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.
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.
