Mickey & Friends Drop Debut Single with Simple Plan for New Album of Reimagined Disney Hits. Furthermore, Simple Plan announced to play D23 Aug 9th, 2024.

Today, Disney announced the first single from the upcoming album A Whole New Sound is multi-platinum band Simple Plan’s rendition of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” celebrating the 30th anniversary of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ The Lion King. This pop-punk cover, available now on all streaming platforms, is a fresh new take on a beloved classic.

“We wanted to pay homage to Sir Elton John’s original version while also adding our own style to it and making it sound fun and energetic,” Simple Plan said of reimagining the 1994 song. “We’re really stoked by how it turned out and we hope everyone will enjoy it.”

As a huge music fan, Mickey has an extensive record collection—which gave him the idea for a new album made for fans of all generations. Mickey and his Friends brought together some of their favorite alternative, rock, and pop-punk bands to reimagine popular Disney songs for A Whole New Sound, and the full album and vinyl will be available later this year.

The artwork for the new album was also revealed today, featuring Mickey & Friends with a whole new look.

Mickey’s impact on music is well known, with his debut appearance marking the first animation to feature synchronized sound. His on-screen appearances since then have been soundtracked by popular music across multiple genres.

On August 9, 2024, Simple Plan will take the stage at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event presented by Visa® to perform their interpretation of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” for Disney’s most devoted fans as part of the more expansive and immersive event.

“We grew up watching Disney movies with our families and now we get to enjoy them with our own kids, so it’s pretty amazing to have been invited to be on this album,” Simple Plan said.
