I can't find any soundtrack set to come out for the live action version. Is it not coming until later this year?

Okay more info!

The soundtrack will be released next Friday, May 10. The full album details are expected to be announced within the next few days.

There was an amazon link available for pre-order but Disney took it down. Shocked

Why are they being so weird about this soundtrack??

other than there's almost confirmed rumors Zayn Malik is working on a music video/single for the movie and they want it to be a surprise Laughing

....that's probably gonna be the worst sentence I'll read all week Laughing

You know, I thought Zayn was an odd choice for split second because he's really only known through a boyband that split up years ago and has had moderate success as a solo artist.

But then I realized there are absolutely no other Muslim/Greater Middle Eastern singers out there that American audiences would even remotely know about (cause it's obvious that's why he was tapped to do this project). I can't even name another one.

So I'm getting mixed dates for the soundtrack, but this is from the official press release: "The digital soundtrack is set for release on May 21 at 9:00 p.m. PT and will be followed by the physical album on May 24."

Here's the Amazon link (that says the soundtrack should be in on the 22nd): https://www.amazon.com/Aladdin-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/dp/B07RHQVPDQ/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=dm_aw_dp_sp_bb_sfa

37 tracks!!! (I'm trying to guess which song the track is based off who they say is singing, but there's not that many songs in the original and I ran out so I'm confused Laughing

)

Also

Disney explained that Will Smith and DJ Khaled would perform a "re-invented" version of "Friend Like Me" for the credits, and it would be released as a single from the film at some point. Khaled also produced the song.

Not too keen on Zayn and Zhavia Ward doing A Whole New World, but I look forward to Will Smith's rendition of Friend Like Me. That at least sounds interesting.

Soundtrack out today. Slight spoilers for the movie in some of the song titles (not the obvious ones you know already Laughing

)

Also I thought there was supposed to be a new song for al and jas?

I only listened to a teeeeeny bit of it, since I don't want to spoil too much. Disappointed in the autotune and that Mena clearly is noooot a singer at all. But I like the arrangements/orchestration/production etc. Also, I haven't listened to it yet, but I am told by a few sources that there is some pretty bad drumset use in AWNW.

Re: Spoilers, I opened Spotify and yelled "GREAT NOW WE KNOW JAFAR BECOMES SULTAN" to my boyfriend Laughing
