Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Almost three decades after the original animated feature, Disney gave Aladdin the live-action film treatment, complete with updated versions of beloved songs. Original composer Alan Menken returned to the fold, putting a heavier musical-theater spin on tracks such as "Arabian Nights" and "Prince Ali," adding illustrative verses to breathe new life into the film's setting and characters. Stepping into the inimitable shoes of the late Robin Williams, new Genie Will Smith also added his own flair to these numbers, both utilizing his lyrical rap flow ("Friend Like Me") and stretching his voice with oft-soaring vocals ("Arabian Nights"). While most of the vocal performances are serviceable, Naomi Scott (playing Princess Jasmine) has a breakthrough moment with newly added song "Speechless," which showcases her moving vocals on a dramatic climax. In terms of star power, the Aladdin soundtrack features a distinctly 2019 take on "A Whole New World," recruiting Zayn Malik and Zhavia Ward for vocal duties and adding culturally appropriate Middle Eastern production touches. Likewise, "Friend Like Me (End Title)" receives a bombastic update with the help of DJ Khaled and brand-new rap verses by Smith. Overall, the Aladdin Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for 2019 serves mostly as a covers version of the beloved originals, with "Speechless" as the proverbial "diamond in the rough" that makes this collection worthwhile. ~ Neil Z.
