F3PR: Mickey & Friends release first single from Simple Plan as part of a new album of reimagined Disney hit songs

PRESS RELEASE

MICKEY & FRIENDS RELEASE
FIRST SINGLE FROM SIMPLE PLAN
AS PART OF A NEW ALBUM OF
REIMAGINED DISNEY HIT SONGS

Mickey & Friends introduce
A Whole New Sound,
an album featuring a selection of
Disney’s greatest hits covered by
iconic alternative, rock, and pop-punk bands

BURBANK, California – July 12, 2024 – Today, Disney announced that 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,” in honor of The Lion King from Walt Disney Animation Studios and its 30^th anniversary. This pop-punk cover, available now on all streaming platforms (including Amazon, Spotify, Apple Music, and more), is a fresh new take on a beloved classic.

“We wanted to pay homage to Sir Elton John’s original version while also adding our own style to it and making it sound fun and energetic. We’re really stoked by how it turned out and we hope everyone will enjoy it,” Simple Plan said.

For this new album, Mickey Mouse and his Friends have brought together some of their favorite alternative, rock, and pop-punk bands to reimagine popular Disney songs. The full album and vinyl will be available later this year.

As a cultural icon, music has never been just a phase for Mickey, as he is a huge music fan and has an extensive record collection —- which gave him the idea for this new album made for fans of all generations.

The artwork for the new album was also revealed today, featuring Mickey & Friends with a whole new look.

Mickey’s impact on music is well known, with his debut appearance marking the first animation to feature synchronized sound. His on-screen appearances since have been soundtracked by popular music across a multitude of genres.

On August 9, 2024, the award-winning band Simple Plan will take the stage at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event presented by Visa® to perform their version 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.

Mickey and his friends, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto have always been immersed in popular culture, and fans will soon see them emerge in even more exciting, and sometimes unexpected places, as they explore their interests in fun new ways.

About The Walt Disney Company

The Walt Disney Company, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, is a leading diversified international entertainment and media enterprise that includes three core business segments: Entertainment, Sports and Experiences.

About Simple Plan

From their new millennium rise to MTV superstardom through pop-punk’s modern resurgence, Simple Plan has been an indelible part of pop culture since forming in Montreal in 1999. They’ve sold 10 million albums worldwide, won multiple Juno Awards, performed at the 2010 Winter Olympics —- and, most recently, launched the omnipresent #ImJustAKid TikTok challenge that’s spawned more than 3.4 million videos, including clips from Hilary Duff, Ed Sheeran, Usher, and Venus and Serena Williams.

But most importantly, they’ve never lost connection with what really matters: their audience. “We feel so lucky to have fans who love our old and new material,” says drummer Chuck Comeau. “We’re very proud of our past, but we’re even more excited about the future. We truly always feel we’re three minutes away from the best or biggest song of our career.”

“It’s amazingly complex to be in a band for 20-plus years, to keep going, stay relevant, and manage all the challenges that come your way,” lead vocalist and bassist Pierre Bouvier says. “It’s the furthest thing from a simple plan—it’s truly a lot harder than it looks. Throughout our career, it’s taken a while to be mature enough to understand that our sound is an asset, not a liability. On the album Harder Than It Looks we said, 'Let’s just embrace who we are and not be afraid to do what we do best. Making a good Simple Plan record is just as hard as making something off the beaten path.'”

Movie Music Monday: Céline Dion returns to the stage for I Am: Celine Dion world premiere in New York

While continuing her battle with the debilitating condition known as Stiff Person Syndrome, tonight, Monday, June 17, legendary singer Céline Dion returned to the stage at Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. Alas, it was not for the big live comeback concert her fans the world over have been clamoring for since she was abruptly forced to interrupt her performing career, but for the world premiere/"special screening" of I Am: Celine Dion, an intimate documentary chronicling her heretofore private medical journey the past number of years. Below are Dion's emotional remarks prior to the screening, preceded by words from film's director/producer, Irene Taylor; and Amazon MGM Studios CEO Jennifer Salke.

I Am: Celine Dion will have a limited release in selected cinemas this Friday, June 21, before streaming worldwide on Prime Video beginning on Tuesday, June 25, from Amazon MGM Studios.

F3PR: Super Freak: The Rick James Story making its way to L.A. this June

PRESS RELEASE

SUPER FREAK: THE RICK JAMES STORY,
CELEBRATING THE KING OF PUNK-FUNK,
MAKING ITS WAY TO L.A. THIS JUNE

Four Performances Only!

Hollywood Pantages Theatre
June 6 - 8, 2024

February 6, 2024 – Broadway in Hollywood and Je'Caryous Entertainment are pleased to announce that the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles will host the L.A. Premiere of Super Freak: The Rick James Story, about the charismatic, flamboyant, provocative musician who dominated the airwaves, with his infectious song “Super Freak”. Rick James’ fusion of funk, groove and rock made the unruly pioneer the trendsetter of the 80's. Super Freak will play the Hollywood Pantages Theatre June 6 – 8, 2024 for four performances only.

