Two unlikely worlds – Disney – and punk music collide with a release next month of Disney’s A Whole New Sound…
Mickey Mouse and his friends are bringing music lovers A Whole New Sound as the full tracklist for the collection, set for release on September 6, as well as the kick-off for vinyl pre-orders that are set to release on October 4.
A Whole New Sound features iconic Disney songs reimagined by pop-punk pioneers, alternative rock hitmakers, and pop sensations. Music fans can pre-add the album on Apple Music and pre-save the album on Spotify.
New Found Glory, the multi-platinum pop-punk veterans, take the plunge into the sea with their electrifying rendition of “Part of Your World,” originally from Disney’s The Little Mermaid (1989). This energetic cover injects a fresh dose of punk rock spirit into Ariel’s classic yearning for adventure.
“In approaching this song, I sat with the lyrics and melodies for a while. I realized that to make people feel what Ariel’s feeling, we needed to match the energy of the music with the rebellious thoughts of the song, along with her hope for adventure. When she sings about wanting to dance, the music is upbeat and fun, but when she expresses her longing for freedom, the rhythm drops so you really feel the pull of the heart.
“Our band’s biggest goal has always been to show and encourage young adults, the young at heart, and any person that has a dream but faces self-doubt that there is another world out there that will accept them for exactly who they are. To not be afraid to take the next step.” – New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert
