Disney Dropped Halle Bailey's 'Part Of Your World' Today

  Disney dropped Halle Bailey's 'Part Of Your World' today, and fans have flooded Twitter to express their excitement over the song. But not everyone is convinced that this version is good enough to make it into the film. Some have pointed out that the underwater visuals don’t look like a mermaid should. That’s a minor issue, but it still doesn’t stop people from praising Bailey for her talent. 1. It’s a classic One month before Halle Bailey takes the stage as Ariel in Disney’s live-action reimagining of The Little Mermaid, the studio shared a full version of the actress singing the animated musical’s most iconic ballad, “Part Of Your World.” When Marshall was looking for the perfect candidate to play Ariel in his film, he found Bailey to be an ideal fit. She had the sprightly spirit, the youthful innocence and a strong singing voice that were all essential to the character. "It was like watching a great film actor being born," Marshall told Variety when the 23-year-old actress auditioned for the role in 2018. In addition to her vocal talent, Marshall said that Halle had the “rare combination of spirit, heart, youth and innocence” that were important to the mermaid. The upcoming Little Mermaid remake features music from Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda, and a new take on Ursula by Melissa McCarthy. The movie also stars Jonah Hauer-King as Ariel’s dashing prince, and will be released May 26. In addition to the full version of “Part Of Your World,” Disney also dropped a visualizer video for the song that includes footage from the movie. The video is available to stream on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music, and fans can check out the full soundtrack on May 19th. This latest rendition of “Part Of Your World” by Halle Bailey is not only the first time we’ve heard her as Ariel, but it’s also the first time we’ve listened to this song in its entirety. As a result, it’s definitely worth checking out before you go see the film in theaters on May 26. As one Twitter user noted, “Halle is just a breath away from becoming the next Beyonce.” She’s already starred in Freeform’s Grown-ish and Blitz Bazawule’s The Color Purple, so the actress has some experience with musicals. Regardless, this song will be a big hit with Disney fans, because of its catchy lyrics and Halle’s stunning falsetto. It’s no secret that Disney princesses have some of the most iconic voices in history. From Snow White singing to birds to Mulan’s lament, “Reflection,” these songs have become a cornerstone of pop culture. The classic song “Part Of Your World” is no exception, and Halle’s performance of it is an absolute must-listen. 2. It’s a Disney song It’s been a long time coming, but finally, Disney has released Halle Bailey’s version of 'Part Of Your World' from their live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. The track, which was originally performed by Jodi Benson, is one of the most recognizable songs from the animated classic. When Disney decided to update their live-action adaptation of the classic movie, they wanted to include a few more iconic songs that hadn’t been seen on screen in decades. So, the studio commissioned new music from Alan Menken and Howard Ashman to add to the original soundtrack. The first track on the soundtrack, “Under The Sea,” is an emotional number that captures Ariel’s underwater magic and love for her father. It’s also a song that many people will probably recognize from their childhood. Despite being a relatively simple song, it’s actually quite catchy and has been remade by many singers over the years. While no one can beat Jodi Benson’s take, Disney fans will likely find the latest version by Halle Bailey to be just as enjoyable. After hearing the reworked version, Twitter users are awestruck at how beautiful Bailey’s voice is. In fact, director Rob Marshall said that the singer left him in tears during her audition for the film after she performed 'Part Of Your World' to him. While some might argue that Disney should have made the song a little more upbeat, it still serves as a great reminder that life can be hard, but there are always brighter days ahead. The song also evokes the idea that life is better when we’re in love and can share our dreams with others. In a recent interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Bailey revealed that she has a deep connection to the song because of her childhood. She says that she was very young when she watched the original version of The Little Mermaid and that the song helped her to see how beautiful and wonderful her life is. This is the same song that Ariel sings in the original version of The Little Mermaid, and it’s easy to see why it holds a special place in her heart. The song is a testament to the character’s naiveté when she encounters human life on land for the first time. It also shows how Ariel is so excited to experience the world that she can’t stop talking about it and dreaming of becoming a human. 3. It’s a Halle Bailey song Halle Bailey is the new Ariel in Disney’s upcoming live-action version of The Little Mermaid, and to prepare for her big debut, she recorded her own version of one of the most iconic songs from the original. The song is “Part Of Your World” — the classic ballad from the 1989 animated film featuring Ariel’s yearning for life on land. In a recent interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Halle explained that she wanted her version of the song to be as close to Jodi Benson’s voice in the 1989 film as possible. She also shared that she has been in the studio recording her own version of the song for a while now. After hearing her latest rendition of the song, many fans are raving about how wonderful it sounds. The R&B singer, who is one half of the popular sister duo Chloe x Halle, told Lowe that she has been trying to keep her voice in tip-top shape ahead of her role as Ariel in the upcoming Disney film. Luckily for us, she’s managed to do just that. Her latest rendition of the song has a soft power that’s reminiscent of Jodi Benson’s original version, but with an effervescent edge. As one of the most memorable tracks from The Little Mermaid, the track reflects Ariel’s awe and naivete as she eagerly dreams of a life on land. It’s no wonder that Disney chose “Part Of Your World” as the centerpiece of their reimagined film, which will finally hit theaters next month. The new soundtrack for the live-action film will feature songs from Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, as well as new ones written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The full album will be available May 19, just one month before the movie hits theaters. For those who can’t wait to hear the full song, you can listen to a snippet of it on YouTube right now. You can also watch a visualizer with clips from the film. With a few weeks left until the movie hits theaters, fans are eager to see what Halle will do in her role as Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. The film will feature a cast that includes Javier Bardem, Melissa McCarthy, Jonah Hauer-King, Awkwafina, Daveed Diggs, and Noma Dumezweni. 4.
