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.
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.
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.
