The new album “A Whole New Sound” (titled “Mickey Punk” in Japan), which features newly recorded covers of classic Disney songs in punk rock by artists ranging from famous rock, alternative, and pop punk bands to up-and-coming fresh artists, will be available for digital download starting today, September 6th, and will also be released on CD exclusively in Japan on October 9th.
A variety of artists came together for this film, and the Disney classics were arranged in a punk rock style, resulting in a sound that is somehow nostalgic and energetic. The Canadian band SIMPLE PLAN, which is popular in Japan, covers the song “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” from the Disney animated film “The Lion King,” which celebrated its 30th anniversary this year, and the Florida-based melodic punk band NEW FOUND GLORY, which was formed in 1997, covers the famous song “Part Of Your World” from “The Little Mermaid.” Other famous bands that participated include YELLOWCARD, PLAIN WHITE T’S, and BOYS LIKE GIRLS.
In addition, it has been decided that this album will be released on CD only in Japan. The jacket photo of the domestic CD version is based on orange and yellow, which is different from the digital album, and has a unique design featuring Mickey, Donald, and Goofy dressed in street fashion. In addition, as a first-come-first-served bonus, three character cards featuring Mickey and Friends will be included. Be sure to check it out!
