ALBUM REVIEW:

Things sure have changed since The Little Mermaid sang her heart out at the beaches, Pocahontas sang her grievances on the rocky cliffs and Mulan sang her about her spirituality at the shrines.

Now, we have these up-and-coming young pop stars re-imagining what classic Disney characters brought to life in animated movies.

Do not expect traditional musical numbers where animated characters break out into songs. Every song on this 15-track disc has been given a trippy twist to appeal to the younger crowd. After all, that’s where the money is coming from these days.

But we digress.

Whether it’s American Christian rock band Jonas Brothers belting their souls out in The Jungle Book’s “I Wan’na Be Like You”, Ashley Tisdale sultrily singing The Little Mermaid’s “Kiss The Girl” or Drew Seeley soulfully singing Cars’ “Find Yourself”, this 49-minute album can either introduce the younger ones to the unique brand of Disney music, or put of purists who cannot stand their favorite tunes being butchered to bits by techno beats and synthesizer-happy tunes.

The general direction this disc sets is a fizzy, bubbly and stress-free one. Anyone can pop this album into their player and mindlessly bop to the music.

The bubblegum pop album will please today’s too-cool-to-be-true kids. There is a formula to this disc that works – why else would there be five volumes of this enjoyably agreeable Disney compilation then?

ALBUM RATING:



Recommended Track: (4) I Wan'na Be Like You - Jonas Brothers
