At the start of October, we were treated to a music video for Aladdin's "Friend Like Me" performed by Ne-Yo off the upcoming covers album We Love Disney. Now the stream of pre-released songs continues with Jessie Ware's cover of Cinderella's "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes."
We Love Disney is set for an Oct. 30 release date featuring covers from Ariana Grande, Kacey Musgraves, Jhené Aiko, Jason Derulo, Fall Out Boy, Gwen Stefani, Tori Kelly, Rascal Flatts with Lucy Hale and more.
Some of the songs covered include "Part of Your World," "Can You Feel the Love," "Zero To Hero," "Colors of the Wind," "It's A Small World" and many more.
Disney fanatics can also hear Charles Perry's cover of The Aristocats' "Ev'rybody Wants To Be a Cat" and Brenna Whitaker's performance of "It's Not Easy Being Green" from The Muppet Show.
According to Pitchfork, Ware said in a promotional video that her voice was compared to that of a Disney crooner early on in her career. "Basically, I got accused of trying to sing too Disney on my first record when I was doing demoes," Ware said. "I love Disney songs so, so much, so to be able to sing on this album is a huge honor and a real treat."
Ware doesn't deviate too far from the formula of the original song, but the instrumentation is expanded and intensified to back her voice. If anything, it sounds like it could be found on a Christmas song.
The full We Love Disney album drops Oct. 30.
