DAVID FOSTER GOES TO DISNEYLAND

Verve and Walt Disney Records have teamed up to create the compilation album We Love Disney, which will be released this October. The comp, which features interpretations of Disney classics from top acts from the rock, R&B, and country sectors, was produced by Verve Music Group Chairman David Foster.

“When the opportunity arose to partner with Walt Disney Records, I jumped on it,” said Foster. “The Disney franchise is something that brings out the kid in all of us... And there isn’t a person on the planet who doesn’t have a favorite Disney song. We tapped into that passion with all of the artists on the album. I tried to make the songs timeless so you couldn’t tell whether they were recorded 30 years ago or 30 years from now. The Disney catalog is so amazing. You have so many songs to pick from, going back almost 80 years now. So it’s an endless treasure and one of the most rewarding projects that I’ve ever done—and I’ve done a lot of stuff.”

The featured artists and songs will be announced soon. A lavish limited-edition box set is up for preorder at the Disney store.