Tickets for Super Freak are available for purchase at www.BroadwayInHollywood.com or in-person at the Hollywood Pantages Box Office. Check the website for current box office hours. All prices are subject to change without notice.

Always outrageous, Rick James was a master of celebration and now the party lives on through Super Freak. With a stellar cast, breathtaking choreography, and popular hits such as "Give It to Me Baby," "Mary Jane," and "Super Freak," this musical odyssey bursts to life on the gritty streets of Buffalo – the backdrop for the arrival of the King of Punk Funk.

With his iconic braids and leather-clad body, Rick's flamboyant and rebellious stage persona takes center stage as we follow his turbulent life; tracing his rise to stardom, his chart-topping hits, and the profound impact he made on modern music as a brilliant hitmaker, and influential producer.

Produced by acclaimed Writer/Producer/Director Je'Caryous Johnson and Ty James, James’ only daughter and President of the Rick James Estate, Super Freak: The Rick James Story is based on the books Glow by Rick James and David Ritz, and Memoirs of a Superfreak by Rick James, and is written by Johnson, J. Kyle Manzay and Troy Byer.

Johnson, who has earned acclaim for his dynamic and immersive theatrical productions, expressed his excitement about bringing Rick James' story to the stage. "Rick James was a true trailblazer whose influence continues to resonate in today's music landscape. With Super Freak: The Rick James Story, we aim to honor his unparalleled talent and captivating persona, giving audiences an unforgettable experience."

Ty James, who has been instrumental in preserving and promoting her father's musical legacy, shared her enthusiasm for the project. "This project is a labor of love and a tribute to my father's extraordinary life. I’m thrilled to collaborate with Je'Caryous Johnson to create an authentic and exhilarating portrayal of Rick James' journey, showcasing his musical genius and larger-than-life spirit."

Rick James was Motown’s hottest artist in the 80s releasing chart-topping hits "Super Freak" and "Give It To Me Baby" on his 1981 LP, Street Songs. These tracks showcased James' mesmerizing bass lines and infectious grooves that beckoned listeners to the dance floor. He was a sought-after producer, working on hits for Eddie Murphy (“Party All the Time”), The Temptations (“Standing On The Top”), The Mary Jane Girls and Teena Marie.

Super Freak: The Rick James Story takes audiences beyond the glittering facade. The musical explores the layers of Rick's internal struggles and insane lifestyle filled sex, drugs, and music. From humble beginnings to the glitzy, hedonistic world of Hollywood, Super Freak: The Rick James Story captures the essence of a musical icon, leaving audiences with an unforgettable experience and the resounding declaration, "He's Rick James, B*tch!"

About Je’Caryous Johnson:

For almost two decades, Je’Caryous Johnson has transformed the world of urban theatre and propelled himself into mainstream notoriety and success. It all started for him with his forward thinking to turn African American romance novels into stage plays. The four-time National Championship Playwright is a recipient of the NAACP 2007 Trailblazer Award and is the youngest producer/playwright to garner national media attention. He was the first person to adapt an African American romance novel into a stage play. He was also the first person to write and produce a novel and a play, simultaneously.

To date over 3.5 million people have seen Johnson’s shows and they have grossed over $150 million dollars in revenue. Some of Johnson’s hit plays have included Men Cry in the Dark with Allen Payne, The Maintenance Man with Billy Dee Williams, and Friends and Lovers and Cheaters with Grammy Award winning singer Brian McKnight. Married but Single and Married but Single Too, which starred LisaRaye McCoy and Bill Bellamy, sold out from coast to coast and continued to garner Johnson a groundswell of support and fans. Even his most recent endeavors Redemption of a Dogg, adapted for the stage and based on the hit gospel album of hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg; Two Can Play That Game starring Vivica A. Fox; Set It Off starring Da Brat as Cleo; and New Jack City, starring Allen Payne, reprising his role as Gee Money, and Naughty by Nature's Treach, both based on the hit movies, continue to establish Johnson as a trailblazer and put him in a league of his own.

About Ty James:

As the President of the Rick James estate, Ty James is wholeheartedly dedicated to honoring her father's musical contributions and ensuring his enduring impact on the history of music. She has joined forces with Showtime and Mass Appeal as an executive producer for the official documentary chronicling her father's life. The documentary premiered on September 3, 2021, offering an intimate and comprehensive portrayal of the legendary artist.

In addition to her involvement in the documentary, Ty James has launched a clothing line named after her father's band, Stonecity. This clothing line serves as a tribute to Rick James funky style and his profound musical legacy. Furthermore, she has established a music label called Dreammakers Worldwide, inspired by one of Rick James' hit songs. Through this label, Ty aspires to sign and promote artists whose music carries deep meaning and touches hearts, transcending through decades, much like her father's music does.

Ty James embraces her role as a custodian of her father's musical heritage, actively working on various projects to honor Rick James' legacy and support the continuation of his influential musical impact.

Super Freak: The Rick James Story is recommended for ages 18 and up. The show contains mature subject matter. Children under the age of 5 will not be admitted into the theatre. All patrons must have a ticket, regardless of age.
