“The Princess and the Frog” Soundtrack Review

the princess and the frog I am so excited!! I received my review copy of The Princess and the Frog soundtrack and it is one great soundtrack. Walt Disney Records will release the soundtrack, digitally and in stores, on November 23rd. “The Princess and the Frog” marks the return to traditional hand-drawn 2D animation, which I think is amazing.

The film takes place in New Orleans, where sounds of jazz, Zydeco, blues and Gospel are the musical setting for the film. Three time Grammy Award-winning artist Ne-Yo contributed “Never Knew I Needed”, which is the featured end credit song.

The soundtrack also features performances by Dr. John, Anika Noni Rose (who is the voice of Princess Tiana), Jim Cummings, Keith David, Michael Leon-Wooley and Jennifer Lewis, and a performance on trumpet made by Terence Blanchard.

This CD has a great combination of Scores and Songs by some amazingly talented people. I love the song “Never Knew I Needed” from Ne-Yo and “Down in New Orleans” from Anika Noni Rose. She has one gorgeous voice.

I was already excited about this movie, but now that I’ve heard the soundtrack, I am even more excited!
