Disney has released the new recording of the classic song Beauty and The Beast, performed by John Legend and Ariana Grande. The 1992 original was sung by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson. In the love-action film due out in March, Emma Thompson as Mrs Potts will sing the song.
In a statement, Producer Ron Fair said, “Stepping into the shoes of an Oscar- and Grammy Award-winning classic is not small potatoes.” He added, “But with today’s two greatest singers—John Legend and Ariana Grande—we are bringing the song back with a new school/old school fresh treatment that shows the soulfulness and power of what a great melody and lyric can inspire.”
Listen to the ageless song that breathes with transformative life once again:
The latest trailer which made its debut on Monday night shows Belle played by Emma Watson carrying around her books in the village. We also catch a glimpse of Gaston (Luke Evans), Beast (Dan Stevens), and the castle servants.
