Halle Bailey’s rendition of “Part of Your World” (as Ariel), was issued as the lead single from the project, and the new Little Mermaid soundtrack will also feature favorites like “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl” (with revamped lyrics) and “Poor Unfortunate Souls” sung by Melissa McCarthy’s Ursula.
In addition to Bailey and McCarthy, the star-studded cast includes Javier Bardem as King Triton, Jacob Tremblay as Flounder, Daveed Diggs as Sebastian and Awkwafina as Scuttle.
In a recent interview with Variety, Miranda teased a couple of the new songs for the live-action film, including “For the First Time,” which is sung by Ariel when she sets foot on land — yes — for the first time. Diggs and Awkwafina also perform a rap song titled “The Scuttlebutt.”
