A bunch of big names in music have been tapped to sing some Disney classics for a new album. During the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California last weekend, Disney announced the star-studded compilation called "We Love Disney".
Among those set to make appearances on the album are Ariana Grande, Gwen Stefani and Ne-Yo. The former Nickelodeon star is singing "Zero to Hero" from "Hercules" while the No Doubt frontwoman will be covering "The Rainbow Connection" from "The Muppet Movie".
Ne-Yo, meanwhile, is reworking "Friend Like Me". The R&B superstar's version of the "Aladdin" song has been debuted as the first preview of the upcoming compilation produced by David Foster.
"We Love Disney" is available for pre order on iTunes before officially coming out on October 30 via Verve Records and Walt Disney Records. Other names featured in the project include Jessie J ("Part of Your World" from "The Little Mermaid"), Jason Derulo ("Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from "The Lion King"), Fall Out Boy ("I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)" from "The Jungle Book") and Rascal Flatts who teams up with Lucy Hale for "Let It Go" from "Frozen (2013)".
