THE LITTLE MERMAID Soundtrack to Be Released in May Featuring New Songs By Lin-Manuel Miranda & Alan Menken

The Little Mermaid soundtrack is now available for pre-order and pre-save ahead of its digital release on May 19, a week before the film's May 26 theatrical release date.

Through the new pre-order and pre-save link, the album is available to pre-save on Spotify and Apple Music. It is also available to pre-order on CD and vinyl from Target, along with a clear and sky blue vinyl pressing from Walmart and a baby blue vinyl from Disney Emporium.

Featuring all-new performances by the cast, the soundtrack is set to feature four new original songs that the original film's composer, Alan Menken, co-wrote with Lin-Manuel Miranda.

"At first, Lin-Manuel Miranda was struggling to do Alan Menken-style songs, and he felt like, walking in Howard Ashman's shoes was a daunting prospect. Then we wrote some songs that were in Lin's wheelhouse and for me, walking in Lin-Manuel Miranda's shoes was a daunting prospect, but we had a blast," Menken recently shared.

The iconic Disney movie musical features classic songs like "Part Of Your World," "Poor Unfortunate Souls," "Kiss the Girl," and "Under the Sea."

Rob Marshall's new live action reimagining of The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton's daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric.

While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life - and her father's crown - in jeopardy.
