Watch Weezer get ‘Lost in the Woods’ for their ‘Frozen 2’ soundtrack contribution

Weezer is getting a little help from a Disney princess for their latest music video.

On Monday (Dec. 9), the California-founded band unleashed the music video for “Lost in the Woods,” their contribution to the “Frozen 2” soundtrack.

The three-minute clip finds the band isolated in the fairy tale woods from the movie. Throughout the video, we watch as frontman Rivers Cuomo (who is dressed up as Kristoff) walks through the woods searching for something or rather someone. That someone turns out to be Princess Anna herself, Kristen Bell.

Watch the music video for “Lost in the Woods” above.

“Lost in the Woods” was initially performed by Jonathan Groff, who plays Kristoff in the latest installation of the hit Disney franchise.

Weezer joins the movie’s stars Idina Menzel (Elsa), Bell (Anna), Josh Gad (Olaf), Groff (Kristoff), and Evan Rachel Wood (Iduna) as well as Panic! at the Disco, and Kacey Musgraves on the soundtrack.

Like Panic! at the Disco’s version of “Into the Unknown,” Weezer’s take on the song is played during the end credits of the movie.

In other Weezer news, the group recently announced their new studio album Van Weezer will be out on May 15, 2020. Because a new album (and its accompanying single) wasn’t enough, the band also dropped the music video for another new song titled “California Snow,” while Cuomo penned and performed the theme song for Netflix’s “Green Eggs & Ham” series.

Next summer, Weezer will join Green Day and Fall Out Boy on their massive Hella Mega tour.

The lengthy outing will include shows in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, and Canada during the summer months of 2020.

The lengthy trek begins on June 13 at La Defense Arena in Paris and concludes almost three months later on Aug. 29 at Citizens Bank Park. The full list of tour dates can be found here.

Watch Brendon Urie take center stage in ‘Into the Unknown’

If you’re a parent, then you know for a fact that “Frozen 2” has already invaded movie theaters.

If you’re a fan of Panic! at the Disco, then you’re probably ready for the band’s music video for their take on one of the film’s newest songs.

On Friday (Nov. 22), the Las Vegas-founded act unleashed the over-three-minute clip for “Into the Unknown.” The video begins with frontman Brendon Urie looking every bit like a Las Vegas performer (technically he is) in a dressing room in a venue.

As the video progresses, we see that the venue in question is not an arena or a concert venue, but rather a theater. The rest of the clip consists of Urie standing at center stage, belting out the lyrics into an old-school microphone giving us some serious “But It’s Better If You Do” vibes.

Yup. It looks like Urie’s time on Broadway may have slightly influenced the music video.

In between shots of Urie performing in the empty (and beautiful) theater, there’s footage from the highly-anticipated sequel. The “Frozen 2” scenes primarily feature Queen Elsa, which makes sense since it’s one of her songs (performed by Idina Menzel).

Check out the music video for “Into the Unknown” above.

Panic! at the Disco joins the movie’s stars Menzel (Elsa), Kristen Bell (Anna), Josh Gad (Olaf), Jonathan Groff (Kristoff), and newcomer Evan Rachel Wood (Iduna) as well as Weezer, and Kacey Musgraves on the film’s soundtrack.

Oscar-award winning duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez return as the writers for the new tracks while Christophe Beck provided the original score for the sequel.

The “Frozen 2” soundtrack was released last Friday (Nov. 15) through Walt Disney Records. “Frozen 2” is now in theaters, so get ready to hear this song (and probably others) all over the radio for the next couple of years.

Panic! at the Disco head ‘Into the Unknown’ with their ‘Frozen 2’ contribution

It’s time to take a trip with Panic! at the Disco and head into the unknown.

On Monday (Nov. 4), the Las Vegas-founded band unleashed the full version of their “Frozen 2” soundtrack contribution, “Into the Unknown.” Originally performed by the film’s star Idina Menzel (aka Queen Elsa), this version is unmistakably Panic! at the Disco.

It’s definitely a Panic! song with frontman Brendon Urie’s easily recognizable vocals, those horns, and you can’t forget the collection of “ah ah ahs” that have become a staple throughout the last couple of Panic! at the Disco records.

Check out the lyric video for the song above.

The original version of “Into the Unknown” was featured in one of the first trailers released for the much-anticipated sequel.

Panic! at the Disco joins the movie’s stars Menzel (Elsa), Kristen Bell (Anna), Josh Gad (Olaf), Jonathan Groff (Kristoff), and newcomer Evan Rachel Wood (Iduna) as well as Weezer, and Kacey Musgraves on the upcoming film’s soundtrack.

Oscar-award winning duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez return to their post as the writers for the original songs while Christophe Beck will provide the original score for the highly-anticipated sequel.

The “Frozen 2” soundtrack is due out Nov. 15 thought Walt Disney Records. The record will be released a week before the film’s theatrical debut on Nov. 22 (just in time for Thanksgiving). Pre-orders for the soundtrack are currently available for purchase.

Tickets for “Frozen 2” are now on sale.

Weezer, Panic! at the Disco, and Kacey Musgraves join ‘Frozen 2’ soundtrack

It’s time to “Let It Go” and make your way “Into the Unknown.”

