BURBANK, CA,
June 14, 2013 – This October 1, The Walt Disney Studios animated classic The Little Mermaid becomes a part of our
world like never before as an all-new Diamond Edition release. To celebrate the return of the movie that
gave voice to a whole generation, Disney has teamed up with the voice of a new
generation, Grammy®-nominated music superstar Carly Rae Jepsen, to record a new
version of The Little Mermaid’s beloved
song “Part of Your World,” which will appear as a music video on the upcoming
Diamond Edition Blu-ray™ Combo Pack releases.
Canadian singer/songwriter and breakout pop sensation, Carly Rae
Jepsen burst onto the scene with her Top Ten U.S. debut album Kiss and its global smash hit “Call Me
Maybe,” which held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for nine
consecutive weeks and climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes Singles charts in more
than 47 countries, while her music videos have amassed over 600 million VEVO
views. Jepsen won the 2012 American
Music Award for Best New Artist and received two 2012 GRAMMY Award nominations
for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. Her new single,
"Tonight I'm Getting Over You," The Remix ft. Nicki Minaj from her
Top Ten debut album Kiss is out now.
Ms. Jepsen is set to dazzle our world again with an exciting new rendition
of the classic ballad “Part of Your World.”
"Part of Your World" was
written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman and originally
recorded for the movie by American actress and singer Jodi Benson, who gave voice
to Disney’s favorite underwater princess, Ariel. The song is a Broadway-style
ballad in which young heroine Ariel expresses her desire to be a part of the
human world.
In addition to the new music video
“Part of Your World” featuring Ms. Jepsen, The
Little Mermaid Diamond Edition Blu-ray Combo Pack includes a cavern of
other wondrous bonus feature treasures. Viewers can experience the film in high
