Song of the Week- Let It Go by Idina Menzel, from Frozen Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Ok, so I am big fan of Disney and their amazing animated
films, and so when I went to see their latest animated feature Frozen, I was
really excited. The film definitely did not disappoint, featuring a heart-warming
story that brought a tear to my eye and bringing new songs into the wonderful
Disney music canon. As such a mega fan it is only right that I highlight at
least one of the films brilliant musical pieces, and so this week’s song of the
week is Let It Go, which is sung by the brilliant Idina Menzel. The song is a
lyrical masterpiece that focuses on the idea of letting go of fear and
welcoming the power you have in life, and the song lyrically is wonderful in
the way that it is intricately entwined with the films story but yet has this
heartfelt purity and substance that can make the song transcend beyond the
film. Menzel gives a superb vocal performance for the track, allowing her
Broadway honed voice to be flexed to great effect and creating an emotive
essence to the song that makes it all the more powerful. Production wise the
song features a lovely arrangement of piano and strings that builds in a
powerful, signature Disney way that makes this a great emotional piece, and if
you aren’t a big show tune person there is also a cool Disney pop cover version
from the equally awesome Demi Lovato. This is a worthy addition to a list of
great Disney songs, showing off Idina Menzel in the best way and just showing
the public that Disney animated films are amazing and always will be.
