Jessie Ware – “A Dream Is A Wish” (Cinderella Cover)
As a generation who grew up on Disney become artists in their own right, the nostalgia is growing stronger with each passing day. Which is why We Love Disney, a new album of Disney covers by artists in the prime of their musical careers, will see release this fall. Jessie Ware covered “A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes” from Cinderella, proving what a good songwriter she is in the process, as this is cover a bit tepid. She performs it basically exactly how it appears in the film with plenty of strings and super slow phrasing.
Here’s what Ware had to say about the cover:
Basically, I got accused of trying to sing too Disney on my first record when I was doing demoes. I love Disney songs so, so much, so to be able to sing on this album is a huge honor and a real treat.
Other artists who contributed songs to the album include Ne-Yo, Jessie J, Jason Derulo, Gwen Stefani, Ariana Grande, Fall Out Boy, Tori Kelly, Jhené Aiko, Rascal Flatts & Lucy Hale, Charles Perry, Jessie Ware, and Kacey Musgraves. Hear Ware’s cover and check out the full tracklist below. Personally, I’m very excited to hear Gwen Stefani take on “The Rainbow Connection” because that song is low-key brilliant. Kacey Musgraves doing the Mary Poppins classic “A Spoonful of Sugar” will probably be great, too.
