The Princess and the Frog’ Soundtrack

Multi-platinum, 3-time Grammy Award-winning Def Jam recording artist Ne-Yo adds two new credits to his long list of successes over the last three years, starting with the announcement that his new song, “Never Knew I Needed”, will be the featured end credit song in Walt Disney’s 'The Princess and the Frog' animated motion picture event. The single was blasted out to Urban, Urban AC and Rhythmic radio on October 14th. Plans for the video, directed by Melina, will be announced shortly. The soundtrack album will be available November 23rd, and the movie, whose action takes place in New Orleans and the Louisiana bayou, will open in theatres on December 11th.

In addition to Ne-Yo's contribution, 'The Princess and the Frog' Soundtrack boosts a colorful collection of original songs and a lively orchestral score, both composed and conducted by Randy Newman.
