'Let It Go' turns 9! Disney dropped the ICONIC 'Frozen' soundtrack album ALMOST a decade ago
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Throwback Thursday much? No one can 'let it go' when one of the iconic Disney movies' soundtracks albums turns nine. 'Frozen's album has been labeled as 'one of the greatest music albums' of all Princess movies. The songs for 'Frozen' were written and composed by the husband-and-wife songwriting team of Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, both of whom had previously worked with Disney Animation on 'Winnie the Pooh,' and before that, with Disney Parks on 'Finding Nemo' - (The Musical). Although, the actors who voiced their characters mostly sang their songs.
Regardless, Lopez and Anderson-Lopez were aware of the fact that their work would be compared to that of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman from the Disney Renaissance era, and whenever they felt lost, they asked "What would Ashman do?" In the end, they wrote 25 songs for the film, of which eight made it into the final version. One song ('For the First Time in Forever') had a reprise and the other ('Let It Go') was covered by Demi Lovato over the final credits, for a total of ten songs. However out of those, seven of the 17 did not make it and were later released on the deluxe edition soundtrack.
