“The Princess and the Frog” Soundtrack Review & Giveaway
I have not yet seen “The Princess and the Frog,” but did see part of the parade when we last visited Disneyland! I LOVED the music and was excited for the opportunity to review “Princess and the Frog
“The Princess and the Frog” Soundtrack features the new Ne-Yo Single, “Never Knew I Needed.” Included are performances by Dr. John, Anika Noni Rose, Jim Cummings, Keith David, Michael Leon-Wooley Bruno Campos, Jenifer Lewis, and Terence Blanchard.
Walt Disney Records will release the soundtrack for The Princess and the Frog, available digitally and in stores on November 23, 2009. The Princess and the Frog marks the return to traditional hand-drawn 2D animation from the revered team of John Musker and Ron Clements, with music by Oscar®-winning composer Randy Newman. The Walt Disney Pictures film takes place in New Orleans, whose sounds of jazz, Zydeco, blues and Gospel present the perfect musical setting for the film. Multi-platinum, 3-time Grammy Award-winning Def Jam recording artist Ne-Yo contributes “Never Knew I Needed,” the featured end credit song of the film. The soundtrack features performances by Dr. John, the film’s Anika Noni Rose, Jim Cummings, Keith David, Michael Leon-Wooley, and Jenifer Lewis, with performances on trumpet by Terence Blanchard.
Ne-Yo made headlines one year ago when his most recent RIAA platinum album Year Of The Gentleman debuted at the top of the Soundscan and UK national charts. The album went on to generate a league-leading total of five Grammy Award nominations – with its #1 R&B smash single “Miss Independent” winning in the Best R&B Song (songwriters award) and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance categories. Year Of The Gentleman followed up Because Of You (released May 2007), which won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album, and In My Own Words (February 2006) – both of which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.
Walt Disney Animation Studios presents the musical The Princess and the Frog, an animated comedy set in the great city of New Orleans. From the creators of The Little Mermaid and Aladdin comes a modern twist on a classic tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana (Anika Noni Rose), a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana.

I want to win because… well, I won a giveaway a little while ago that stated that I was to receive a signed (by Randy Newman) copy of the CD, and all I got was the signed CD booklet. It’s cool and all, but I’m all about the music. I was pretty sad, to say the least.
Did you see part of the parade because you were waiting in line for Pirates or Haunted Mansion like us? The girl playing Tiana was good (though maybe she was lip syncing?)
My daughter was in love though and we took her picture with the rest of the riverboat people later in the day. She also has a Lewis doll that she takes everywhere now. She’d love this.

My oldest daughter and I went to see this movie together and she loved it. The soundtrack would make her very happy and would probably be in a constant state of playing in our living room.

Would love to win this for my granddaughter-she loved the movie
I would love to win this CD because I was not able to bring my three little ones to the movie (my three year old has severe asthma and couldn’t risk the swine flu). They have seen the commercials and really wanted to see it so the music would be a very nice surprise for our “dance hour” at home.
Thanks for the chance,
