Background and composition

Alan Menken, who composed the score and co-wrote songs for the original film, returned to compose the remake's score and to co-write two new songs, as well as to re-write songs from the original film.

At the 2017 D23 Expo, Alan Menken, who composed the score and co-wrote songs for the animated film Aladdin , was revealed to be co-writing new songs for its 2019 live-action remake with Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the songwriters of La La Land . [7] Menken will also compose the film's score, which will also include new versions of the original film's songs written by him, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. [5] Menken said that his score "is obviously pulled from the themes of the songs, almost exclusively, but it is much more live action in its textures and its tone" than the original film's. [8]

Menken, Pasek and Paul also wrote new lyrics for the original film's song "Arabian Nights", [9] which was reworked as a musical number that introduces the film's story and characters to the audience. [8] Menken said that "[t]he job really was to be following along with the camera as it soars through Agrabah, setting up this world for the audience", to which "[he, Pasek, and Paul] rewrote some of the lyrics to go with the visuals that Guy had in mind, introducing Jafar and basically setting the stage for the rest of the film", and said that "[i]t's a much bigger, much more ambitious number than it was [in the original film]". [8] Pasek, Paul, and Menken also rewrote the song "Prince Ali", [10] in order to fit the Genie's actor Will Smith's personality. [8] Smith said that "[Guy] knew how he wanted it to sound and how he wanted it to feel but gave [Smith] the freedom to use [his] hip hop background and bring a fresh vibe to [the song]". [8]

Pasek and Paul wrote the lyrics for a solo for the character of Jasmine, [9] [11] titled "Speechless", [12] [13] which Paul called "a beautiful piece of music", praising Scott's singing as "incredible". [9] Scott said that the song is "a punch in the face" and that "[i]t's just showcasing that [Jasmine] gets to a point where, 'It's not going to be easy and I may lose this fight, but I need to step up'", and felt that many girls will feel connected to the song's lyrics. [14] Menken said that the song "starts with a solo piano, very intimate, and really gets into the soul of Jasmine", before becoming more instrumental, and ultimately " at the end comes back full circle to that intimate piano with her voice reaching out over it". [8] Menken felt the song "has a beautiful arc to it", but said "the sound is orchestral and pianistic". [8] The film's executive producer, Marc Platt, called the song "Jasmine’s big breakout song where she decides she is going to stand up for what she believes in", and felt that "[t]he song parallels her arc in the story, sung timidly by Jasmine early on and then as a big empowering moment later in the film. Jafar has seized power as her father stands by helpless, and she finally has the strength to tell him what she envisions for her future". Pasek felt that "it made a lot of sense for this really strong woman that so many girls have grown up loving to talk about reclaiming her own power". [8] Pasek and Paul also wrote the lyrics for a new duet for Aladdin and Jasmine, which Paul referred to as "a sweet song". [9] [11] On May 19, 2019, Mena Massoud, who plays Aladdin, revealed that the duet was cut from the film. [15] The duet was to have been called "Desert Moon". [16] On August 20, 2019, Disney released the song to the public. [17] [18]

The film also features two re-worked versions of the song "Friend Like Me" from the original film; one performed in the film by Smith as the Genie, which was described as "a rap with melody"; [19] and an end-credits version performed by Smith and DJ Khaled, with Khaled also producing the end-credits version. [20] Smith and Khaled's version was released as a single. [3] The remake also features the original film's song "A Whole New World", [21] performed by Massoud and Scott respectively, [22] and an end-credits version of the song performed by Zayn Malik and Zhavia Ward. [3] Malik and Ward's version was released as a single on May 9, 2019. [3] A bilingual English and Spanish version, "Un Mundo Ideal", performed by Malik and Becky G, was released on May 17, 2019. [23] [24]

Ritchie said that the new songs are "marginally shifted" to reflect the changes between the time of the original film and the remake, though he said that "essentially the soundtrack’s the same, just somewhat embellished with a couple of new tunes in it". [25] [26]

<i>Aladdin</i> (1992 Disney film) American animated musical fantasy film

Aladdin is a 1992 American animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is based on the Arabic folktale "Aladdin" from One Thousand and One Nights. The film was produced and directed by John Musker and Ron Clements from a screenplay they cowrote with the writing team, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. Featuring the voices of Scott Weinger, Robin Williams, Linda Larkin, Jonathan Freeman, Frank Welker, Gilbert Gottfried and Douglas Seale, the film follows the titular Aladdin, an Arabian street urchin who finds a magic lamp containing a genie. With the genie's help, Aladdin disguises as a wealthy prince and tries to impress the Sultan of Agrabah to win the heart of his free-spirited daughter, Princess Jasmine, as the Sultan's evil vizier, Jafar, plots to steal the magic lamp.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Alan Menken</span> American composer (born 1949)

Alan Irwin Menken is an American composer, pianist, music director, and record producer, best known for his scores and songs for films produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and Skydance Animation. Menken's music for The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), and Pocahontas (1995) has each won him two Academy Awards. He also composed the scores and songs for Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Newsies (1992), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), Hercules (1997), Home on the Range (2004), Enchanted (2007), Tangled (2010), and Disenchanted (2022), among others. His accolades include winning eight Academy Awards — becoming the second most prolific Oscar winner in the music categories after Alfred Newman, a Tony Award, eleven Grammy Awards, seven Golden Globe Awards, and a Daytime Emmy Award. Menken is one of nineteen people to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.

"Colors of the Wind" is a song written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz for Walt Disney Pictures' 33rd animated feature film, Pocahontas (1995). The film's theme song, "Colors of the Wind" was originally recorded by American singer and actress Judy Kuhn in her role as the singing voice of Pocahontas. A pop ballad, the song's lyrics are about animism and respecting nature, finding its roots in indigenous Native American culture, perspectives which have later been adopted in both transcendentalist literature and New Age spirituality.

"A Whole New World" is the signature song from Disney's 1992 animated feature film Aladdin, with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice. A duet originally recorded by singers Brad Kane and Lea Salonga in their respective roles as the singing voices of the main characters Aladdin and Jasmine, the ballad serves as both the film's love and theme song. Lyrically, "A Whole New World" describes Aladdin showing the confined princess a life of freedom and the pair's acknowledgment of their love for each other while riding on a magic carpet. The song garnered an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 65th Academy Awards and a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song at the 50th Golden Globe Awards. "A Whole New World" also won the Grammy Awards for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or for Television at the 36th Annual Grammy Awards, as well as Song of the Year, the only Disney song to do so. In the same year, the version sung by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle was also nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals, winning the latter.

"Go the Distance" is a song from Disney's 1997 animated feature film Hercules. It was written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist David Zippel, and originally recorded by American actor Roger Bart in his film role as the singing voice of Hercules. American singer-songwriter Michael Bolton recorded a pop version of the song for the film's end credits, which was also included on his eleventh studio album All That Matters (1997). Puerto Rican singer and actor Ricky Martin performed the Spanish version of the song, both in the movie and in the credits; this version is included on Martin's album Vuelve. Both the song and its reprise featured in a stage production of Hercules, performed upon the Disney Wonder during 2007/2008.
