The common ground between “it’s not a phase” emos and Disney adults has been found, and it just might rock.
On August 15, the official Mickey Mouse Instagram posted the track list for the upcoming album A Whole New Sound. The compilation album features covers of beloved Disney songs retooled by pop punk artists including LOLO, Mayday Parade, Meet Me @ the Altar, BOYS LIKE GIRLS, Tokio Hotel and more.
A Whole New Sound was announced July 11, one day before the release of its lead single “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” by Simple Plan. They performed the song on August 9 at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.
“It’s such an honor to offer our own version of this song and to cover such an iconic artist like Sir Elton John,” the band told Billboard. “We’re not sure if he heard the song or not, but we hope he will enjoy this new version and feel like we did it justice.”
In addition to the Simple Plan single, official music videos for Magnolia Park‘s version of “I2I” and New Found Glory‘s version of “Part of Your World” are available on the official DisneyMusicVEVO YouTube channel.
A Whole New Sound will be released on September 6 via Walt Disney Records.
