as well as titles such as ‘Down in New Orleans’ and ‘Gonna Take You There.’
