While Alan Menken and his frequent collaborator Tim Rice returned to write the lyrics for songs such as “Evermore” in the live-action remake, Aladdin is calling upon the songwriters of the hour to pack some more songs in the film.
The actor confidently commented on the new songs in Aladdin to Variety’s Marc Malkin at the GQ Men of the Year party.
The upcoming film seems to take note from 2017’s Beauty and the Beast, which primarily used the original songs, but did feature some additional songs exclusive to the movie.