At least we hope so (for all of our sakes).

On Monday (Sept. 30), the House of Mouse released the full tracklisting for the upcoming “Frozen” sequel’s original motion picture soundtrack. Like the original flick, the sequel’s soundtrack will feature songs performed by the movie’s stars including Idina Menzel (Elsa), Kristen Bell (Anna), Josh Gad (Olaf), Jonathan Groff (Kristoff), and newcomer Evan Rachel Wood (Iduna).

What is different from the upcoming album and its 2013 predecessor is the inclusion of not one, but three end credit tracks. Taking a cue from pop music, the “Frozen 2” soundtrack will feature Panic! at the Disco, Weezer, and country darling Kacey Musgraves giving their own spin on three new tunes.

The Brendon Urie-led act will take on Idina Menzel’s “Into the Unknown” while the “Buddy Holly” band will provide their rendition of Jonathan Groff’s “Lost in the Woods.” Hopefully, Musgraves will give Evan Rachel Wood’s “All is Found” her signature country-pop vibe.

For now, you can watch the latest trailer for the upcoming flick, which features Menzel’s “Into the Unknown.”

Oscar-award winning duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez return to their post as the writers for the original songs while Christophe Beck will provide the original score for the highly-anticipated sequel.

The “Frozen 2” soundtrack is due out Nov. 15 thought Walt Disney Records. The record will be released a week before the film’s theatrical debut on Nov. 22 (just in time for Thanksgiving). Pre-orders for the soundtrack are currently available for purchase.

Frozen 2 in the Works

We’re pretty sure that we’ve seen every single rendition of Frozen’s “Let it Go” imaginable, you know parents with their kids, dudes with guitars, aliens, and so many more that YouTube should just dedicated a complete category to probably 2014’s biggest song.

But how about this for a twist? A dog that howls along to the song?

Over the weekend, a one and a half minute clip was uploaded to YouTube of just that. The video features an Australian Shepherd names Oakley as he howls along to the song. But, before anyone can think that it’s a set up, pay attention as at first Oakley doesn’t pay attention to the song on the radio; Charli XCX’s Fault in Our Stars track, “Boom Clap.”

As soon as Oakley’s human parents put “Let it Go” on, the dog’s expression changes as he becomes interested in the song and just like a four-year-old who is obsessed with the Disney film, Oakley starts to howl along to the song.

And if “Let it Go” is on your last nerve, like most of us, just watch the cute puppy get in touch with his inner Queen Elsa (or Adele Dazeem).

Pearl Jam Cover ‘Frozen’ Track at Recent Gig

PearlJam-2012

Just when you thought you have heard every single cover of “Let it Go” from the hit Disney animated film, you really haven’t. This weekend a new cover of the infectious and quickly-becoming-annoying track was released onto the internet and the people behind the cover of the song might shock you; Pearl Jam.

Yes, the Eddie Vedder-fronted band played a portion of the award-winning song as an extended version of their song, “Daughters” during a gig at Stadio San Siro in Milan, Italy this past Friday. Watch the fan shot video below.

Frozen is currently hitting the high waves and breaking records for the Disney company, while parents are still shelling out thousands for merchandise.

As for Pearl Jam, the band are scheduled to perform at this year’s Austin City Limits festival alongside Eminem, OutKast, Belle & Sebastian, The Replacement, Calvin Harris and many more.

Disney Release Album of Multilingual “Let it Go” Covers

letitgofrozen

Think you’ve heard every single version of Frozen‘s “Let it Go” that is available in the world?

Well, you might be wrong about that because it was revealed that Disney release a record which features 50 different versions of the hit song this past Tuesday (April 15). Originally sang by Idina Menzel (or Adele Dazeem, up to you), the song was first cover by pop star Demi Lovato before the film hit theaters and became a hands down hit following the onslaught of the world covering it and even crooning it out on the car.

Don’t lie, you’ve done it too.

The album will feature version of the song sang in different languages including Arabic, Dutch, Finnish, German Greek and many, many more. The album is currently available on Amazon and can be purchase there. Some behind-the-mic footage from the recordings has been made available; watch it now.

Frozen has now broken so many records, it’s hard to keep it in check. The soundtrack has spent ten weeks at number one on the Billboard 200, has gone platinum selling over 2.1 millions copies, made composer Robert Lopez the youngest person to become an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony winner) and parents are shelling out thousand so their children can get official Disney merchandise from the film.

When you have a hit, you have a hit. Lion King, beware, Elsa and Anna are coming for your title.

Idina Menzel and Jimmy Fallon Take on ‘Frozen’

letitgo

Last night, Idina Menzel or shall we call her Adele Nazeem took to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to perform her Academy Award winning song “Let it Go” from Frozen.

The cute video features Fallon, The Roots and Menzel playing kiddie instruments that you would find in a music class at your local elementary school including the likes of a small electronic piano, a color xylophone, a triangle and a couple of blocks.

If the scene looks familiar to you, then you’d be right. Last Summer, Fallon did the same kind of skit with Robin Thicke where they performed “Blurred Lines” with the same kiddie instruments.

Watch the adorable clip below and have fun singing along to it.
