Only a few days left until I leave for the OZ premiere! Did you see the newest trailer during the Super Bowl? If not, here it is.
I am SOOO excited! I can’t wait to see this movie!
One of the things that I’ve been wondering about OZ The Great And Powerful is what the music soundtrack might be like. I got my first hint this week, when I learned that Mariah Carey recorded a song “Almost Home” especially for the movie. Mariah Carey is currently considered the best-selling female artist of all time with more than 200 million albums sold to date and eighteen Billboard #1 singles (seventeen self-penned). Not only does she hve talent, she’s lovely too.
“Almost Home” will be released as a single by Carey’s label, Island Def Jam, on February 19, 2013. Award-winning photographer/director David LaChapelle will direct Carey in the music video for “Almost Home.” The two long-time collaborators are reuniting in what LaChapelle describes as “a duet between Mariah and the movie.” LaChapelle photographed Carey previously for album covers, and directed her in the music video “Loverboy.” Disney, Carey and Island Def Jam plan to launch a promotional campaign to support the single, the video and the film.
“‘Almost Home’ has a message that works beautifully with the film,” Mariah Carey says of the song she co-wrote and co-produced for “Oz The Great and Powerful.” “It’s a feel-good record; it gives you the feeling of reaching your home and being with people that you love.”
The The OZ Great And Powerful soundtrack is looking promisingly powerful, I can’t wait to see what the rest of the soundtrack is like.
I will be attending this event as a guest of Disney, with all expenses paid. The information in this post was provided to me by Disney. As always, any personal opinions reflected in this post are my own and have not been influenced by the sponsor in any way.
